“When you’re working in a high-hazard industry,” she says, “if you go into a work situation, and there’s something coming at you that makes you feel funny - an almost imperceptible smell, a feeling, in an explosive factory it could be a change in humidity - just some change that you sense, rather than see, don’t ignore it. If you get a gut feeling something isn’t right, pay attention to that, act on that. Intuition can be honed by just practicing and noticing.”

CHANGE PROFICIENCY

“We help companies move forward and innovate in a time of perpetual change; TOP-SET® is specifically a thinking system, a key to investigating accidents, to solving that particular type of problem. But companies often ask us to assist them in thinking their way through other issues, to help them create, and to innovate.” Lorna says. “We’ve found when a company is honestly investigating an incident, and regulatory bodies are aware of that, then they’re less likely to prosecute. The most important thing, though, is that employees feel valued and cared about when such attention is paid to their safety. And it works. It’s now safer to be on an oil rig than in your own home.”

A practical application for emotional intelligence with many positive outcomes.

If your loving Adult is in charge of remote control, then your inner TV is off. Your mind is not coming up with a pre-recorded video. Instead, you are opening to learning about what is in your highest good in this particular situation and asking Spirit for guidance. Is it best to just present situation and ask for help or feedback with an intent to learn? Is it best to state situation and state what you plan on doing to take care of yourself? Is it best to try to work it out with other employee and not go to your boss at all? When your Adult is in charge, you are relying on Spirit rather than on your own mind to determine action that is in your highest good.

If you do speak with your boss or with other employee, who is in charge? Does your wounded self take over out of fear, or are you loving yourself enough to show up as a loving Adult connected with your Guidance?

Some of us find ourselves connecting with our Guidance just fine when we are meditating, dialoguing, creating, working with others in a supportive capacity. It’s very easy for me to stay connected with Guidance when I’m working with clients or conducting an intensive. I couldn’t work any other way because my mind doesn’t know answers regarding how to help others, but Spirit does. Spirit comes through moment my intent is to be helpful. The challenge comes in when it’s just about taking care of myself with myself and within my personal relationships. That’s when my wounded self wants to grab remote control. She thinks she can figure things out to control outcome with people and events. She thinks she’s so smart, and she wants to create scenarios in order to control. I find I need to be vigilant in terms of who is in charge of remote control. The minute my wounded self grabs it and clicks on control channel, my joy is gone. The moment I surrender and allow Spirit to guide me, my inner TV is off and my joy is back. To me, that’s a great motivator, since I love being in joy!

So, is your inner TV on? If so, what program is on? Who has remote - your wounded self or your loving Adult? You might want to start to notice this. The rewards of switching off your inner TV are really great!
