Marshall Goldsmith writes about negative self talk in the April issue of Extended DISC® Newsletter, http://www.extendeddisc-na.com/newsletters/pdf-08/Extended_DISC_Newsletter_April_2008.pdf . He makes the point that often the chatter that goes on in our head is often not based in fact but a mish mash of misconceptions – many gleaned from what others have told us over the years.
Where there is a vacuum we will fill it with our own stories. And how unfortunate when those stories come from the opinions of others who may not know us very well and may have their own agendas.
How much more positive to create our own life stories – stories that build on our strengths and if we are in a position to do so – hire to our weaknesses.
Fans of Marshall will love this program. It expands on the points above as well as many other of his tips from his bestselling book
