The Structure of Reality - Understanding Personal Vision - Business Vision - Customer Vision- the Loop to Reality.

The Structure of Reality

What is Reality? Why is it that some people see something as possible (within their reality) and others totally discount it?

When I work with people or Businesses, the secret is to create and excel in your personal and business vision, this is the first step to understanding everyone's Reality. My purpose in life is to support as many people and businesses as I can to create a new world within the communities we live in around the world.

" Do you have a Personal Vision"?

Tomorrow I am with Scottish Youth Minister in Scottish Parliament outlining my reality in innovation in supporting the youth of today which will create the leaders of the tomorrow. Understanding everyone's reality is crucial to this meeting at Scottish Parliament tomorrow. For 25 years I have spent time understanding Global excellence by learning from Global companies to psychologists and professors around the world, which supports me in my work to this day, development and knowledge is never ending, its just a way of life.

So....

Your Perception of the World is Your Reality

How we filter information based on our beliefs, values, memories, meta programs, etc. As a result of this filtering, we have a perception of the world that we call reality. There is a saying: “If you wish to change your life, first you must change the way you perceive your life.”

To get a better understanding of reality and how it affects our lives, consider the following: Suppose the circle in Figure 1, represents all possible knowledge - all that has been discovered and all that will be discovered. One piece of this circle represents ‘What you know you know’ -- you know your name, where you live, etc. Another piece of the circle represents ‘What you know you don’t know’ -- you know there is something called scuba diving, but you do not know any of the details or how to do it. These two pieces represent what you call reality (or your perception of reality). The rest of the circle is ‘What you don’t know you don’t know’ and is, at this time, outside of your perception (reality). Because it is not part of your awareness or reality, this does not mean that it does not have an effect on your life. For example, until I tell you, are you aware that you have a new stomach lining every five days (Deepak Chopra)?

Figure 1: Your Reality and Stepping Outside of It

The Larger Your Reality, the More Choices You Have in Life

If you were to step out of your reality to, say, the green dot (i.e. do something you have never done before and do not have any idea how it will turn out), how might you feel? For example if you had never been to Japan, were not a world traveller, could not speak Japanese and found yourself instantaneously transported to a street corner in downtown Tokyo; how might you feel? Fearful, confused, apprehensive, anxious? Or you may find your mind goes blank. (If part of your reality is to travel to different places and experience the culture with the local inhabitants, you may experience this quite differently). What is your typical reaction when you are fearful, confused, apprehensive, anxious, …? Many people move back to something they know and perceive to be safe (their reality) and shut down any process of exploring new ideas about the world or about themselves. If you are to expand your reality and your potential in life, I believe it is necessary to explore ‘what you don’t know you don’t know’. 

A ‘Green Dot’ Moment

When my clients discover new things about themselves or explore their beliefs and values, sometimes they find themselves fearful, confused, apprehensive, anxious, … . I point out to them that this is a good thing, as it means they are exploring new aspects of themselves - how can they be fearful, confused, apprehensive, anxious, … about something they already know! As they become more comfortable exploring who they are and trusting in themselves, it is common to hear them say “I am having a green dot moment” or “Wow! I just had a green dot moment and learned something very valuable about myself or how I perceive the world”.

The next time you feel fearful, confused, apprehensive, anxious, …; first make sure you are safe, then breathing deep (often we tend to hold our breath at times like this, which only makes the situation feel worse) explore what this is all about. Just maybe you will discover new insights about who you are, your beliefs and values, your strategies for achieving what you want in life or how you can handle that everyday situation differently and achieve a different more desired result.

