More About this Show On Taking Action with Gail Swift
During our interview, I spoke to Gail about what are some techniques that she uses to help kids stick to their self-narrative and look inside themselves, instead of feeling like they have to be part of the mob, social media, or the community, whatever it might be.
Gail Swift explains, “I simply notice their response, or their attitude, after they were on something, listening to something watching something, looking at YouTube, or Instagram or whatever they’re doing. I asked them to pay attention to how they’re feeling. If they want to contribute and give back. Do you feel filled up right now? Are you in a position of contributing?
Because that’s super important to me to raise contributors? Did this help you be a contributor? Does it help you be a respectful person? If the answer is no, then we need to rethink that because we, my husband, and I agreed on three things that we wanted out of our kids before we even had kids. One of them was to be a contributor to the world. And the second one was to have respect for yourself and others. And the third was to have integrity.”
We also talked about how people are so much more effective when they’re basically doing their job in a way that is unique to them and allows them to form in the way that they’re built to perform.
Gail explains, “Everyone is born with a pattern of taking action. That’s what I work with right now. It’s called carnation, the third part of the mind. And what I mean by that statement that I said; is when people know how they take action, it’s their ideal sweet spot. It’s The nirvana of productivity/ I would say, and when I knew that, because I can only speak, I can speak for myself very clearly, when I know that. I fight for it. I don’t regret anything that happens when I go with my natural grain and go with my gut.
When I ignore it or dismiss it, for who I think is a bigger, better person, I start to have potential regrets when I start to do things the way other people do them because I see them having success. And as I’ve gotten older, and realize there’s a filter, I so need to have to sift through the information of all of the other successful people say that I need to do. And if it’s not through my lens, John, it’s not going to work.
That’s what I mean by that phrase; you need to know how you work for me. I need to know how I work. And I need to sift and filter through the information my way, and then I’m most successful.”
