”Speaking both from extensive observation and personal experience, an idea no matter how profound, in-depth, or radical, is seldom a worthwhile idea when postulated and promoted in the vacuum of a single human mind. Not until the idea meets and endures the rigors of many minds will it be trustworthy. Conversation requires consideration. Consideration requires concern. Speaking in the terms of the other persons interest is the most sure way for your ideas to be considered in conversation often enough to become trustworthy.” J Loren Norris DO YOU SPEAK IN THE TERMS OF THE OTHER PERSONS INTEREST?
”Speaking both from extensive observation and personal experience, an idea no matter how profound, in-depth, or radical, is seldom a worthwhile idea when postulated and promoted in the vacuum of a single human mind. Not until the idea meets and endures the rigors of many minds will it be trustworthy. Conversation requires consideration. Consideration requires concern. Speaking in the terms of the other persons interest is the most sure way for your ideas to be considered in conversation often enough to become trustworthy.” J Loren Norris BROW BEATING AND OTHER MANIPULATION To espouse an idea worthy of consideration is an honorable thing. To share that idea with others for the betterment of self, society and especially the idea is also an honorable thing. To propose and promote an idea which is unproven, untested, or known to be untrue with the force of certainty and the persistent, unrelenting pressure of persuasion is cruel manipulation. To repeat something as fact which you question to be true is a flaw in character, a lack of integrity. To repeat something you know to be untrue, fabricated, malicious or salacious is corrupt at best, evil at worst. LET OTHERS EXPOSE THEIR RICH THINKING OR LACK THERE OF Most people who share ideas they have heard from unreliable sources do so because they have none of their own. Their own ideas are sparse and flimsy. Their limited exposure, limited research, minuscule understanding and selfish leanings drive their ideas to be myopic in scope and purpose. BY LISTENING, a fool becomes wise. BY LISTENING, you have the opportunity to perceive the secrets of the thinkers who motivate, inspire and inform those you are in conversation with. BY LISTENING you have the upper hand. It won’t be long before they come to the end of the thoughts they are comfortable regurgitating and fall back on their own ignorance. When next you speak, you will know all that concerns them, who they trust as credible sources, what ideas they fancy themselves to hold and a fair amount of what they believe to be true and right in the world. NOW YOU ARE READY TO HAVE A CONSIDERATE CONVERSATION Time to present your ideas. Sharing what you have been pondering, in terms of all they have expressed interest in, will allow them to observe and absorb your brilliant ideas in context. Your analogies, your research, your opinions should now take on the flavor of their circumstances. Your proposed solutions, grand resolutions and better way of approving the issues should carry significant weight in their mind. The theories you wish for them to adopt should now be palpable and significant. Not because your ideas were grand and powerful from the get go, but because now they are also RELEVANT to the listener. Your ideas, positioned for their situation hold more value to them, than your ideas well presented and oft repeated. Make note: The propagandist seldom uses this approach. They generally tell you what you need to think then repeat it frequently and vehemently until you think it, feel it, believe it and repeat it as well. Good leaders listen first.

Insuperable Vision Workshop - Audio Download with worksheets Day after day I meet people who are struggling just to make ends meet. They are adrift in this vast sea of humanity holding on to their job, their family, their home, and their car with all they've got. They see their life experiences and education as the last hope to find their purpose and identity. They gather, fill and stuff all the money they can into every opportune investment. Yet they are empty, frustrated, angry and just plain fed up. We have all experienced that moment; when we find yourself stuck in traffic, yelling at random strangers to do what they wish they could... but can't... GO! The idea that life can be better than it is today is like the flame of a candle fighting for all its worth to stand against the tempest. We all want a better life. Even when life is good, we want more. That idea, that flame, is the hope that lives in the hearts and minds of all of us. Should that flame be extinguished, hope itself may well go with it. It is the rut of hopelessness that traps many would be shining stars and buries that glow from the sight of the world. It is the rut of hopelessness that extinguishes that flame. Lives that would have been a beacon to the wandering are lost at sea themselves. Inspirations of success that would have been the voices crying out to all who suffer are hidden away in their own stale lives, they cannot share who they are or what the world needs from them. It is my passion to help you find your purpose. I want to see you become successful, but more than that to be free! Without vision people perish. Without vision, we seem to be lost, mind numb robots following the herd into the abyss that is everyday life. We do not live intentionally without a vision for our future. We do not live passionately without a vision for our future. We do not live productively without a vision for our future. We certainly cannot lead without a vision for our future and a vision for the future of those we lead. This audio course will inspire and instruct you to create a vision which will become a significant driving force in your life. Author
