What would the world look like if we began teaching children about their unique talents and ways of being that can better the world? How would helping people discover their purpose at a very young age, and then choose careers to live it through, increase well-being, productivity, and even peace in the world? In this episode, we talk with Founder and Chief Shineologist Dr. Claudia Been about this very work she is doing through the House of Shine to help more people be their best and help bring it out of everyone they touch.
1
00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:09.720
What's working on purpose anyway? Each
week we ponder the answer to this question.
2
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:15.000
People ache for meaning and purpose at
work, to contribute their talents passionately
3
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:19.839
and know their lives really matter.
They crave being part of an organization that
4
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:25.120
inspires them and helps them grow into
realizing their highest potential. Business can be
5
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:29.679
such a force for good in the
world, elevating humanity. In our program,
6
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.840
we provide guidance and inspiration to help
usher in this world we all want
7
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:39.320
working on purpose. Now. Here
is your host, doctor Elise Cortes.

21
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.920
the energy and passion of others,
and after successful career in higher education,
22
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.640
she left her role to start House
of Shine, a nonprofit that helps people
23
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.760
discover what makes them unique and how
to leverage their shine for the good of
24
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.439
their community. We'll be talking about
how she came to conceptualize and create this

Working on Purpose. Thanks so much,
28
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:08.960
Elise. It's so happy to be
here. Isn't it great to be
29
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:14.080
on the other side of the mic? It is. It's a lot of
30
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.000
fun to think about just answering questions
as opposed to crafting them and then yes,
31
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.879
now I know. And you're in
your office, which, of course
32
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.439
I have had the extreme delight pressure
pleasure just to come and see your museum.
33
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.360
They're in Great Vine, Texas,
just outside of Dallas, and I'm
34
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.240
seeing your office from the inside.
It's beautiful and colorful, alive and energetic,
35
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.680
and I'm happy that you're joining from
your own I can see your podcast
36
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.120
mic as well. So thrilled to
have you and share you with listeners across
37
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.560
the globe. Absolutely well. So
again, so glad to be here.
38
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.439
So I want to get right into
how you crafted this thing. You did
39
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:52.639
something that I don't think I've ever
heard anybody really really share and articulate the
40
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.159
way that you had about how you
really got the idea to start House of
41
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.960
Shine. You did three things every
day for months or maybe even a year
42
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.479
or tell us, I know what
they are. But people who haven't read
43
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.280
your book yet, which is this, by the way, look at this
44
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.479
fantastic book. It's so happy.
What's your shine? Oh my gosh,
45
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.800
it's so great. So for those
who haven't read it yet, what were
46
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.000
those three things that you did?
And for how long did you do them?
47
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.759
Yeah? So I first of all, let me talk a little bit
48
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.400
about one of my favorite words,
which is margin. I think a lot
49
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:28.199
of magic can happen in our lives
when we give ourselves margin. And if
50
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.240
you know my life is anything like
yours, I feel as though that's one
51
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.879
of the hardest things to come by. And so I had a point in
52
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.360
my life where I moved from one
city to another and I was between jobs.
53
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.639
And so for the first time in
really my adult life, I found
54
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.840
myself with again what I will refer
to as a little bit of margin in
55
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:52.000
my day. And so I began
walking. During that time, over my
56
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.080
lunch hour, I would take a
walk that amounted to about an hour and
57
00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:00.000
fifteen minutes. And it's funny when
I think about it now, but really
58
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.479
my only I didn't They didn't start
out as rules. But what I came
59
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.199
to realize is what I valued so
much about that daily walk is that I
60
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:11.280
would do it alone. Number one, and I would listen to nothing,
61
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.920
So I had no form of music
and I would always go alone. So
62
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:19.040
I was alone, I didn't listen
to anything, and I would always take
63
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:25.399
the same route. And what that
allowed me to do is it really muscle
64
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.839
memory allowed my kind of just body
to take over, and then I would
65
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:31.800
just take this very long walk and
my mind would wander and I would begin
66
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:36.120
to think, and I'd have all
sorts of ideas. And so really what
67
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:45.000
I did for many many years is
walk, journal and then through the journaling,
68
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.720
really identify themes in what it was
that I was thinking about. And
69
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.040
so you know, to your point, the blog that I started and then
70
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:57.519
wrote every day for six and a
half years started on my walks. I
71
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.000
would take a daily walk, my
mind would begin to want, ideas would
72
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.759
percolate. I would come home,
I would write a blog post. And
73
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:09.279
after doing that year after year after
year for so many years, what I
74
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:15.079
realized is that heavy themes were beginning
to emerge from my writings. And when
75
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.639
I began to think about what those
themes were really embedded in them was the
76
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:23.800
very beginning of what is now today
the House of Shine. So in answer
77
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.920
to your question, again, it
was I walked, I journaled, and
78
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.480
I looked, and eventually I realized
and looked for themes and what it was
79
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:38.519
that I was writing about and thinking
about. So this beautiful thing that you
80
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.399
have birthed, this House of Shine, it's a non proper organization, and
81
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.240
it's built on the premise that there
are contributions inside every person just waiting to
82
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.160
be made, irresistible ways of using
our talents and gifts that make us feel
83
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:53.399
as motivated as you did while researching
your blog post at your kitchen table.
84
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.439
Wow, what a thing to bring
in the world. Was such love and
85
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.079
with such a foundation. I as
you know, I'm a fan, and
86
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.279
when I came into your museum,
I felt like you made it for me.
87
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.879
Well, thank you, I appreciate
that. You know. What I
88
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:10.759
love about our space is I do
say it is a museum, but what
89
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:15.000
we You know, most museums you
go to and you expect to see masterpieces
90
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.920
of some sort, and I feel
like ours is no exception. Only really,
91
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:23.439
our space is really designed to help
you see, if you will,
92
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.639
kind of the masterpiece that you are. Your uniqueness is your talents. It's
93
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.879
really all about self exploration with the
hope of learning more about yourself. The
94
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.079
more selful where we are, the
more successful we can be. And what
95
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.959
a fantastic way to turn things around. And just let me let me give
96
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:43.839
you a sort of interesting if to
metaphor. I'm not sure, but I
97
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.040
remember when I watched the Monsters,
Inc. Movie and I thought it was
98
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.920
so delightful that the monsters were afraid
of the children. Right, So you've
99
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.160
kind of turned things around too.
