I just press records
0:04
I'll record the last 15 minutes. What the heck? Anyway, thoughts at all from the breakout rooms on the questions of the day
0:13
We better say something genius since you're recording right now. Yeah, well, I'm just wondering how when I write record in big, bold letters at the top of my notes, I cannot remember to record
0:24
But you get so excited to talk to us. Yeah, I think that
0:27
I think that's exactly what it is. So STK, what a perfect example of contributing
0:35
Anything for the breakout room or the training earlier? Yeah, we got, Mark's got something to say
0:40
Yeah, Mark had the best insight today. Okay, we'll get to Mr. Samar and Mr. Golden Gate Bridge in the second here
0:47
STK, you first and then Jeff. Oh, I was just going to say that I invited Nikki today to experience a little bit of David
0:57
and what I think you're doing here every time I come, you're better
1:04
Like you're a better facilitator. The event is better. So I just want to compliment that, and I love the topic
1:13
Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that very much. And yes, thank you, Nikki, for coming and everybody else at our first timers, too
1:20
Jeff. I wanted to grab a screenshot real quick if you're aligned to that
1:26
Of course. All right, everybody. I'll count down from three. Go ahead and say cheese
1:31
Three, two, one. Cheese. Got it. Cool. And yeah, we had a great conversation around our individual styles and the way that we focus or are good listeners
1:42
So it's unique to each individual. The more self-awareness you have about who you are as a person, I think supports with that
1:48
So that was a conversation carried Nikki and I had. Yeah. Yeah
1:52
Good point. Mr. Caten, you had something to add from your breakout room
1:56
Well, we talked about really never got off the first question about, you know, listening
2:05
And Charles brought up a very important thing about curiosity and gave a quick short scenario of him in business going in and quickly finding a solution
2:20
But then finding that even if his solution was there, he got feedback that he did
2:26
hear, he didn't benefit because people didn't feel listened to. So his solution came faster than they were listening to
2:36
And one of my suggestions was that there was an actual benefit to him to listen
2:43
because when he gets buy-in by his clients or whoever he's providing his solution to
2:52
that further benefits him. in a roundabout fashion because they're going to then agree
3:00
for the most part what he has presented. So that was the only thing I said
3:06
Good point. Thanks for that input. Sajad. Harry, you had your hand up. You want to go first? I talk enough
3:12
I go a second. I'm happy to talk and I talk just as much as you Sajad
3:18
so, you know, we should have conversation. And you're almost as pretty as me too
3:22
We're both very brilliant and good looking. You know, there you go
3:26
You know, what I was thinking about, and I don't know that this was exactly said in the conversation, is expectation
3:35
And to the point earlier made about curiosity, I think when we show up without X..
3:42
Carey immuted yourself. Wait, Carrie, you muted yourself. I did. Of course I did
3:50
When we put aside our expectations and we show up from a place of curiosity
3:56
and grace, meaning holding space for and giving people the ability to be where they are in any
4:04
given moment, you really are able to create a deep and meaningful connection through not just
4:12
listening but being just present with what is rather than what we expect it to be Yeah good point Good point So John
4:26
I completely agree with that. I teach that to operate with intention. Don't be concerned with the outcome
4:32
So don't try to get, you're not trying, you have an intention to what you're doing
4:35
but you're not desperate for getting something. But you have a purpose to what you're doing. oh
4:43
everybody was wonderful you already where the young lady go did she leave
4:48
now Debbie was cool as hell Walter's cool as hell very kind nice people
4:53
and whereas did the other woman leave did she leave or did people get moving around
4:57
no I'm right here oh there she is sorry you went from over there
5:01
and over there Julie is a damn superstar that woman is sweet and she's brilliant
5:06
and it was just I mean Walter back me up here She was great, man
5:11
Like, she's really sharp. You got a great smile. Great smile. Yeah
5:15
Oh, thank you. Super warm and inviting and attractive. I'm not hollering at you
5:20
I date 26-year-old. But, but like, you're like really, you're magnetic and dynamic
5:26
You're really attractive. Thank you so much. David to echo Suzanne Taylor King and you know I don't ever lie or say anything nice
5:33
You did a perfect job today. Oh, thank you. Killed it. Like, I have, usually I call you and tell you
5:39
tell you everything you did wrong. I don't have. You, you were perfect today
5:46
Oh, and then a shameless self-promotion. Tomorrow's polarizing networking. The most polarizing
5:51
networking on the earth. My partner is Jen Carpenter. She believes in no like trust
5:56
Go-Giverin. It's all about relationships. She's wrong about everything, even though she's highly intelligent
6:01
It's about driving a $76,000 twin turbo and having a super hot
6:05
27-year-old girlfriend. That's the meaning of life. David, you did a great job, man. Thank you
6:09
Thanks, Sajat. I appreciate that. Charlie. Just to build on all of this praise that you're getting, David
6:17
You had more wisdom per square inch of anybody I've listened to in a long time
6:23
Oh, thank you. Thank you. You're looking good in that new office, by the way