Appreciating Another Person’s Reality

Assume that you and I grew up in different cultures with different religions, with different beliefs and values and for argument sake have totally different perceptions of the world. This is illustrated in the extreme in Figure 2. What is the potential for us to agree and work together? If we both hold fast to our beliefs, values, etc. and are not willing to explore new ideas (ever meet anyone like that?), then I am sure that we would be continuously disagreeing - and how much fun is that? On the other hand, what would happen if you decided to explore my reality -you don’t have to agree with me, only appreciate and respect that I can have different beliefs, values, etc. than you and avoid judging which of our beliefs/values is right or wrong? At first you may find my reality confusing (a 'green dot' moment), however, if you were to continue to explore my reality, then you have the potential to expand your reality (more choice in your life), assist me in being more tolerant of your reality and open up the possibility for us to improve our communication with each other.

In being flexible in your approach (being able to explore ideas outside of your reality), you have the potential of creating much more for yourself and assist others at the same time. Is this not what is meant by organizational experts who say we should encourage diversity in the workplace?

Figure 2: Appreciating Different Realities

How would your life and the results you are achieving in your life be different, if you were to accept that members of your family, co-workers or neighbours see the world differently than you (have a different reality)? All you need to do is chose to be inquisitive and appreciate their different perspectives. 

What You Don't Know You Know

Looking at Figure 1, you may realize there is another part to the circle ‘What you don't know you know’. This can have many interpretations. For example: Memories that you have chosen not to remember, or children who are culturally conditioned to take on certain roles and not others (boys are to follow in the footsteps of their fathers or young girls are told they can not do mathematics or be engineers or airline pilots, …). What impact does this have on your reality and choices in life?

Innovation is Exploring ‘What you Don’t Know You Don’t Know’

Finally, let’s talk briefly about innovation. This can be your own personal innovation, innovation in the workplace or within society. Referring to Figure 1, where will the innovative new ideas come from? From ‘what we already know we know’?-No! From ‘what we know we don’t know’? - Some potential for small advances. Or from stepping into ‘what we don’t know we don’t know’ or 'what we don't know we know'? - Yes, this is where the opportunity lies for big breakthroughs!

My Coaching programmes assists people to expand their reality in a safe and respectful way.

Better to Try and Fail than "Fail to Try"?

I love reading about peoples successes, but I am always very curious why people never talk about their "failures", why is that?  This is always the "Golden" question for me, if you do not achieve the outcome you want, then the successful strategy for me is in your decisions you make instantly through “speed of evaluation”, “speed of change and speed of execution to move onto what's next!” Accept it never went as planned, its that simple, so move on, that "failure" is now in the past” I have had many failures personally in my life and always vocal about them, but I am someone who wants to "know" rather than ponder and wonder "what if I gave it a go"?, what would have happened?, it’s a choice of what you focus on. I prefer just to know outcome rather than not knowing.

Failure actually inspires others. Leaders must take risks. Even when they don't succeed, their courage can still make a difference. As an example in 1980, 18-year-old Terry Fox attempted to raise $1 million for cancer research by running across the entire length of Canada on a prosthetic leg. He ran 3339 miles before a relapsed cancer ended his quest. He lost his life, but his effort has inspired over $340 million in donations to date. His "failure" was hardly in vain.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjgTlCTluPA (A must watch 8 minute clip)

Failure is better than regret. The times I've been denied an opportunity never felt as bad as when I've let opportunities pass me by. At least when we fail, we know. Not trying at all leaves us wondering. Avoid kicking yourself later by taking a leap today.

Failure reveals our ability. You'll never know how much weight you can lift until you reach an amount you can't. Trainers often refer to this as "lifting to failure." Pushing yourself as far as you can lets you know what's possible. By avoiding limits, you'll never reach your peak. The fear of failure stops us a lot shorter than failure itself. So keep going until nothing more is possible. Then celebrate what you've accomplished.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. “-Theadore Roosevelt

4 years ago I invested over £25k in an event in Connaught Rooms in London, 500 seated motivational event, I marketed the event very well, in fact I was in the centre pages of a football programme, the game was a Chelsea vs. Man Utd programme, my face and led a marketing campaign where I was on the LDR trains in London on marketing panels within the trains, I even created my own radio adverts. I invested so much time and effort into this project, including members of staff supporting me, because I believed, I had pictures in my mind not just of this event, but of all the events I would be doing over the next 10 year period.

