Money and kids

Overheard sound have a money shortage: I hand him 5000 on his bed , he wasn't quite awake and take it . After all , he hand the 5000 back to me .
Ask fruit to do her laundry - it's a month long battle between her mom , she know I am going abroad , so do it this evening , after she hang those machine wash clothes, I decide to give her 10.000 and mentions this is for her coming Birthday. She didn't response, she is so money driven but not willing to make effort to earn it .
It's not a test. I am only to satisfy kids need while I can and to witness the different reactions.

Not everyone

Not Everyone can express themselves well
Not everyone is nature born speaker
Not everyone can communicate with 5 senses
Not everyone can be good leader
Not everyone can deliver his message loud and clear
So Everyone need to be accepted and supported

Knock knock and tap tap

I wasn't sleep well last night , it's a coming back of nightmare . He tapped my left shoulder and whisper something with my ear , I can't remember any word , but it annoyed me all night.
I have to pretend someone love me is by my side and protect me - it's not a daydream but a night dream ...
wake up 4:00 am and to clean my body toxic with my hands .. and the thinking surface :
-- I've been thinking for a long while , since I took up many one on one coaching these days , to follow my coach ethic , I should not mention anything anywhere to anybody . so in forum meeting, the I don't know what to Update ? and I don't know what value I can bring to my forums ? So I would like to take sabbatical and keep contact with you one one on one basis..

A long shot coaching

Not sure why it happens but it does , Philbert contact me via linkin , I seldom check it but today and I did respond and lead to whatsapp for convenience. Philbert is YPO HK members who told me we had a fundamental workshop 4 years ago
He refer Fish - a young man who has a dream in music industry but kind of puzzle in his pursuing , so I did a telecom sharing just now and it seems that it works for him .
A long shot but worth of doing ..

Crystal in HK chapter 2

Enjoy my lunch alone at " jade & maxim " restaurant location inside HK airport .. i order one tasty HK style stew and roast pork to go with their signature fries rice .. it's a full content meal .
Crystal arrived earlier so we begin session by 13:20 at the cafe she choose . The ice breaker I design is :
1. What place or place make you feel comfortable when alone ? As I check her update again. I am resonate with 3 place : airport lounge , on the flight , breakfast out of town .
2. Process :
- conclude how many P/F/B as du she sent and to extract feelings as a monthly reflection before we start
- identify words I associate with in the monthly update which I can trigger to 1) deep dive 2) clearly my question 3) lead or be the change driver for WWH 4) provide me experience or resonate.
- taken and identify some Issues to share and exchange ideas
- administrative : next session / do good / can be better .
Take Away :
- 3 goals for remaining year : follow the money ( biz ) / follow the people ( management ) / follow the affection ( personal life )
By utilize both head and heart , I hold the space and lead a good 4 hours of confidential coaching session , I am blessed for what I do and willing to do more and do better .

Crystal HK in person chapter 1

Taking 10:15 flight to HK for the first in person session with crystal .
It's a 8 business seat small aircraft, the gentleman sit next to me wearing a suit and put on smile , I nod my head as a courtesy when taking me window seats .
Seated for a while , he kindly hand me local newspaper and ask if I want to read : the greeting is " I take extra copy of today's newspaper, would you like to read ? " since I am about to prepare those monthly Update which I just compline and print at Eva air lounge , I kindly declined his good will .. as a return to his good Gesture. I stared the conversation and ask " what kind of newspaper you read normally " this is to openly invite him to talk about his understanding of Taiwan political environment, every newspaper have their prefer party to support and will bias to the news they covers . Then we exchange basic topic such as " Why going to HK? "" what you do in HK ? " my profession as coach cause many interest , he is no exception . His job is even interesting to me : This is his first day duty report to work in HK as " non official foreign representative " trading & culture center in HK "
We exchange a few common dialogue and I return to work and took a nap before landing . Walking out of the airplane cabinet , he shake hand hard and thanks for my congrats and wish him a successful tenure in HK ..it's a talking to stranger story

Moonlighting boy

Little , chimon and black is one person in 3 different personality and it's a struggle between ego & self ...
I take it as an indie / art film as this is hard to digest , After watch it. I know it's impossible for me to get it if I went for it at New York and watch the screen with no English / Chinese subtitle .

7 millions and the fear

Suddenly I realized my personal cash saving up to 7 millions now , not to include the insurance which can accumulate another 3 millions NT : this is by far my cash richest moment in life and I am blessed to save them as my safety net .
Fear about the dream. Dream about lost my sights and those cash can do little to make me happy .
Learn to accept death and prepare to die will be a lesson to me .
Mother sign the DNR yesterday ... Meiling always bias about who to the one of the 2 witness . I don't like this feeling of pushing and bias ..

