Questions For Excellence…

Our “Creating Safe

Environments” Skills

Excellence For Business.

Excellence For Life.

This is fourth in a series based on my responses from Kendall Sylva’s excellent article on The Coaching Mindset.  Following my read of that article, I summarized a list for me to grow as a person and as a life coach, and posted those questions next to my desk for review, inspiration and my own self growth and development.

As I have mentioned in this series, I feel these questions may help whether you are:

My Question For You Today…

“How Can I Practice

Creating Safe Environments

For People?”

We often need places of physical, spiritual and emotional refuge in our lives.  Maybe several of your own stops at such places will come to mind as you read this quote:
Safe Places
Places of refuge
we seek, welcome
and at at times run to
for acceptance, affirmation and
encouragement during the journeys of our lives.

Safe environments can help to heal hearts, give hope to the hurting, encourage the timid and inspire the victorious. Active listening, questioning while the heart is in tune to the needs of another person, “broadcasting” relational messages of acceptance or affirmation, and a variety of other signals we send can offer precious moments of being in a “safe place” for others.
  • Places that care.
  • Places where the agenda includes us instead of excludes us.
  • Places where the power of relationship means more than the urgency of an agenda.
  • Places of hope instead of demands.

We need such places. Think about it:

  • Suppose you took a day — just one day — to think about being or becoming a safe place for those who step into your world. For you, what would have to take place on the inside for that “space” to be created?
  • How might that “safe place” look or feel like should someone call you or even stop in just to say “Hi!”
  • What have “safe places” meant to you in your life? Who gave them to you?  Were they all major times or did the meaningful one include the so termed “minor” times as well?  Chances meetings at a coffee shop, park or while out jogging.  A sudden sincere question “from out of the blue” that caught you right where you needed to be “caught.”  A glance or look that for some reason or another you knew — you knew — you were in the presence of a sincere invitation to “stop on over” and engage in a level of meaningful dialogue.

Your Turn!

  • Take an emotional road trip while reflecting on the thoughts made in the previous bullet points.
  • Now that you are traveling on that road trip, what would you add?  How would you say things in your way relative to the subject of what it means to experience the beauty of being in a safe place with another human being?
  • If you had to give three tips on creating safe places for others, what would they be?  Just three?
  • Are you an attraction marketer, team leader in a network marketing organization, a parent, friend, spouse or life partner that — by chance — may be reading this post and you find yourself realizing that you need to get down to business when it comes to creating a safe place for those you care for?

A Brief Quote To Consider

On Loving People…

Caring for others is an ongoing process
 of creating safe environments for people
 to enjoy in one form or another
 while in your presence.
