Ever wonder how two people can be in same meeting, hear same speaker communicate same message - yet once meeting is over, each person's perception of event is totally different?

Why different perception? How can one individual think meeting was terrific and leave completely inspired and motivated, yet other person walks away believing total opposite?

Answer: "THE CLICK" (More on this in a minute!)

Picture yourself being told that your department is about to undergo a major downsizing. (Not a pretty picture, to be sure.) You are told that an announcement regarding large numbers of layoffs is eminent.

Shortly, you may be out of a job! (gasp!)

Stunned? Sure you are, and choices you make in immediate future may change your life forever.

NOW - is when you need to "CLICK IT" into gear.

Visualize "THE CLICK": Take your right hand and form a backwards "C" with your thumb and fingers. Keeping your hand in backwards "C" position - hold your hand up to your right temple. Next, quickly make a forward snap of wrist as you say out loud, "CLICK".

Did light bulb just go on?

Leaders who understand power of "The Click" - DO NOT become victims of circumstance. Rather, they identify challenges and opportunities which are presented to them at moment - whatever adversity.

We each have ability to choose our outcome. We may not like choices in front of us at time - but at least we have ability to choose our path.

One thing is for certain - doing nothing, ensures failure.

Consider these examples: #1 Losing your job?

Initial Reactions: "Poor me. That's not fair! Those dirty rotten ba...uh.. scoundrels! Why me? My life is over!".. etc, etc.

When we are born we are all authentic, spontenous and creative.Somewhere along lines we lose it. We began to solve problems in ways that people before us solved them. Our education tends in this direction. Typically, we think on basis of similar problems encountered in past. When we are confronted with a challenge we tend to think how did I solve this last time? Then we go in a fixed line to solve it without considering new ways we may solve this problem. Once we think we know how to solve a challenge we tend to stick to trying to solve each challenge in this way until proven wrong. Now creative people don't go about solving challenges this way they look for all ways one might solve a challenge not throwing out any of them until they know they don't work.