Instead of the museum being an expos of
100
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.519
something else, which is again that
exterior thing that you talk about in your
101
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.279
book, you made it about us, the individual who's coming inside of that
102
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.800
place. And I think that's brilliant. Yeah, it's it's really I think
103
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:13.639
I say frequently that quiet and time
for reflection has become the hottest commodity that
104
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:18.639
we can possibly that exists right now. There is noise in every form coming
105
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:24.720
at us all of the time,
whether that's literal noise by virtue of the
106
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:29.600
car radio or the background TV or
the bringing of our cell phone, or
107
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.920
whether it's more visual noise in terms
of you know, the papers stacked on
108
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.160
our desk or the mail that we
come home to at night, or you
109
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:43.560
know, whatever that is. And
so this we need places to come that
110
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:48.360
are invitations, if you will,
to stop and reflect on our lives and
111
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.600
who we are and whether or not
the life we're living is in alignment with,
112
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.879
you know, the life that we
imagine for ourselves. M Yeah,
113
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.399
A couple of things on that if
I can so, which is my normal
114
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:03.120
practice. I do meditate twice a
day. I meditated just before we came
115
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.000
on air and came into that nice, beautiful place that's quiet and still.
116
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.199
For me, that's so necessary.
So yes, going into inquiry for ourselves
117
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.079
is so important. And what I
love about your work is not only have
118
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.920
you created a museum that brings us
into that place to invite us, but
119
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.560
you've created a whole curriculum, which
we're going to talk more about. And
120
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.519
all these great tools like these fifty
two cards that I picked up when I
121
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.560
was there, and these are if
you correct me, if I'm wrong,
122
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.080
if I make it right, whatever
I don't get right. These are action
123
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.320
words that you suggest that we pull
that one a week and we just focus
124
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.519
on and see what magic habits.
Is that right? Yeah, that's exactly,
125
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.759
and you know really that is so
it's called do fifty two. And
126
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.000
there are fifty two if you will
sticks that we will say each one as
127
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.519
you noted, at least with a
verb on it. And the idea is
128
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:56.360
that you invite that verb into your
week and you let it. I always
129
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.600
say that when you let that verb
sit with you for the week will speak
130
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.519
to your heart and it will actually
tell you what you need to do in
131
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.720
order to, as I say,
shine a little bit brighter. But this
132
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:13.039
tool really is an accountability tool.
It really is about knowing what you need
133
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.360
in order to be your best self
and then drawing that verb out each week
134
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:24.480
and letting it guide you as to
what you can do in order to again
135
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.279
live your best life. And so, what was your verb that you find?
136
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.519
My verb this week is pump,
pump, and so it did pumping
137
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.679
up the volume. I'm I'm doing
all kinds of things with pump. Okay.
138
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.440
I love that. And I always
say, sometimes what you need to
139
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.799
do with it will come to you
immediately. And sometimes you will look at
140
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.519
that verb and it might not even
speak to you that week. Sometimes what
141
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.279
I do is, if it doesn't
speak to me one week, I'll join
142
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.440
that verb with the verb from the
for the next week. Right. It
143
00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:01.000
almost is a real clarifier. So
I love that. My verb this week
144
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.320
is to is recognize, So you
know what's interesting about that? And just
145
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.720
to give a little bit of an
example, is one thing I know in
146
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:16.840
my calendar, I have a column
labeled follow up, and I make notes
147
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.679
each week of people that I need
to follow up with for various reasons.
148
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.919
And this week, when I drew
that verb, I knew kind of immediately
149
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:31.639
that I wanted to use that use
the verb this week to stop and to
150
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:37.559
write handwritten notes to a collection of
people who they're just long overdue. But
151
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.519
it's one of those things again that
life gets busy and we put it on
152
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.679
the back burner and then one day
turns into two and then three, and
153
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.840
then a week and a month and
a year, and it can get away
154
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.919
from us. So do fifty two
for me just really works as a great
155
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.080
accountability tool between me and me.
Beautiful. That was such a better rendition
156
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.279
than what I came up with,
so I knew you would take it home
157
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.840
for us. Okay, well,
let's talk about really the whole premise of
158
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.840
what you've created here. And I
really really appreciate how tight and beautiful your
159
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:13.000
curriculum is, and having been there
with my eighteen year old daughter who loved
160
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.279
it as well. So you encourage
people to record information about their shine,
161
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.720
which is Shinness is an acronym that
stands for strengths, hobbies, interests or
162
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.720
irritance, needs and life experiences,
and that you ask them to put them
163
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.440
into a dedicated journal to synthesize information, to draw conclusions from it about the
164
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.879
work they would most enjoy, among
other things. Could you say a little
165
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:39.960
bit more about really what you're what
that exercise is designed to do for people?
166
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:45.919
Right, So the curriculum that we
write, let me start off by
167
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:52.320
saying that the curriculum that we write
is one hundred percent developed in an effort
168
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.639
to help unearth or if you will, yes, unearthed things about yourself.
169
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.799
So it's really all self awareness,
self exploration based. That is the entire,
170
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.320
if you will, purpose of every
module that we write. So this
171
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:13.320
notion of learning things about yourself and
then recording what it is that you're learning
172
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.600
about yourself is really the concept,
if you will, behind it is.
173
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.840
I like to equate it a little
bit to the to dendrology, which is
174
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:26.840
the study of trees. And interestingly
enough, inside are our journals that we
175
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:31.600
kind of create for in house,
we have a whole little explanation of dendrology,
176
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.720
and we talk about the fact that
if you look at the trunk of
177
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.360
a tree, you can see the
rings in the tree, and you can
178
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.320
learn a lot about the life of
a tree. By looking at its trunk,
179
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.120
at the rings, you can tell
whether or not it's been through a
180
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.480
fire, or whether it's been through
a drought, or whether it's been through
181
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.399
you know, an excess of rain
and water. And so I like to
182
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.960
say the same thing about journals.