Now wait for it, wait for it, no one came, never sold a ticket, but I still completed and went through with it. I remember people not looking me in the eye, they never knew how to react, I would say to them you are reacting the way we are conditioned to react, I exploded with passion shouting we plan the next event, what’s next I said? I ask, what did we learn from this experience? What is bigger and better than this one? We obviously went onto deliver in Windsor Castle few years later.

My message here is plan many steps beyond your current goals, I simply picked this event up and stacked it with rest of failure experiences and simply chose never to look at them again and simply walked forward to plan the next one, it’s a simple choice to condition your mind never to look back or focus on that experience again, I would feel cheated looking constantly at my past. Life is about focusing and moving forward, best part about the past, is that it is over. I will go to the grave an old man where I can say with every fibre of my soul, I gave it my best shot, ensure you give your best shot each and every day.

Never stop believing in yourself, I love accelerating people through my coaching programmes instantly, Inspiring people to believe in achieving your own dreams. How would you feel if you were achieving your goals

Top SIX Reasons for Appointing a Non-Executive Director - Its like having the Fast track pass @ Florida Orlando parks

Starting Question for you - "How many people in your business understand every aspect of your business but also understand business"?

The Non-Executive Director is the best kept secret of most successful companies. Whether a temporary appointment or a full time fixture, the non-executive director applies and contributes a wealth of knowledge, experience and contacts to the business. 

A company does not have to be well established to be looking to bring a Non-executive Director onto their board. In fact it is strongly advisable for start-up companies and SMEs to search for and recruit the perfect person to be a non-executive director for their organisation.

But why do you need one I hear you ask? apart for more being structured, the non-executive director has a lot to contribute. Providing they are carefully chosen,there are a great number of benefits to your company.

Four Months ago I was approached by a business to take similar role up within the board Room, today we submitted a £350k Lottery grant, we have introduced new partners to the business and created product innovation. Non Executives accelerate your business model, Moving towards the tomorrow you want aligning a concrete Vision for a sustainable future. "We see more, because what you want, we have achieved before"

More Discipline in Board Conduct

Many boards, regardless of how much training they have been through and how practised they are, can often fall into bad habits. Items are brought up which are not on the agenda, conversations are sidetracked, day-to-day business is brought up. Introducing a non-executive director to your board meetings will encourage your chair to keep things on track. Time is important and the meeting needs to be specific and to the point.

The non-exec is usually a more experienced business person with a respected background which will also encourage other members to come to each meeting prepared and eager to both please and learn. This can be especially important in a startup company where the ideas are great but needs direction and management. Sometimes a firm, but constructive, response from an experienced non-exec can ease any tensions.

They've Seen It All Before and lived your world 

As previously mentioned, the non-exec is an experienced business person who has supported a number of companies align structure and life map or even survive through difficult times. There will not be many things that this person has not experienced and dealt with before. You can feel safe in the knowledge that, no matter how troubled you may be by an issue, your Non Exec will have dealt with this issue before - or know someone who has! They will be able to rationalise any worries and assist your board and managers in setting clear tasks to achieve what needs to be done.

It's Not Always What You Know - Its who you Know

The most successful businesses are connected. Networking involves making great connections and keeping them. It can be a time consuming and difficult process to build up a trusted network of contacts that you can call on for expertise when you need them. Relationships take time to develop, and you just may not have that time to devote to networking. A non-executive director usually offers a diary of excellent contacts to go along with all their experience. Years in their chosen field has earned them the respect of their peers and fellow businessmen/women. If you need to make an important connection to help further your business, the non-exec will probably be able to make an introduction.

For startups this could mean connecting you with a supplier, distributor or potential client that could really boost your productivity or trading. For more established companies this could be a marketing guru or potential partner which would add new dimensions to your business, or mark a change of direction. Having this expertise on board simply is like having a fast track pass at the Orlando.