6:28
I think that new setting is great. Thank you very much. Thank you
6:32
Well, speaking of... Why don't you fly in and we'll spend some time to go
6:36
I will. I'm planning on that. I'll go to STK first and then I'm coming to your place
6:41
You go to STK, you ain't going to leave. That's probably a good point
6:47
Okay, so for those of you who are here last month, it's all kind of hard to predict who is there from month to month
6:53
Does anybody remember the homework assignment from last month? If so, raise your virtual or say whatever actual hand
7:01
John, you remember? You're muted. I wasn't here last. month. I was going to comment on something else, so I'll just be quiet and let you go. I'm trying to figure out how to lower my hand right now
7:16
So, Jad, do you remember? I don't think you were here last month, Suja. I think you missed that one
7:23
I found my notes. Yes. It was making a list of all of your most memorable events in life
7:29
That is absolutely 100% correct. And so let me just mention because the proctor or the student or the teacher, rather
7:37
the instructor, of course, does he have his homework done? Because it's already done. Here it is
7:43
The top 100 most memorable events of my life. There's three pages on this. And the whole concept
7:49
behind this is you can do either a top 25, top 50, or top 100. If you're my age, it's more than
7:55
likely it's a top 100 or my good friend Mark, one of the few people that's older than me
7:59
which is so important to me because I'm always the oldest guy in the room. But it's so important to put
8:04
these things down and I was looking at mine headed on the bulletin board and then put in
8:08
order of importance. What are the most important? Number one for me, my son Connor, number two
8:13
Kyle. And it goes right down the list, private pilot license, owning my own airplane, national
8:18
champion high airplane driver, blah, blah, blah, all these things, the top 100. You're having a bad day
8:24
and you go look at this list. You will feel better. It's unbelievable. I recently, for those of you
8:30
that know me even more intimately, that's going to be the right word I'm going to use. I had a flood in my condo It a frickin nightmare in my deck and my fireplace and TV living room dining They all plasticized off I want to look on that list to see where your buddy waltz out on that list
8:46
Where's it out? I think that's in the addendum. I can actually check and see it out here
8:51
But the thing is so two-thirds of my condo is not usable. But guess what
8:55
I still have a great view of Lake Washington. I get this office. If this office is flooded, it would have been a fric nightmare with printers and computers and all
9:03
that kind of stuff. So it's focusing on the most memorable event of your life. And I did that wording
9:08
very specifically because it's not how much money you made or what kind of car you drove or anything
9:13
like this. It's that what are the things that you're going to stick with? So on your dying eight days
9:17
as you're coming like, Sajad, you may be having that with your father at some point. What are the things
9:21
that you remember? Where's where you made an impact? So did anybody do it from this actual last time besides
9:26
Jeff Sarah? Mark Caten, good job. All right. So Mark Dayton, you have a gratitude journal, don't you
9:33
if not i do yes i do but i have to amend that i only did the top 25 because you
9:39
that's all right no it's it's okay it's just the whole idea is that for me if you get to be yours or
9:44
my age it's going to be more like a hundred things than 25 or 50 if somebody's younger i wouldn't
9:49
expect they necessarily they could but they wouldn't necessarily have that much to do or have
9:53
that many on the list so but it's and it's the reason i gave you the homework on it is it's so
9:58
important to do is because it's it takes time you can't think of it all at one setting
10:03
You have to kind of keep the pad of paper and pen or whatever you use or put a word doc on your desktop
10:07
and just add to it and add to it. And I mean, there's all sorts of things. So I saw the Beatles twice
10:12
I ran a marathon in 1981. I ran 2410Ks. I authored six books
10:17
I mean, it's just different. You can't think of that all at once. But as you start thinking of those things, you'll be amazed
10:22
And again, print it and put it somewhere where you can see it. Mine is right next to Theodore Roosevelt's the man in the arena saying, which I just love, better to be scarred
10:32
and muddy and dirty, than being the poor, timid souls that do not know victory nor defeat
10:39
because they never take a chance. Some of us just have to take chances on things
10:43
So, all right, so a couple other things, and then I'm going to do one exercise, and we're going to wrap up
10:48
So on August 4th, I put this in there, excuse me, August 4th
10:52
April 4th, I'm starting a high-level gratitude infusion roundtable. It's in the chat
10:58
if you're interested, but let me just read to you a little bit about what this is about. Please join me for a high-level
11:02
level group of like-minded individuals that want to take their appreciation and thankfulness
11:07
to an elevated level in the gratitude infusion roundtable, different from the mastermind
11:13
I don't see it in the chat, David. What's that? I don't see it in the chat
11:17
God again? What the heck? Let me go, Cal, let me try this
11:23
Oh, I think what happens is when somebody sends you something at like. Yeah, you're automatically responding to them
11:29
Yeah, I think that's, okay, hold on. I told you hire one of my assistants. It's up near the top, too