For me personally, I start a new
183
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:05.080
one each year on a particular day, and I view that journal as almost
184
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.960
a ring in a tree. So
inside the pages of that journal is kind
185
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.200
of an account of my year and
of what I was dreaming about and what
186
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.480
I was thinking about and brainstorming,
and I and post, you know,
187
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.240
maybe somebody else's blog posts that really
caught my attention for some reason, or
188
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.480
a quote that I saw. So
there's no real rhyme or reason to what
189
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.559
I put inside the pages of mine. And that's important, right, that
190
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.080
it's a little bit uncensored, a
little bit unplugged, because really the magic
191
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.320
comes not in my having done it
once for one year or even a single
192
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:46.480
entry. The real magic comes when
you take three, five, ten,
193
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.919
fifteen, twenty years worth of journals
and you line them up, and you
194
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.320
begin to look at them, and
you see the common themes that continue to
195
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.399
emerge. I will say, when
I go back over my you know,
196
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:03.480
fourteen year's worth of journals, I
am watching through the pages of my journal.
197
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:09.080
I'm literally watching the house of shine
emerge off the pages, beginning with
198
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.840
literally just nuggets of ideas, seeds
that look like nothing in the beginning,
199
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:22.600
but really then manifest. And part
of the process is stop A, stopping
200
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:28.000
to reflect something we've already talked about, and then B just jotting notes,
201
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.080
simple short notes about what's going on
in your head, knowing that later on
202
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.200
you're going to look back and you're
going to be able to make some connections
203
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:43.000
and connect dots that otherwise might seem
like disparate pieces of information but yet are
204
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.919
quite valuable. I want to just
add a parallel to that, and that
205
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.120
I also do journal as well,
and actually I work on three different journals
206
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.039
at any one time. But one
thing that I have noticed though, that's
207
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.639
quite interesting for me, is that
if you look at the six years that
208
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.639
I've been hosting Working on Purpose,
and I think your number three under and
209
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.720
twenty for episode, if you look
at the titles of all those and the
210
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:05.840
content of of those, what you
will actually notice is the unfoldment of my
211
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:11.200
consciousness and it is me coming into
being. And now you know, the
212
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.799
first book that I wrote, which
i'll talk more about after one of the
213
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:18.039
Briggs, really is an expression of
that enfoldment. And so it's just what
214
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.679
you're talking about, except it is
in a written form, a curated form,
215
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.200
and it does align with my journals
as well, by the way.
216
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.799
Yeah, see that's so interesting.
And I mean, I think you know,
217
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.279
you're a writer. You've written books. I've written books, and I
218
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.879
think it would be easy for people
to kind of dismiss this and say,
219
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:35.279
Okay, that's great if you're a
writer, but I'm not a writer.
220
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.039
But I mean, you know,
of course we can look at some of
221
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.559
Leonardo da Vinci and all, you
know, famous people from history and say,
222
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.919
look like there's something to be said
for recording the thoughts and the ideas
223
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.200
that are running through your mind because
you actually just don't really know how they
224
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:54.159
add up and how they will connect
up later. So it's a treasure,
225
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.679
don't you think it is a treasure, and that there is power in the
226
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:00.000
declaration of it. That's what I
tell my clients, says, well,
227
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.840
there's power and declaring this stuff.
So I just am such a fan of
228
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.919
what you're doing. In After the
Rick, we're going to talk more about
229
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:08.799
your actual model. So with that, let's grub our first break. I'm
230
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.840
Elise Cortez, your host. We're
on the earth doctor Claudiabini, who's the
231
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.279
founder and executive director of the House
of Shine. We've been talking a bit
232
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.840
about just how this beautiful concept came
to be and what is her heart and
233
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:22.399
soul in that. After the Rick, we're going to get into the model
234
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.399
and how it works. Stay with
us, We'll be right back. Doctor

now back to working on Purpose. Thanks
243
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:29.440
for staying with us and welcome back
to working on Purpose. As I've watched
244
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:33.200
the pandemic continue to go on,
We've looked for ways to help companies support
245
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.039
their employees handle their anxiety, stress
suppression, and feeling disconnected, while also
246
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.160
helping to live and inspire them with
ongoing professional development. So we now offer
247
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.160
a wellbeing learning series called Grab Your
Gusto Vital Wellbeing from the inside Out.
248
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.720
You can learn more about it at
eleasecoretest dot com or send me an email
249
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.319
to elase at least cooret test dot
com and I'll tell you about it give
250
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:53.960
you a demonstration if you're just joining
the program. My guest is doctor Claudia
251
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:57.440
Binie, who has spent more than
thirty years working in education, igniting the
252
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.960
energy and passion of others, and
after a successful career in higher education,
253
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.799
she left her role to start House
of Shine, a nonprofit that helps people
254
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:07.759
discover what makes them unique and how
to leverage their shine for the good of
255
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:11.680
the community. She joined it any
from Dallas, Texas. I'm your host,
256
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:17.440
doctor Relie Cortes, so Qaudia.
Before we get into the actual model
257
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:19.240
itself. Here one thing that I
do want to get more into because I
258
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:22.400
think this is really importantly. You
talk about it in your book, and
259
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.319
you know that I'm a geek that
reads the book cover to cover, so
260
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.200
of course I know where the page
came from, et cetera. But you
261
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:33.039
say in your book growing up,
our education in school and life largely focuses
262
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.599
on things outside of ourselves. Yet
it is self inquiry that nets the greatest
263
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.400
gains in terms of happiness, satisfaction, and meaningful contributions to the world,
264
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.799
which you've said before. But then
you go on to say, we also
265
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.960
don't learn to practice self inquiry for
self knowledge in the workplace, resulting in
266
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.759
dissatisfied employers and workers who keep searching
externally for the kind of harmony that most
267
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.559
often comes from within. To say
more about that, it's just stunning.