They Look At The Big Picture - especially from Ariel view - always "on" not "in" business

The non-executive director does not work with the company full time. They are not in the day to day running of the company but are there to focus on the Vision. What is the direction of the company? Are targets being met? Who is the growing competition, and what are the plans to keep ahead? How we measuring what we do? what is the succession plan and Growth strategy? sometimes what's the exit strategy?

Often boards can get over loaded in the detail of some fairly insignificant day-to-day management and structure and lose track of the wider issues.

The non-exec will ensure that all board members are aware and acknowledging changes in the environment (economic, socio-political etc) and implementing strategy to deal with this. Having seen changes sweep over the business sector in the past they will be able to advise, with confidence, the direction they think it may go and how you can place yourselves to achieve success. Non Executives spend a lot of time in the future within minds.

You will be amazed at what they will notice that other board members may miss, and again how beneficial your non-executive director's contacts are at sounding an early alert!

They Are Not Afraid To Be Honest - No feelings in the board room

Because this expert does not work with you day to day, does not engage in office politics and retains their independence, they are able to offer unbiased, constructive criticism at all times, they become an observer. All boards try to behave as professionally as possible, but there are times when they are only told what they want to hear and very important lesson learning opportunities can be missed.

When you have a non executive Director casting their eye over the way the business is conducting its affairs, you can be assured they will ask probing and pertinent questions, in order to get to the real detail. They can ask the difficult questions because everyone understands that they are doing it purely for the good of the company and not for the benefit of a personal agenda within the company.

This does not mean that they will be constantly criticising, but rather encouraging the board to be accountable for decisions they have made, and praising them when they have achieved good work (even at times where it may not have gone to plan).

They Bring Out The Best - They empower people to go from effectiveness to Greatness!

A good board is one with a broad range of personalities, strengths and experiences. Great talent and intuition can be lost or overpowered by stronger voices if it is not nurtured. A non-executive director will often spot those people whose potential isn't quite yet being fulfilled and offer advice and support in order to grow their confidence or efficiency. In small companies and start-ups it is not uncommon for a non-exec to work for a short time with the directors to help them identify their strengths and weaknesses and understand how they can work more effectively together by playing on those strengths.

You really don't need to take much more time considering whether your business needs a Non-Executive Director. They are an incredibly valuable asset to any company, at any stage and you will quickly start to reap the benefits.

Can you be a Leader, entrepreneur and innovator all at once......... in my opinion Stevie Kidd has these three attributes.

My personal experience with Stevie Kidd in 2013 and going into 2014 has made be aware Stevie has all of these three qualities……………….. Leader…………….Innovator…………………..Entrepreneur

So what's the Question? Is Stevie Kidd a Visionary Leader…………………….?

When I begin to think of a leader, Innovator, and entrepreneur I instantly begin to engage in my mind what is called "long-term Genius thinking." In my opinion Stevie Kidd has all three in my opinion and my recent and future partnership with Stevie has proven I am right to shout out loud about this person.

The Leader in your Life

Stevie is a long-term thinker. Average thinkers think only about the present, and about immediate gratification. But Stevie thinks about where you want to be in five and ten years, and what we have to do each hour of each day to make our desired future a reality. It was hard to describe him at first as the man gives his heart and soul to you, he is like a magnetic force driving you forward with complete passion and Visionary leadership. I remember sitting at home after our initial meeting, It felt like I was on a sea saw with my head spinning finding it hard to sit down and at peace, spending sometime reflecting on which way I would go, I remember going to my bed saying to my wife “He sees the world like no other man I have ever met” My Wife asked " Does the future feel different since meeting him, because it sounds different as tonight you are different in how you talk about life and your business"? I replied " I feel excited after meeting him" My Wife replies " You have found your answer then", at that moment I closed my eyes and said I will call him in the morning and get things moving. A strange thing that will stay with me for a long time, when I came home we had dinner at home with family and as we sat in our dining room my wife said " Have you been doing something different today as you look and sound different" as  I looked around the table all my family were nodding and agreeing, my question was? surely not, surely after spending so little time with this man has so much changed instantly within me, months on, I now know change happened instantly with me which was and will be everlasting, in my eyes he is a genius. he lights you up within you if you let him in.

