session?

Foremost it was an eyeopener on how I should have approached the pre-work. As I explained via
email to G & K, giving the pre-work multiple shots was great at first but proved to be
counterproductive.
I thought the "repartees" were fantastic to watch, lot of observations about myself and how I would
have approached the questions and the many options I would have gone through before I had a
"momental" epiphany. As much as I wish I was diligent enough to get picked, the entire piece gave
me the space to think about the questions and segue into the breakout session. It seemed to my
audience that I had a lot of clarity, when in reality I had to eliminate a bunch of options to narrow
down to what I would "be able to" ;)
I can go at length, but I think it helped me understand the purpose of the pre-work, take listening
more seriously and helped set the context of what to expect from myself.

Stillwater definition of Honesty

Honestly looking at the situation as it is, allows us to make better decisions

Communicating with Honesty makes it more likely that people will connect with us, trust us,
and be inspired by us.

But what is Honesty?

The video explains the Stillwater definition of the word.

Honesty

Honesty is important according to the video because

It allows us to take stock of the situation so we can respond appropriately without

over-reacting or underreacting

We won't feel guilty

People will always believe us

We don't have to try to remember what we said to whom

It is the best policy

things outside our control

hard to accept

something we have to accept

Feedback:
There are no 'have to's in the program. If we accept reality we are more likely to make
better decisions, that are grounded in reality. But the disadvantage is that accepting real‐
ity may lead to cognitive discomfort if the reality conflicts heavily with our existing be‐
liefs. We always have a choice and there are no 'have to's. However we believe that the
advantages of accepting reality outweigh the disadvantages.

It can lead to misunderstanding in communication

We might not see options that might be available to us

anyone who sees it differently must be wrong

If you had to give a score (out of 100) for how your life is going at this
moment what score would you give it?

A score of 100 means that every area of your life is exactly the way you
want it to be going forward.
A score of 0 means that nothing in your life is the way you want it to be
A score of 50 means that half the things in your life are on track and half the
things are not.

In the live sessions, the trainers will refer to this as your 'Game of Life
score'.

It is completely self-assessed and subjective, based on your own standards

and is not comparable to the scores that other people would give to their
own lives since of course, we all have completely different standards. *

Did you have breakout rooms in your previous live session *

Yes

03/05/2024, 08:49 Honesty

No

This section is only applicable if you had breakout rooms in

your previous session

Breakout rooms can be very challenging environments since they activate a lot of our primal
fears

- the fear of not being respected (I might say something dumb)

- the fear of not being liked (people might think I'm being too intrusive)
- the fear of uncertainty (am I doing it right?)
- the fear of disappointment (this is so uncomfortable and hard.. is it worth it?)

26

What were the behaviours you noticed yourself displaying in the breakout
room exercises?

(both effective and ineffective)

I wanted to go first!
I noticed a high level of clarity in communicating my responses to the questions G had given. While
I was not being 100% honest as these responses were tailored in the course of the session, after
striking out a bunch of options. I also felt good when there was validation from the gang, and I felt
there was a sense of direction, if not clarity!

27

What leadership behaviours would you like to commit to yourself to

practicing with your team mates in the next breakout room exercise?

Go first, get my hands dirty.

Honesty, ahem, is the best policy (haven't heard that phrase in a long while!)
Listen without reacting
Work towards the objective with focus on time and results