268
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:00.039
Yeah, well, I mean it's
all about, really, at the end
269
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.440
of the day, it is all
about having an internal locus of control and
270
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:08.920
not looking to our workplace, to
our boss, to our colleagues, to
271
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:15.759
policies and procedures for you know,
to explain why we're discontent and why we
272
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.960
aren't happy in our workplace. At
the end of the day, it is
273
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.759
really all about having a sense of
agency, and I am a firm believer
274
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:29.119
that agency comes from knowing who you
are. That really at the very very
275
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:33.039
base of everything is what do I
know about myself? And what actions can
276
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.559
I take? What decisions can I
make, and how confident am I about
277
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.240
them? Based again on who I
what I know, what I know about
278
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:45.519
myself. So I can see,
you know, just in my own life,
279
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:51.640
how the more I come to know
about myself, the more measured my
280
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:56.720
decisions are, the more I guess, you know, reasonable my reactions to
281
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:03.039
uh, less than perfect circumstances are. So again, it's just one of
282
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.559
these things where the more I know, the better able I am to respond
283
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:12.000
in a thoughtful kind of measured if
you will weigh m hmm. Yeah.
284
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.599
I was just working with a team
today that I just started working with a
285
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.039
couple of months ago, and we
were talking about just how the as you
286
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:23.039
said kind of allude to before,
the speed of life just really removes their
287
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:26.720
connection to their own vital heartbeats,
so they really don't know why they're doing
288
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.039
what they're doing, and therefore,
of course, to your point, aren't
289
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:32.880
really able to get satisfaction fulfillment from
it because they don't even know why they're
290
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:36.759
doing it. So working and getting
closer to that heartbeat. So one of
291
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:38.839
the things I love about your model, Shine, is that you really do
292
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:41.559
help people do that. And I
want to take us through that model now
293
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.440
and so our listeners get to get
better access. So, as I said
294
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:49.160
before, it's an acronym, So
the S is for strengths. Say more
295
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.279
about your perspective on strengths. You
know, I'm a Gallop certified Strengths coach,
296
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:56.680
so I'm all over it already,
but your perspective and in it with
297
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.079
the model. Yeah. So I
mean, first of all, I'm a
298
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.240
big strengths fan. I am as
well, and we have you know,
299
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.240
we're big strengths folks here at the
House of Shine. But you know,
300
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.440
at the end of the day,
as much of a fan as I am
301
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:12.400
of strengths, I will say,
I will tell anyone it's that is not
302
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:15.759
the only tool that we can use
to actually drive at this. But really,
303
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:21.640
at the end of the day,
the essence of what makes strengths work
304
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:26.279
in my mind is that when first
of all, when we are operating from
305
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.759
a place of our strengths. We
have what I like to see say,
306
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:33.799
is almost kind of, you know, an endless well of energy. When
307
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.160
I'm caught in the act of doing
something that I'm good at and that I
308
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.720
enjoy doing and that I get accolades
for because I'm good at it, it
309
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.240
only makes me want to do it
more, right, I mean, that's
310
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:49.359
just makes sense. So the Strengths
movement, as I'm sure you've talked about
311
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:53.720
on your show before, is really
all about helping people find out they're innate
312
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:59.680
ways of thinking, feeling, and
behaving. And so our curriculum is designed
313
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.319
to do that, right, It's
designed to help people identify their innate patterns
314
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.200
in the ways they think, feel
and behave things that come naturally to them.
315
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.000
But then we say, in addition
to that, in addition to understanding
316
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.480
your strengths, there are other things
that we want to know about you,
317
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:21.880
because I always like to say that
this is the backdrop against which all against
318
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:25.920
what you live like, right,
So, yes, what are your strengths.
319
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.839
But then in addition to what are
your strengths, I want to know
320
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.279
what are your hobbies? How do
you like to spend your time? You
321
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:36.799
know? And then I mean I
guess we can go into each of these
322
00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:38.039
with a little bit more. Please
do it. Yeah, it'd be great.
323
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:41.720
Yeah. So so strengths again,
we've already talked about that. Well,
324
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:47.119
let's talk hobbies. So it's very
easy to say, you know,
325
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:52.440
well, what difference could hobbies possibly
make in understanding what it is that someone's
326
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:55.359
shine is or what it is that
makes them unique. And what I always
327
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:57.119
like to say is, there are
only one hundred and sixty eight hours in
328
00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:00.519
a week, and so we're making
choice is all the time about how we
329
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:04.759
spend our time, and the way
that we choose to spend our time can
330
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:10.000
be quite revealing in terms of,
you know, where our natural inclinations go.
331
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:14.359
So we even do an exercise with
kids as young as the second grade
332
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:18.880
where we have them fill a shoebox
with items that reflect their hobbies, how
333
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.960
they've done their free time. And
then again as young as second grade,
334
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:27.680
these young people know, they know
what it is that they enjoy, and
335
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:32.720
so they'll bring in their shoebox with
five or six, maybe seven items and
336
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:37.960
then sit in diads or triads and
look at the items and try to identify
337
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:41.519
common themes and what's really interesting about
it is. For instance, you know,
338
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.720
if I were to do that,
the things, the kinds of things
339
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:49.039
that I would put in my shoebox
would be, you know, probably my
340
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:55.119
journal, probably a book or a
bookmark, Probably my colored pens because I
341
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:59.279
just think more creatively in color.
I'd probably put a shoelace because I do
342
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.279
love to take one walks. But
you know, those are just a handful
343
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.839
of the items that I might put
in mind. And what I like to
344
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:10.920
say is that's fine information if you're
if you want to kind of know what
345
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:15.039
to buy me for my birthday.
But really where it becomes magical, where
346
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:19.599
it really becomes magical is when we
go past the what my hobbies are to
347
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:23.880
really look at what my hobbies have
in common. What is it? What
348
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.599
is the common thread that holds them
together? Because when we look at that,
349
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:30.920
then we can say, okay,
I'm going to learn an additional piece
350
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:36.799
of information. So for me,
all of mine are items really that allow
351
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:41.960
me to be a and quiet and
probably be really actually reflective, which is
352
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.519
very true about me and who I
am. I am a more of a
353
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:49.799
quiet person who spends a lot of
time in her head, and so my
354
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.440
hobbies are a reflection of that.
You know, Just to give one more
355
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:59.640
example, I think that you know
my son, even as a young kid,
356
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.559
when he was in the second grade, and he did this activity interestingly
357
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:06.440
enough, when he opened his shoe
box and then had to look for what
358
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:10.680
the common themes were. He put
in a lego and a paper airplane.
