The word that made me curious
A year ago, someone used the words blind spot to describe something I knew all too well:
making the same mistakes again and again without understanding why. That was what made me join Landmark.
LISETTE
For the past five years, I have read just about every motivational and business book I could get my hands on. I found ideas I liked, but this was the first experience that changed something in my daily life. The difference, for me, is that Landmark is practical. I began to notice patterns while they were happening, and I had a way to respond differently.
One of my blind spots began when I was 10 or 11. I was picked on in Holland for being a little Chinese girl, and I came away believing I did not belong. I carried that belief into my friendships, my family and my work. It followed me through every country I lived in. I had no idea how much it was shaping my life, or how hard it had made me on myself and the people I love.
A great deal of the learning happens through listening. Someone shares a breakdown or a breakthrough, and suddenly you recognise something in your own life. You share your experience, and someone else sees something in theirs. That is how the ideas become useful, through real conversations and the chance to practise them every day.
I wish I had known this 40 years ago. I wish this kind of learning were part of our everyday education.
This Saturday, as part of my candidature to become a Landmark introduction leader, I am leading an introduction from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. I will share my experience, explain some of the basic principles and tell you how the course works. You are welcome to come, listen and decide for yourself whether it interests you.
DM me if positive transformation is important to you.
