Levels of Consciousness

• Creative: authentic, adaptable, hope-giving

• Controlling: image-driven, attention hungry, chameleonic

• Destructive: plagiarizing, sabotaging, prostituting

Shock point fear (the fear that causes the slip from Creative to Controlling consciousness) 

I’m falling behind others and will be overshadowed

Examples of shock point fears

• My friend was just asked to speak at a leadership conference

• My classmate got 100% on the final exam and I only got 99% which means I won’t be getting into Harvard and will have to settle on Yale

• My dad clapped for my sister more than me when we were sharing our achievements

• Someone did an excellent job writing a book I wish I’d written even though I’m not a writer

Why I get provoked I feel like I’m not competent enough to get the job done, I can’t steer people toward the goal, others are getting ahead of me, I don’t have it all together, or I’m failing in any aspect of life either you or I value (because what you value is what I value until there’s something more important)

How I cope with shame I become The Achievement Machine. I get things done like no one else, constantly pushing forward, seeking acclaim, connecting with the bigwigs, and showing what I can do, all to make you see that I’m actually the best – at life – but I’m also so generous that I’m ready to tell how you can follow in my footsteps too (just a little bit behind me)

My Emotions slow me down so I conveniently live without them as much as I like