359
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:15.319
He put in a mattery because he
made pottery. I can't remember every item,
360
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:21.279
but what he realized on his own
was that everything in his shoe box
361
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:26.759
was something that allowed him to use
his hands. It gives me goosebumps,
362
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:32.559
right, because here's why that's so
important. Right, So, in the
363
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:41.160
second grade, if a young person
can self identify that they lean towards things
364
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:47.319
hobbies that allow them to use their
hand hands, it just it helps them
365
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:51.680
see who they are and they can
then make decisions moving forward. So you
366
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:55.240
know, I can give you additional
examples of how this had played out even
367
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:57.799
in just our house. But the
truth of the matter is now, at
368
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:03.039
fourteen years old, it is very
true Jack is a very kinesthetic learner.
369
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.319
He is much more active and get
up and go. Then let's say his
370
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.960
seventeen year old brother, who is
much more in his head and likes to
371
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.599
read and think, and you know, is much more about communicating. So
372
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:22.200
hobbies really, while seemingly simple at
the outset, can be very informative in
373
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:30.200
terms of our natural again, inclinations
and tendencies and certainly min very many of
374
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:34.319
mine come around, no surprise,
communicating, and you know, the foreign
375
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:40.079
language, speaking foreign languages and the
sound of voices and even just so it
376
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:45.200
all comes to communicating. So it's
very useful to do this exercise for yourself.
377
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:47.799
So listeners and viewers are but this
is for you. Please do this.
378
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:51.079
So we've covered s and h now
let's go to I, which is
379
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:55.079
interests. Oh well, I guess
interest is It's not the same thing as
380
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:59.680
hobbies. Interests and then irritants,
right, So interests are things like these
381
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:03.319
just be topics. They're not super
duper close to us, right, I
382
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:06.640
mean, it's not like a hobby
is something that I'm actually doing, I'm
383
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:11.119
engaging it. An interest can just
be something that I'm curious about. It's
384
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:14.960
a topic that when it's being talked
about, or if I see an article
385
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.319
or hear that there's a podcast or
something, I'm going to stop and I'm
386
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.720
probably going to pay attention to it. So for me, for instance,
387
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:29.720
I would say that I am naturally
I'm very interested in how communities develop,
388
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.799
and that interesting why I just am. I grew up in a neighborhood where
389
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:38.880
there was a really strong sense of
community. My parents were involved in the
390
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:44.160
community, and I have always been
fascinated. I always felt lucky to live
391
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:48.160
in the community I lived in,
and I've always been fascinated by what holds
392
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:53.039
community together. Another random example is
that even at the youngest of ages,
393
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:59.119
I would look through magazines and I
was far less interested in the articles than
394
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:06.880
I was in the advertisements. I
have always been really interested in advertising and
395
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:11.319
what makes for a good catchy ad. So you know, those are again
396
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:18.400
two little examples that whenever something comes
up, you know, an advertisement,
397
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.319
I will always stop. I will
always linger over them, I will always
398
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:25.119
look longer. And it's because I'm
not going to work in advertising. My
399
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:29.160
job doesn't really require me to do
a ton of it. But I am
400
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:33.279
you know, I'm interested in it
because I am creative and I'm visual.
401
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:38.319
I'm both I am creative and I
am visual, and so I like to
402
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:45.200
kind of analyze an advertisement for why
I think it works, and then the
403
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:48.039
same thing. I love to read
about community. I love to I love
404
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:53.079
to notice when I'm in a coffee
shop and there is a gathering of you
405
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:56.000
know, five or six men,
and I know they meet there every morning,
406
00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.920
Like, what is it that's making
that work? So I'm very curious
407
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:06.920
about these things and what's interesting and
why interests are important to pay attention to
408
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.200
a couple of reasons. One,
I'm a firm believer that our interests can
409
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:18.240
actually help enhance our personal brand.
Right your question. Right. So I
410
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:25.480
take my natural curiosities and my natural
interests, and I overlay them on top
411
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:29.359
of the way I go about doing
my work in my little corner of the
412
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:33.200
wall. Yes, and it looks
different therefore than when you do yours or
413
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:37.480
somebody else does theirs. And so
in some ways, it's just a little
414
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:40.880
bit of an imprint. It's a
little bit of me, you know,
415
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:45.079
kind of out carving out my little
brand just by bringing to it some of
416
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:48.440
the things that I'm naturally interested in. I feel this way about teachers.
417
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:53.519
Imagine if every teacher in every classroom, we're to bring with them some of
418
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:59.880
their personal interests, and we're to
teach through the lens of some of their
419
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.880
interests on fire for that topic because
it's something they're really connected to and it
420
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:08.000
would have you know, it just
could be a game changer. So and
421
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:12.640
then, you know, just one
more example would be my love of community.
422
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:18.680
I am getting to use everything I've
read over time, and you know,
423
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:22.599
anecdotal stories I've heard, research that
I've read, podcasts that I've listened
424
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:26.759
to, books that I've read.
I'm getting to use this information that is
425
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:33.759
literally based in interest only. But
I'm finding myself applying these concepts to this
426
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:37.160
physical space that we have now opened. And in fact, I would say
427
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.319
the very same thing about the blog
that I wrote for six and a half
428
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:48.200
years is that it was me actually
building community. So I'm applying my interests
429
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:53.559
to my actual job at the time
and now, and it is creating an
430
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:57.799
imprint that looks different than anybody else's. Right, So this is the value
431
00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:02.119
of interests. And so I want
what I want to layer onto that if
432
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:04.640
I can, before we go into
our break here is so that is an
433
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:08.240
expression of you, and I love
how you talk about how it colors your
434
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:11.640
brand, right and to your point, what I would say from a log
435
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:17.079
of therapeutic lenses you're also expressing some
of your passion in that which is irresistible
436
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:19.200
to people. Right, So,
listeners and viewers, those of you who
437
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:22.599
say you don't know what you're passionate
about, start looking through your interests.