11:36
Yeah, it's up near the top. You have to say see more. Okay, perfect
11:40
Thank you. You got to click the button. Okay, thank you. So, yeah, because I did put it in earlier too
11:44
So this monthly meeting will give you consistent tools to navigate the sometimes challenging
11:49
obstacles that we all face in life. The power of the mastermind will assist in helping you build stronger coping mechanisms
11:55
and coping skills. The agenda will feature a member focus for the month, a guest speaker
12:01
a content pillar, a breakout room, a recommended book, and numerous exercises and activities
12:08
Feedback will be highly encouraged. The roundtable will be limited to no more than 20 individuals
12:13
Don't you miss your chance to be a part of this group. Gratitude is going to be on the first
12:17
infusion roundtable will meet on the first Thursday of the month. It's $97 a month, and there's a link to
12:21
sign up for it right in the chat, which obviously is a little bit towards the top. So, all right
12:27
So we have four minutes to go, and we're going to do one little exercise to wrap things up
12:32
assuming that there's no other. Get a piece of paper out, if you would, and a piece of paper, a pad of paper, a pen, whatever
12:39
We're going to do the U-R exercise to wrap things up. Some of you have heard this before
12:43
It's always a good one to wrap up on, focusing on how blessed you are and the many things you bring to the table
12:49
So right, you are at the top of the page, Y-O-U-A-R-E, you are
12:54
and then underneath that I going to give you 60 seconds and this is what I want you to do I want you to be your biggest cheerleader So it your husband your wife your best friend your son your daughter your mother your father whoever is the person walking this earth that thinks you the coolest cat in the world
13:11
I want you to be that person for 60 seconds. And what we're going to do is it, where there's my stopwatch
13:17
I want you to pretend you're them for 60 seconds. So they go, you are talented, you are funny, you are pretty, you are nice
13:24
whatever they would describe you, write as many words as you can to how they would describe you, go
13:54
And stop. And I'm sure. And I'm sure in many
14:24
cases you could write a lot more words but we only have 60 seconds for this so with a show so reread it
14:31
took you 60 seconds to write it take 10 seconds to reread each one of those words that describe you from
14:37
that best cheerleader and plant it in your brain and just put those each in your brain as you read
14:41
down those over 10 or 12 seconds and with a show of hands either actual hand to the screen or a
14:47
virtual hand how many people after reading that feel better about themselves raise your hand if that's the case
14:55
That was easy. Yes, it was. There's such a perfect example of how a gratitude journal can impact you every single day
15:03
It's talking about all these blessings. I had somebody come by to a talk once to me, and they said, how can you even have people
15:07
write down their shortcomings? What do you mean shortcomings? What do you think is Dave's negative talk here
15:13
You're all depressed and want to go find a bridge somewhere to jump off
15:17
Shortcomings for God's sake. Your blessings and abundance. Gratitude turns what you have into enough
15:22
So anyway, so good job. So almost everybody raised their hand. At Mercer Island yesterday, about half the people raised their hand and half didn't
15:29
And Julie, did you want to say something? No. No, I'm just raising my hands
15:35
Oh, good, good. No, I mean, I have to watch myself once in a while. This is too much information
15:39
But at Mercer Island yesterday, I know there's about 60 or 70 people. And about half of them raised their hands
15:44
And I kind of looked at the other hand, but what's wrong with you people? That didn't have an impact on you
15:49
And it was even actually the gratitude thing, what they're most grateful for it. You should be talking about your health, your family, your friends, your kids, your, the roof over your head, food in the refrigerator
15:58
You can always focus on things you're grateful for. And they all just sit there looking at me like this, like the Amish at Circuit City
16:05
You know, it's like whatever. I mean, I tell you, it's just one of those things that I don't understand
16:09
So anyway, any last questions before we wrap up? Thank you all for attending today by saying, oh, wait a minute, Kevin Connor
16:15
I think, did you, Kevin? Oh, no, you just raised your hand to say that you felt better
16:19
Any other final thoughts? I'm grateful. Thank you, Mr. Connor. I appreciate it
16:23
You put me in a room with John Tonick, and it was very easy to practice my listening skills
16:27
because he has very interesting. And I was taking notes and say no. I'll leave you with this
16:32
He said it was very because he's a forensic accountant. Yeah. Under pressure, under enough pressure, almost anyone is capable of doing anything, which is kind of interesting
16:42
Oh, that's true. It could be a good and bad way. So, thanks, John. That's a good point
16:45
As I've gotten to know a little bit more about John, he's got some interesting stories
16:52
I've watched a couple of videos, too. It's really interesting, too. Anyway, but so, all right, any final thoughts
16:58
One zero, zero. So we start and finish right on time. Thank you all
17:03
We'll see you next month. Thanks, everybody. On May for our, excuse me, for April for our next big gratitude
17:08
Thank you all so much. Bye, all. Great meeting. Bye. Thank you
17:13
Hi
