One Apple A Day #815 - external disruptor
Yesterday I learned about this idea from Marcia Reynolds, one of the most amazing coaches I know.
The external distruptor.
She says that "we don't change well on our own." We are trapped inside an invisible web of thinking patterns, beliefs and stories that limit our ability to see beyond. And because we can't see this web, we can't get through it, and we run in circles, stuck where we are.
To see this net and rip off its wires, an external disruption is needed; something or someone outside our head that disrupts our thinking patterns, challenges our stories and prompt us to wonder why we think the way we do.
In his book, Liminal Thinking, Dave Gray wrote that "if you're part of the system you want to change, you're part of the problem."
That is true also when the system is me.
To change my system, an external disruptor is needed.
Being an external disruptor for others.
That is who I love to be.
That is what I like to do.
