Business Reputation: Creativity and Happiness: To Be Known!?

  • One of the primary exercises I request, early in a coaching relationship, is for each client to write a short essay answering - what does he or she want to be known for. In the case of a corporate client I request that a process be established that produces a Character Statement that describes most of the same elements as in the case of the individual.
  • So the first element for which I will be known is to stand for tactics of transparency from which ‘I’ is speaking: authenticity.

Dr. Tian Dayton: Developing Emotional Literacy: Learning to Talk Out Rather Than Act Out - Living on The Huffington Post

  • Learning to talk out rather than act out our emotions is what separates human beings from the animal kingdom. It is a gift of the prefrontal cortex, that thinking part of our brain that was added, late in our evolution, to our "animal" or "reptilian" brain.

On Happiness

      1. Exceptionalist tradition lauds the uniqueness of Afro-American culture and personality – It claims a Sui genris status for Afro-American life in regard to form and content. It stresses what qualitatively distinguishes Afro-Americans from the rest of humanity, especially what sets them apart from white Americans.
      2. Assimilationist tradition view is one of self-hatred, shame, and fear. Afro-Americans are viewed as morbid subhuman monsters. This tradition posits Afro-American inferiority, not against everyone, but specifically to white Americans.
      3. Marginalist tradition promotes a self-image of confinement and creativity, restriction and revolt. It encompasses a highly individualistic rebellion of Afro-Americans who are marginal to, or exist on the edges of, Afro-American culture and see little use in assimilating into the American mainstream. It expresses a critical disposition toward Afro-American culture and American society.
      4. Humanist tradition describes an Afro-American that holds a self-image that is one neither of heroic super humans untouched by the experience of oppression nor of pathetic sub humans devoid of a supportive culture. Rather, Afro Americans are viewed as both meek and belligerent, kind and cruel, creative and dull – in short, as human beings.