438
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:27.839
Maybe we look at how passionate that
Claudia is about community my goodness, right,
439
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:32.559
So, beautiful, beautiful illustration of
that. And I do want to
440
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:36.279
cover the other side of that piece, the irritants, but let's grab that
441
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:41.279
after the break. I'm with doctor
Claudia Beini, who is the founder and
442
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:44.960
executive director of the House of Shine. We've been getting into this beautiful shine
443
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.000
model she and her team have created
and this is what they use to educate
444
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:52.680
people through of all ages with it. And after the break we're going to
445
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.880

456
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:05.680
Beanie, who has spent more than
thirty years working in education, igniting the
457
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:08.279
energy and passion of others, and
after a successful career in higher education,
458
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:12.319
she left her role to start House
of Shine, which is a nonprofit that
459
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:15.880
helps people discover what makes them unique, how they leverage their shine for the
460
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:19.119
good of their community. I'm your
host, doctor Lee Cortes. Before we
461
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:21.680
go on, we have to acknowledge
our listeners. Just popped in, Molly
462
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:24.880
Wade. Mollie, thank you for
joining us. I love speaking of education.
463
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:29.359
I got to work with Molly years
ago when she was in my classroom
464
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:31.359
and we still stay in touch.
Molly, thrilled to have you here listening
465
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:36.440
to the conversation. Thanks for joining
us. All right, So picking up
466
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:38.440
where we left Dot Claudia, we
were talking about what I appreciated about your
467
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:43.640
model Shine. So we covered SAH
and part of I I being interested in.
468
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:45.359
The other part of I is irritants. And this is so, so
469
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:50.079
so important to talk about. Talk
to us about irritance in the model.
470
00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:53.440
Yeah. So, I mean it's
a little counterintuitive, isn't it. We're
471
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:59.000
talking about shine and yet we're talking
about things that irritate us. I like
472
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:00.240
to say it's a little bit of
any word, But really, what it's
473
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:04.680
trying to drive at is what is
it that drives you? What is it
474
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:08.159
that motivates you, that upsets you, that bothers you. We believe at
475
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:15.880
the House of Shine that it can
easily be that your greatest contribution comes through
476
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:19.920
the very thing that upsets and bothers
you the most. And again I have
477
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:22.840
to go back to my own life
and say, apathy is mine. Now.
478
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:25.760
I always like to say, look, there are look around us.
479
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:32.000
There are an infinite number of problems
in the world around us. So and
480
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:36.400
we don't all care about the same
things. We all care about something different,
481
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:37.920
and that's a good thing. Because
again, there are plenty of problems
482
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:43.519
to go around. So for me, the thing that really kind of unnerves
483
00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:46.880
me the most or irritates me the
most would just be apathy. I don't
484
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:52.440
understand it. I feel like people
are apathetic when they just I feel like
485
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:57.280
the only way to explain apathy is
to say, you have not yet found
486
00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:01.639
the thing that ignites you or triggers
you. Because if you were connected to
487
00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:07.800
the thing that ignites and triggers you, you would not be able to not
488
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:13.920
do it and do it with enthusiasm
and energy. So the key to helping
489
00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:19.400
people identify what it is that really
riles them up if you will, is
490
00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:22.800
that what you're actually really doing is
you're giving them the emotional fuel that they
491
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:28.880
need to pursue something. You know, their purpose, if you will,
492
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:32.440
their contribution. So Maving is such
a good example of this. He's a
493
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:37.199
good simple example of this. His
work wasn't simple, but in retrospect,
494
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:44.000
you know he was frustrated, irritated, insert whatever word by the injustices,
495
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:50.199
and so he spends his lifetime working
for social justice in order to write that
496
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:53.320
wrong. And so this is the
value is when we know what we care
497
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:57.840
about and I like to say that
emotion is data. And so when we
498
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:02.440
can keep track of, and notice
and even record back to the journal the
499
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:07.960
moments and the things that really upset
us and rile us up and leave us
500
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:13.480
frustrated or leave us feeling unsettled,
then we can begin to get closer and
501
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:19.800
closer to contributions that not only what
we have the energy for, but the
502
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:22.360
world will really need. Yeah,
which is exactly what Molly's saying in her
503
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:25.320
interaction with us on the chat room. Thank you, Molly, That's exactly
504
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:29.000
spot on. And so what I
also say, I'm working with a leader
505
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:34.599
now in an organization. She is
a museum expert, and she's really out
506
00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:38.880
to right the wrongs of not really
telling the full history, of kind of
507
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:43.760
shading over the dark parts of history, if you will, the parts of
508
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:45.239
people don't really want to see.
And she's all out to say, no,
509
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:49.360
no, no, here's the full
story. And so that is her
510
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.360
purpose and she can't not do that, and that's when you start getting to
511
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:57.840
see some of these pieces pieces of
yourself that come together and perfect example of
512
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:01.480
how irritant really fuels her, really
feels her, and we need that because
513
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:06.239
just to close that out. I
mean, you know, this is where
514
00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:10.559
the resilience piece comes in because the
more connected I am to emotion is data.
515
00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:15.079
So the more connected I am to
what I really care about, the
516
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:20.519
more the better able I'm going to
be to be resilient when it's going gets
517
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:22.360
tough, and it will get tough. I mean, it's a long it's
518
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.480
for me. I don't know what
about you, but my journey's been a
519
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:30.719
thirteen year slog to open this house
to shine. And some days have been
520
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:32.760
amazing and I've been full of energy, and some days I wonder if it's
521
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:36.719
all worth it and if I if
I've got another day inside of me.
522
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:39.000
So I have to love it.
We have, Yeah, you got to
523
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:43.280
have the fuel for sure. Yeah. So let's get to the end in
524
00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:46.039
your model, which stands for need. So talk about need with us.
525
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:52.440
Yeah. So this is a real
recognition that we all need something different in
526
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:55.159
order to feel happy and fulfilled,
right, and that not only is it
527
00:37:55.159 --> 00:38:00.440
important to really know and be able
to articulate what it is is that you
528
00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:04.480
need in order to feel happy and
fulfilled, but it's also important to have
529
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:08.440
the skills necessary to advocate for those
things. So you know, as I
530
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:14.840
have. The more I dive into
this work, the more clear it is
531
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:17.360
to me what I really need,
what I know about myself in terms of
532
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:22.599
what I need to feel my best. So I know that in my typical
533
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:25.400
day I need I need some kind
of balance I need. If I don't
534
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:30.000
get that workout in in the morning, my day is just not near as
535
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:34.719
good and I'm not actually as nice
of a person if I don't. And
536
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:38.360
I also know that I need to
be doing work that allows me to create.
