Yes, I have been in Alaska. It was awesome! The picture above can illustrate a very modest slice of it.
In fact, I am still "around". At this very moment, I am at the airport in Vancouver waiting for my flight back to Europe.
I confess that this trip was a "one of a kind" experience. It was my first time on a cruise ship trip (quite awesome I must say) and also in this part of the world.
I saw bears, whales and experienced an intense contact with nature and its power in determining the "rules by which the whole environment and communities" have to live by.
Our guide explained to us that everything, absolutely everything, in this region happen, move by, and are defined by... the glaciers! The way nature is shaped; the fauna and flora it produces, are a consequence and exist because of the glaciers; including the whales.
There is much more to this story which I will be happy to share with you in the near future. However, to me, the greatest lesson learned was that in nature, everything and anything only when in balance with each other. Balance that can be translated to the interaction and interdependence among all living creatures.
Including us!
If we draw a parallel with our relationships as human beings with other human beings, we can easily see how important is 1) to be clear about our own role within the different environments we navigate; 2) to be able to identify our direct and indirect interactions; 3) to define the level of interdependence among us and, 4) to master interpersonal communication; in order to guarantee that everyone involved benefits from the relationships honed in a healthy and balanced environment.
In other words, the base, the foundation, to all of that, to the level of relationships you have, lies in the way you communicate. The way you present yourself and your message to others. Knowing what to say, how to say it and to who is key to the success of any interpersonal interaction and any balanced relationship.
In nature, the lack of balance is a recipe for a disaster. The same applies to us, despite the fact we "keep forgetting it..."
So, let′s not forget it anymore. Let′s get together to work on our communication skills. Come and join me and my team at the launch of the Speak Up & Lead Academy next September 16th and 17th @ the Volkshaus in Zurich.