1. Stevie is inspired about himself and life, he is absolutely excited about the possibility of creating an exciting future for you. He gets up every morning and he sees every effort we make as part of a great plan to accomplish something wonderful with our lives.

2. Stevie sees opportunities in everything that happens, positive or negative. He looks for the good in every situation and in every person. He seeks the valuable lessons contained in every problem or setback. He will      never experience "failures;" instead, he writes them off as "learning experiences." I remember speaking with him as he invested £37k in marketing and leading an event in Conant rooms in London and it failed, well I looked at it as failure, He simply put his hands out describing what he said to his team, it’s as if he was lifting a brick and moved it to the left and said we do not look at that anymore, we focus on what’s next, Its simple we learn from it and remember it’s my responsibility and said what’s next, “ oh that’s right Windsor Castle next the man said”…………… and low and behold March this year he led a Personal Discovery event for over 20 leaders at Windsor castle where they stayed within the grounds for 3 days. He simply has one trait of thought, it’s that simple………, to him it’s a simple choice in how you think” He lives in the future where goals have been achieved.

3. Stevie has without question clear, written goals and plans he works on every day for an average of 20 hours per day every day. Stevie Is clear about where we are going and what we will have to do to get there. Stevie behaviour is purposeful and goal-directed. As a result, he accomplishes easily five and ten times as much as the average person who operates from day to day with little concern about the future. He has spent over £300k on his own personal development over the years around the world learning from business leaders over 7 sectors and physiologists from around the world, he does walk the talk. He has lived the life and business you want and that’s the big difference when working with the man. He spends 2 hours out of each day researching on web and listening to audios consistently developing and learning best practices from around the world, it’s always about best strategies as that’s the quickest way to get your results, modelling the businesses and the people who have the results today that you want to achieve, but then what’s beyond that world, that’s where he will take you.

4. Stevie never complains, never ever heard him complain. Instead of making excuses, he only sees and wants to make progress. Whenever we have a set-back or difficulty, he repeats to himself, "I am responsible! I am responsible! I am responsible!" He has had 7 businesses, one failed but he simply says I was responsible, it’s that simple, he pauses then looks up and says, “ It won’t happen again though with a smile attached”

5. Stevie doesn’t  criticize or blame others when something goes wrong. Instead, he always focuses on a solution.

6. He is always constantly in motion. He will try something, and then something else, and then something else again. He simply never gives up.

7. Attributes of the man, his love for people, he sees more in you than you see in yourself, his honesty, he is master of communication, he has a huge sense of humour, abundance of unconditional love, massive confidence and aura about the man, totally committed to your journey and you as a customer, gives you much much more than you ever thought you signed up for, always positive every time you meet the man, yet to see him negative or complain, in fact my team always say maybe today will be that day, but never happens. I have never met a man with such creativity, his intuition or Stevie likes to call it a “sixth sense” in business ideas or even his ability to read you even if you have just met for as little as 30 seconds, he knows more about you than you know yourself, but more importantly for me is his ability to inspire you and everyone around you, he simply goes to end of goal and stands waiting on you, he then brings you back to start line where everybody is focused on the Vision. A complete master and years and years of Stevie investing in Martial arts, Developing himself on Business around the world, but more importantly his years of studying human behaviour. When you are able to go 25 years with outstanding continuous testimonial after testimonials it stands testament to the great man.

8.     Stevie always talks about the present and future agenda, Stevie always raises awareness that you have to make sure there's a tomorrow vision, but also makes you aware that you also have to make sure there is a successful today. You need to constantly balance the needs of the company today with what the needs of the company will be tomorrow. 