537
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:42.800
These are just two things. There
are more, but these are two
538
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:47.639
things that I know about myself.
And so the value of knowing this and
539
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:52.519
then again being able to articulate it
is that then I can advocate for it.
540
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:57.559
And so when I feel my schedule
getting away from me, and when
541
00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:02.159
I feel like I'm you know,
not making time for exercise and other things
542
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:06.840
that I consider to be that of
balance, or when my schedule of meetings
543
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:09.519
is getting so far ahead of me
that I'm not having any time to think,
544
00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:14.719
read, write, create, then
it's now I can do something about
545
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:21.400
this. Now I can basically hold
myself accountable to bringing things back into order
546
00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:24.159
so that I can live my optimal
life and again, this is where that
547
00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:28.840
DO fifty two concept comes back into
play, which is to say, you
548
00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:32.039
know that verb that I draw every
week is that conversation between my head and
549
00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:36.679
my heart about how I'm doing.
I am I getting what I need to
550
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:39.400
live my optimal life. Well,
I know, for me, what I've
551
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:45.559
discovered is I do need intellectual pursuit. I need cogitation. So for me
552
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:47.719
hoaching the radio show and reading the
books that you write, you people that
553
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:52.320
come on Claudi Beanie and others,
is that it meets a need that I
554
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:55.199
have. I need to do that. So let's now cover experiences. And
555
00:39:55.559 --> 00:40:00.360
that's another important thing. How we
you say the experience, how we think,
556
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:05.119
feel, and behave say more about
why experiences are important? Yeah,
557
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:07.079
well, just parenthetically, let me
say, at least one of the reasons
558
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:12.480
you're as good as you are at
doing what you do is because you have
559
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:19.400
figured out how to create a job
around your innate talents and strengths. Right,
560
00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:22.239
So that's what we're trying to do
for people at the House of Shine.
561
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:24.880
That's what we do. We try
to find what I would call that
562
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:30.559
point of intersection. So you're just
a great example of that. So experiences
563
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:34.679
yes, I just as much as
I love that the word starts the word
564
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:38.039
shine starts with the letter S because
it puts strengths at the foundation, I
565
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:43.320
love that it ends in the letter
E because experiences, really, in my
566
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:46.159
mind, are the great differentiator.
And what I mean by that is,
567
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:50.679
you know, a group of people
can look like they have a lot of
568
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:53.239
things in common. We can have
the same Myers brig or any gram type
569
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:55.320
or you know, insert whatever it
is that you want. We could have
570
00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:59.159
gone to the same school, grown
up in the same community, whatever,
571
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:01.760
have the same color skin, be
around the same age. But really,
572
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:06.760
at the end of the day,
what is the great differentiator are the life
573
00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:13.199
experiences that we have had and how
those experiences have helped shape the lens through
574
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:16.639
which we see life. And so
we can have a lot of things seemingly
575
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:22.920
in common and yet be wildly different, and therefore our contributions are wildly different.
576
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:28.159
So one of the things that we
ask people to do in our work
577
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:34.079
and in our curriculum is we ask
them to identify foundational moments. And I
578
00:41:34.079 --> 00:41:38.320
always, almost always have explained that
foundational moments are not milestone moments. They
579
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:42.320
are not I was born in the
city on this day time I went to
580
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:45.480
this college. I have this many
brothers and sisters. It's not that foundational
581
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:52.039
moments in my mind could be the
most obscure memory that you have that you
582
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:55.719
remember that you cannot even explain why
you remember it, And so I have
583
00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:00.559
a handful. I mean, I
remember, I remember when I was in
584
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:05.519
probably the seventh grade, a substitute
teacher buying time by playing a game and
585
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:07.679
he would put a word on the
board and then you'd have to remember what
586
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:13.039
You'd have to guess which student he
was describing. And I remember he put
587
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:16.079
the word mature on the board,
and then it was me that he was
588
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:22.280
describing. Now I don't exactly.
I remember being in the moment kind of
589
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:25.000
frozen that I did not want to
be singled out, and I didn't know
590
00:42:25.039 --> 00:42:29.199
if that was a good word I
meant, but I didn't know was that
591
00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:32.119
a compliment? Like how would that
be by my peers? But for some
592
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:37.440
reason I remember that, you know, I remember, I remember too,
593
00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:43.159
you know a pinata that I made
with camp counselor when I was camp counselor
594
00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:45.639
and I spent an entire summer working
with girls in my group to make this
595
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:50.480
pinata, and it was a really
amazing culminating moment on the last day of
596
00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:54.519
camp, and I just I remember
that moment really vividly, and I remember
597
00:42:54.920 --> 00:43:00.360
what it was like going to a
Catholic school when I wasn't Catholic and going
598
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:05.280
to first Friday Mass and having every
student step over me in order to go
599
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:08.239
down the aisle to receive communion.
And that was an example of a negative
600
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:13.119
experience, whereas maybe some of the
other ones were either nondescript, not neither
601
00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:15.880
good nor bad, or were really
happy, positive ones. But the truth
602
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:22.239
is, when I actually look at
and reflect on and connect dots between the
603
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:28.199
life experiences that I have had,
it becomes really really clear to see how
604
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:32.880
I got to where I am now
that my life experiences and the impressions that
605
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:39.719
they have left on me all along
the way have helped shape my path really.
