Here are the strategies
Barry selects from when customizing a Filling the Glass session for an
organization.
Which strategies
are included and to what extent depends upon the needs of the organization and
the length of the session.
Never Underestimate the Power of a Little Incentive:
Concentrate on the What's-In-It-For-Them and
the What's-In-It-For-You will usually take care of itself. (Something we
all realize but forget far too frequently.)
Make the Skeleton
Dance: Great communicators don't hide potential
negatives and they certainly don't stumble over them. Great communicators
use potential negatives as selling points. They even brag about them.
Be Your Own Guru:
After all, Stephen Covey can't be with you
when all those thousands of little decisions that lead toward your goals
or away from your goals have to be made.
Build the Human Relationship:
This segment can include any number of
verbal and non-verbal communication techniques for vastly increasing your
"relatability” and helping you succeed with individuals of all types.
Change the Scale:
Perspective is everything. If you're 35 or
45 or 55 and filled with regret over the chances you've let slip by,
imagine how you're going to feel when you're 85. And what you would give
for the years of opportunity you have now.
Enjoy: Sure you're anxious to reach your long-term
goals. But the more enjoyable you can make the journey towards those
goals, the more likely you and those around you are to be able to sustain
the effort it takes to get there.
Fill the Glass:
Never settle for half empty or half full.
Fill the glass. Ideally until your cup runneth over.

Glass can help anyone: Strategies Can Help Anyone:
