We are living lives of habits and patterns ruled unconsciously by
fear The 3 core fears in life:
1. I am not worth loving/ I am not good enough2. I am unsafe in some way3. Death, separation or abandonment
These fears are usually embedded by the time we are 5 despite the
great intentions of our parents!www.amandagore.com
Feel Good About Yourself
This is actually the most important point.
The most important thing in life is how you feel about yourself - because that affects every other
aspect of your life - especially your performance.
A person who feels good
about themselves can focus on
making others feel good
about themselves!
This makes for a great
colleague or boss.
www.amandagore.com
When you feel great about yourself, you can
focus on making everyone else feel great
about themselves - the secret of success!
www.amandagore.com
The reason you feel so great when you are 'in
love' with someone else – (before you see their
warts and your own) - is because you finally see
yourself in your astonishing spiritual
nature …and you fall in love with
YOURSELF
www.amandagore.com
Remember to see yourself as a joy
facilitator . Your mission should
you choose to accept it, is to help
everyone else discover their own
joy - or at least have joyful moments
around you.www.amandagore.com
A joyful workplace is 43% more productive, (HayGroup)
has 51% lower turnover (Gallup)
and has 125% less burnout (HBR)

A leader’s job is to: Change peoples behaviors by telling
them a story that touches their hearts and makes them want to change.
Create an environment in which people can be the best they can be - joy filled and fear free.
Help people believe in themselves - belief in your own ability is a better predictor of success than any level of skill.

Neurons that fire together wire

Keep Learning Change is
great for your brain - it keeps you smart and young! It keeps you learning, growing and developing.
www.amandagore.com
Life is all about FARCing, UN FARCing and RE FARCing! Learning, unlearning and re-learning!
To re-hardwire our brains we need to FARC! Which stands for:
F Focus on the behaviour/habit/pattern you want to change
A Attention and Awareness - be aware of what fears trigger that behaviour/habit/pattern
R Repetition - repeat the new behaviours
C Celebration - celebrate any changes! No matter how small!
How to Change: FARC

Your job today is to
start rewiring the brain for joy!
The smart brain (pre frontal cortex) controls the impulsive brain (limbic system) but not until our mid 20's!The impulsive brain is fully formed at birth and our
Amygdala is wired for fear from the minute we are born.
The first emotion in response to change is FEAR
www.amandagore.com
When you feel fear
- if it's not in response to real physical danger,
say 'thank you Ammy
but not now!' and breathe.
www.amandagore.com
Watch for these fears
F.O.W.O.TFear of what others
thinkNo one else is thinking about you - they are
too busy wondering what YOU are thinking
about them!
www.amandagore.com
F.O.FFear of the future or
Fear of failure
It's a waste of time! STOP IT!
Live in the present - be conscious of experiencing the present moment and
STOP the second you think of the past or the future - the past is gone and the
future has not happened yet!www.amandagore.com
Fear of Separation
Connect your head to your
heart
Connect your heart to other
people’s hearts
Connect your heart to the heavens
Get connected
www.amandagore.com
Epigenetics and Bruce Lipton tells us in The Biology of Belief that our beliefs control our genes. Look deeply - what ARE your beliefs and fears? They become the STORY - the FAIRY story you tell yourself about yourself, your colleagues, your customers or clients, your boss, your family - your partner.
You can change your story any time you want to.
What Story are you telling yourself?
www.amandagore.com
What do you believe about your children? What story do you tell yourself about your children - all of them? Even if you don't say it out loud, they will know it!
What Story are you telling your children?

We don't see reality, we perceive and judge.
We can't see the whole picture in most cases - we only see our narrow
perspective. Be open…
open to knowing that you know very little! Try to see a bigger picture
in every case.

For example, when an a cappella group of 4 are
working together perfectly in
harmony, a fifth voice develops
Out of nowhere, magic happens and a new sound is created.
Do your part to be a team
member. Be a joy facilitator in
the team.
The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

When you feel stressed or tense or need a lift - take two deep breaths and blow the air out forcefully. This brings in oxygen and blows out toxins.
Put on your oxygen mask!

DA's - mini ones or big