606
00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:45.480
So experiences are essential, yes,
and they're so yummy too. I
607
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:47.400
could share many of mine, but
for the sake of our time short time
608
00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:50.639
together, I want to keep going
a little bit further. Model. So
609
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:53.079
you have three parts to your model, and we've been covering the B part
610
00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:57.000
right b e, yes, okay, right now I want to cover just
611
00:43:57.039 --> 00:44:00.639
a little bit of the DODO and
so you talk. But in the second
612
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:02.960
part of the Shine model, to
do part is where we transition from discovering
613
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:07.239
what we what engages and delights us, to reflecting on what we've learned about
614
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:12.119
ourselves. This section contains actionable steps
to further develop and refine talents and gifts
615
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:15.199
that we've unearthed. Short amount of
time for this, but just a little
616
00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:19.000
bit to situate for our listeners.
Now, moving from B to do if
617
00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:22.360
you would, Yeah, so you
know, be again just all about who
618
00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:23.760
am I? What is my being? What do I know about it?
619
00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:28.199
Do is very action oriented. This
is where we're rolling our sleeves up.
620
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:30.440
I like to create an analogy and
I say, look at that. You
621
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:37.639
know, here's the deal that you
that knowing sell is a lot like having
622
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:42.039
a membership to a gym, right
like we we because you know the book
623
00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:44.719
that the book, the book that
I wrote. That's your membership to a
624
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:45.800
gym. You can read that book, put it back on a shelf and
625
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:50.840
it will do nothing for you and
you cannot expect that your physical health will
626
00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:54.559
change at all. But if you
actually flex the muscles, you know,
627
00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:58.840
our shine muscles will atrophy if they're
not used in the same way that our
628
00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:01.800
muscles will atrophy of we don't use
them. And so this whole section of
629
00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:07.639
the book is really getting people to
think about the way they exercise their shine
630
00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:10.280
muscles, how they use them and
work them out every day. And so
631
00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:15.440
we create almost if you will,
a matrix where we say time runs across
632
00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:21.719
one axis and intensity of time runs
across the other, and we say that,
633
00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:23.599
you know, kind of the best
workouts are going to be some combination
634
00:45:23.679 --> 00:45:28.119
of all of those things. Something
that lasts a short period of time and
635
00:45:28.280 --> 00:45:32.920
is low intensity. So that might
be something as simple as taking a book
636
00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:37.119
to a coffee shop and reading it
for a period of time, low intensity,
637
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:40.800
short period of time, right to
something that is longer period of time
638
00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:45.719
but still relatively low intensity. I
actually probably would put DO fifty two in
639
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:51.599
this category and say that this is
fairly low intensity experience. But if you
640
00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:53.679
do it for all fifty two weeks, you're going to have I think,
641
00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:59.679
a transformative experience. Then you would
have something that would last is still be
642
00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:04.079
a short period of time, but
it's going to be a higher intensity experience.
643
00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:06.559
So this could be you know,
you might be a part of an
644
00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:09.559
organization that takes you away on a
weekend retreat where there's a lot of self
645
00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:15.519
disclosure, a lot of self reflection
going on. People are making themselves vulnerable
646
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:20.239
by sharing things. This is again
a high intensity experience that maybe lasts just
647
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:22.960
a short period of time. And
then in that last quadrant, we would
648
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:28.480
have something that lasts a long period
of time, meaning it could be six
649
00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:30.559
months, it could be a year. But and it's also going to be
650
00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:35.480
a high intensity experience. What I
mean by that is again a lot of
651
00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:39.960
physical energy required of you and a
lot of psychological energy required of you.
652
00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:45.679
So this could be a year long
course that you're taking. If you were
653
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:49.800
trying to become life coach certified,
let's say this would be an example of
654
00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:54.159
a high intensity, long period of
time experience. And so our development,
655
00:46:54.239 --> 00:47:00.199
our ability to exercise these shine muscles
fall somewhere in that matrix, right,
656
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:06.079
So we're always trying to find those
combination of things that really require us to
657
00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:09.599
flex our shine muscles. So well
explained, So explained, Okay, So
658
00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:13.960
now just to round out and put
pretty bow on this, the third part
659
00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:17.159
of your shine model is share,
and that is how we answer the question
660
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:21.119
to what end, what are my
talents, what are my interests? What
661
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:22.800
do I need to see in the
world around me? And so that's I
662
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:27.360
think where your intersection comes in.
Is that right? Yes, that's exactly
663
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:30.760
right. So you know, so
SHI and E is great. It's a
664
00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:35.800
good important framework. It's the framework
that we hang all of our written curriculum
665
00:47:35.840 --> 00:47:39.639
around. But at the end of
the day, that framework is designed to
666
00:47:39.760 --> 00:47:45.639
inform the points of the point of
intersection. And we will say that over
667
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:49.719
your lifetime you're going to have more
than one point of intersection. You're going
668
00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:54.280
to have many over your lifetime.
But really the point of intersection is always
669
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:59.960
where your talents and your interests meet
a need that you see in the world
670
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:06.039
around you. And that that need
could be anything from a family need to
671
00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:09.360
a need in your office place,
to a need in your local community,
672
00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:12.960
your state, your country. It
doesn't you know, it can kind of
673
00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:17.360
grow, It scales up or back
along with the person whoever's applying it to
674
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:22.800
their to their life. So we
have many in our lifetime. They will
675
00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:28.079
grow with us based on our sphere
of influence. As I like to say.
676
00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:31.000
So for instance, I you know, remember when I was nine years
677
00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:36.119
old, I gave plays on the
steps. Here's let me actually say one
678
00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:38.480
more thing about this. I think
that what happens is the more we get
679
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:43.079
to know ourselves, the more reflection
that we do, the more we write
680
00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:45.239
in a journal and then look for
common themes. Here's what I've been able
681
00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:50.719
to learn about myself over time,
and that is that my talent. Right,
682
00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:55.360
So again intersection point of intersection between
talent. Second kind of talent is
683
00:48:55.599 --> 00:49:00.599
for me would be organizing and leading. The interest might be in just making
684
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:05.159
magical moments, and the need that
I'm filling always is engaging people. So
685
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:08.000
whether I was doing that when I
was nine or twenty nine or fifty nine,
686
00:49:08.639 --> 00:49:12.559
really, at the end of the
day, that is always what my
687
00:49:12.599 --> 00:49:15.320
point of intersection is. Oh my
gosh, that is a brilliant way to
688
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:17.960
finish. Doctor Claudia Beanie. I'm
so glad to know you, have you
689
