OMG on the advice. I had a call this week with a sound engineer about the process of recording a book. He talked straight at me for 20 minutes without drawing breath, then asked me a question which he proceeded to answer himself. THEN he asked me what I record my podcast on and went straight into saying don't record on zoom because of quality. I said I record on Zoom. He then said I should record on (insert one of the MANY podcast recording platforms) and said he would like to set up another call to demo it to me. I interjected MANY times to say I'm not interested. The working title of my book is STOP TALKING 🤣 (it actually is).
Hahahah I LOVE that this is the title of your book Lisa, and you've pretty much just validated the idea with this recent meeting! Yeah, I think used to think "adding value" was sharing all my expertise.. but it's just really all about asking questions, listening, seeing what someone needs before launching in.
I ignore maps every day - the way it wants to take me is littered with stressful waits, merges, aggression. I prefer to take 5 minutes longer and have a lovely smooth drive through the burbs.
The advice is an interesting thought. I just listened to a Simon Sinek podcast ep where he and the guest discuss leaving room for nothing. We're all always "on" - on something, listening to something, talking to something. We're so damn productive!
Leaving a blank space - I like it. I do this sometimes in the car - no radio, no podcast, just me and my mind.
Totally agree when it takes you on a drive that requires a horrific merge, or you to turn right at an intersection where that is actually impossible. I'm with you, some of the time on my long hikes I'll listen to a podcast, then spend the next 2 hours totally unplugged, and it's so calming.
I'm honestly torn. I use Google Maps to navigate me to places I've been to 100 times. I honestly believe 'it knows best'. I don't even ask, "Do I know better?" What else am I handing that control over to in my life? Hmmm.
It's fun to rebel against the GM every now and then. Sometimes, it sends me down a route and I know I won't driving that route, or in order to make a right turn, I'll need to cross over 3 lanes of traffic, so a detour sometimes means not getting there faster, but getting there in a more enjoyable way.
Love this Leanne! 🙌🏽 Always key to listen to your intuition. The challenge is building the confidence to first hear it through the noise and then trust it enough to follow what it’s saying.
One last thing - if a coach is TELLING you what to do, they aren’t actually coaching. 😉
A good coach is there to ask powerful questions to support you in finding your own answers 👌🏾
thank you, Rav! Yes it really is tough to cut out all the noise and really tune in to what resonates the most sometimes, and also remember that we have confirmation bias (i.e. I like to hear advice that confirms what I already think, ha ha, which can also be a little dangerous!)