9.     Stevie is passionate about your Foundation, Purpose, vision and mission for the business, so he asks you "why does your company exist in first place"?, he then challenges you on vision, what is it you are trying to make happen, and also when it does succeed tell me what that looks and feels like?, then he brings it right back and asks to see your plan and meet your people, then the fun begins.

10.  Stevie is very wise in what he does, especially when asking about the Strategic direction of the business, he takes feelings out of everything, he is really good at determining where to go and what the overall strategy of how we get there. We understand now that the Strategic direction is all about the major moves the company needs to make to reach its objectives. We do this by setting and communicating the right company goals first. Next, he helped us define what success looks like. Then, in the words of Stephen Covey, you "begin with the end in mind" and work backwards. Stevie firmly believes in this methodology and is a fan of Steven Covey work. Stevie spent time in New York and Boston studying businesses and got access to CEOs and senior executives to discover business strategies of Apple, Ritz Carlton hotels, Morgan Stanley, Bloomberg, Harvard University, MIT Institute, Carrot, to name a few and then maintained relationships since returning to UK

Who is Stevie Kidd the entrepreneur?

"He sees an opportunity which others do not fully recognise, Stevie has unquenchable self-belief that all opportunities can be made real through very hard work, commitment and the adaptability to learn constantly.

Stevie is not diverted or discouraged by scepticism from 'experts' or from those from whom they seek backing and support, he is willing to weigh all advice up and select from which will be helpful. Stevie is prepared not just to work seriously hard but to back his judgement with his own personal investment which can cause problems if he is wrong about the opportunity, he never fears failure or taking a risk,which he admits he has not always been right but it has been more that other people just never seen what he saw in innovative projects. Stevie understands that achievements are the result of team work and knows how to choose the necessary blend of talents and inspire them all to achieve their vision."

I partnered Stevie kidd as a performance coach and as a Business consultant in my business, Stevie started with myself then moved onto the people within the business, he personally met every single person within the business, initially just listening to all those individual maps and stories before then moving onto inspiring them to be great and align a personal vision for themselves just like a business vision. Stevie has a belief that everyone should invest in themselves as your the number one asset is yourself. In following this strategy we then aligned people to business vision and linked both strategies. 2013 has been very enlightening and a lot has changed for me in business and in personal life, I am now exercising and bringing more of the unknown into my life, 2014 I personally believe it will be amazing year as through Stevie Kidd Leadership, Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship we will partner companies that we never even considered before and cream is we will receive substantial funding to support our company goals and projects, which is due to commence March-April 2014.

My approach was I emailed Stevie and asked simple Questions, I asked Stevie on our first meeting?

Can I have a free, no commitment, no pressure, meeting with you? – YES!

Will you help me to get more customers? – YES!

Will you help me reduce unnecessary costs? – YES!

Will you help me increase my profits? – YES!

Will you help me to be better at running my business? – YES!

Can I speak to other business owners you have helped? – YES!

How long have you been coaching, consulting or developing businesses like mine?  

When we met for the first time I was with Stevie for about 3 hours, but it felt like fifteen minutes, when Stevie left the hotel after our meeting, I sat in chair for a further 30 minutes reflecting on our meeting but feeling totally sunk into the chair, a waitress approached me asking if I was al-right, I simply replied Yes thanks, everything just feels and looks different for some reason. It’s definitely a life changing experience. Stevie asks you question you never ask yourself, experience it for yourself!

I am often asked what if you went to bed that night and thought no he is too much for me? I simply say that would have been a mistake and one I choose not to think about, working with Stevie you very rarely look at the past, as your more focused on the tomorrow you will create for yourself and your family. You only have to look at Stevies portfolio of projects, his businesses over 25 years, his consultation partnerships or even performance coaching partnerships he has had over the last 25 years to see and feel his own objectives in life, which is he believes his work will empower people to change the world of today to become a better tomorrow for everyone.

Thank You Stevie Kidd
