I wanted to explore the defensiveness trap as it’s I’ve been working on recently. When I get defensive, it’s often a sudden heat, a need to justify, or a rush to prove I’m right. When I can catch that, I pause, take a breath, and get curious. What’s really behind this reaction? Where is this coming from? My strategies now are to ground myself, lean on a trusted connection, and return to self-awareness. Growth really starts with noticing these moments. So how do you know when you are reacting from that place & what are you management strategies?

It's been a couple weeks since deploying Skool. What are you finding? Using? Enjoying? Not enjoying? And more importantly- what do you want to see? What are you struggling with? Already got a fun piece of feedback from Lachie M- "I've been playing with my coffee machine at home and pulling better shots of coffee thanks to the coffee classroom". Sometimes the wins aren't always what we expect 😅

Hi team, I'm doing some reading, listening and research on how we cope, process and learn when we make mistakes - this is really from a medical/clinical place to provide support and education to mine site medics, but I wanted to open it up and ask others about this from different perspectives - what do you do when you make a mistake? How do you recover and what is your process and your next steps?

Something that’s interested me lately is the concept of ‘fundamental attribution error’. It’s when we blame the ‘failings’ of others on their personality, but we blame the ‘failings’ of ourselves on the context of our situations. For example, imagine someone cuts you off while on the road. Your first instinct may be to assume they have an arrogant, inconsiderate personality. But what if you cut another person off while on the road? You might justify it because of situational reasons, e.g. you were unfamiliar with the suburb. My question to you is: Have you experienced the fundamental attribution error - in the gym or out of the gym?
