You have to learn to trust - and listen to - your unconscious mind. If you pose the question to your unconscious "is this person a friend or a foe" - safe or a threat - your unconscious mind is hard-wired to assess that brilliantly for you. It's just that we're not very good at paying attention to what our unconscious minds are telling us.

Our conscious minds are rapidly overwhelmed with the few tasks that they attempt to manage. That's why our unconscious minds have evolved to handle so much of our thinking.

Leaders can only lead willing, preferably zealous followers so don't get too far out in front of your team.

Being embarrassed means that you're human, and we like you better for it

You have to begin by posing questions to your unconscious mind, and then listening very carefully for the answers. If you pose the right kinds of questions, and listen well, you can begin to tap into the power of your unconscious mind.

The Dalai Lama is my personal (and the world's) hero and has been for me since I was 17 and I first learned about him. His openness and acceptance of the world and his focus on others are constant inspirations for me.
