EMOTIONS DRIVE PEOPLE, PEOPLE DRIVE PROCESS, PROCESSES DRIVE PERFORMANCE.

So understanding emotions is key, and understanding yourself is the first step. Here are 4 ‘vital strands’ to practising mindfulness:

Awareness
Experience
Present Moment
Non-Judgemental

Only then can you really listen to other people's stories and understand what drives them:

Trust that everything you need is right in front of you
Be fully present to what IS without judgement
Speak only when you can improve on silence
Focus on generating experiences not explanations
Work directly with the narrative elements in the field
Stand at the threshold when a new story is emerging

If you listen you may be able to guide through the 4 stages or narrative coaching:

Situate
Search
Shift
Sustain