US reflection

Less spending on the trip if not counting the air tickets ( actually it's mileage redeem for upgrade ) and YPO package ( it's a coaching expense so to speak ) . I don't eat at any decent restaurant ( if you want to count Robert at New York design and art museum) and buy almost nothing ( the most expensive one is Motorola wifi earphone ) for transposition , use taxi 3 times between airport to hotel , the rest is walking in New York and Uber at LA.
Costume cost me a few and this is purchase in taipei ..
no recreational spending is so exceptional , even the massage.... movie is the only entertainment I did in The States and not much as well .
Grammy ? Good event but I use 1/4 of the time coaching client so it doesn't count a full experience.
And the rest ? I should
1. Finish 4 workshop material ( done )
2. Finish reading the book ( black dog - I am working in on the flight - now it's so bumping )


Roger

Jason

This is not I expected to talk now : I want to buy some other time to do it with you ..
It's a career development not a business issue .
Take Away :
1. It's a Fact or Feeling ? A process or result ?
2. Owner mentally: Everything is possible; Coaching phase : For those impossible, it only takes longer.
3. To check the feeling , you need to find right time and right place to do it .
4. Leaders seize the moment to perform the magic , it's beyond skill or art .
5. If I am good , company is good
6. We don't really check our priority semutenusely - so we hold the wrong expectation .
7. You scan before react .
8. If you don't take the ball , you might escalate to someone who don't intend to take it also .


Roger

Bold turn to a concrete result

I am excited but not overly exited , it's a 100.000 USD / annual coaching plan .. I am blessed to have the deal approve in 24 hours .. I am offering and deliver value they received:
From Self -Esteem to Believe-to Confidence and transfer to the power of influence .

Working today

My 4:00 in the morning bath update to Linda is an instinct to drive Sean's green light , I don't know it will work our or not , I am trying my way .
Hanes morning , Hanes told me it's a one and half month window since late Dec. my opening is pretty long : from my reflection to Grammy and the life I live with coachee , what transcend me is the connection with differing people in there pinnacle life and to stimulate and spark each other's life : as the word inspiring : In Spirit with someone .
Working my Eden file to print at Ambassador hotel , having been kick out yet ... it's a blur situation here and it's fine with me.
Done con-call with Mei Yang in regard to Yu Ping and foundations development / co-work with director... short and sweet ... conversation is communication- tango is dialogue .
Almost forget the session with Hubert .. I am here now .


Roger

Working mode

Yesterday, I take a easy and lazy mode on my first US returning day : visit Yi Lan for a short dry run - concludes a few things and done John Wick : chapter 2 with Meiling
What's bold yesterday is to mark Sean's coaching program package same as Linda : 100.000 US per year , I don't mind if Linda ok with this quotation or not , I am in for my own will .. with or without the payment . But it's a psychological game I assumed. Bold and morning to lose .

Palm reading part 2

1. Passing of any relative or soulmates
2. You are so wise / a wiseman

Roger

Now I need to observe my emotion

Clear my air : I buy my own tickets to Grammy so I am not obliged to abandon my rights in enjoy what I pay for and to follow YPO group active protocols . And for linda and her team
1. She is not most business person in the world
2. She is not the most important people to me
3. The Grammy experience and YPO experience is not a big deal for them
So it's even out. I do clear my air and If I manage to hand them the ticket by 4:30 pm , it should be fine . Otherwise , I can only say I am sorry and say it once only .
This is how I am clear my own air now and let go the emotion .
It's time to enjoy my 2nd Grammy experience.

Reflection

1. Lucy can out of her comfort zone and embrace the world she don't know before
2. Not every American understand the complicated situation between Taiwan & China . For those visit Taiwan before love us
3. Ning - Lucy's husband who I met the first time . Smilies to Sean to Linda - house husband mainly
4. Met Todd the Santiago forum we met in Taiwan ; Todd the CFF who come to Taiwan also , Brandon family and the son : Connor who love Steve Vai , the studio owner ? Frank the subway & domino pizza guy who bring a younger someone
5. Japanese : 3 years new member with his daughter
6. Who win the singing competition : the younger the better
7. Fortune teller / body massage / Carriurstor / lucky draw never fail in any event .
8. CFF is a easy role to be ice breaker

The palm reader last night

Her name is India and this is how she say about me :
1. Right palm :
- life line is long , and career begin early , many things interact with me and I had a clear middle line to keep them with me and not cross the line .
- family line is good , she see me had a boy and girl and possibly the third one ?.
- had a soul mate for long - kind of subtly explain my soul mate ( well at that moment I am thinking about Steve Vai )
2. Left palm :
- many success before ( many A symbol ) and each go straight reaching the finger top
- the left side upper line is deep , clear and reaching even topper , and this is what I am doing now , every powerful and very successful, the best is yet to come
- you are doing something very different
And she congrats on my good palm ( fortune ) and I asked her name .
She told me her name is : India and give me her business card : need a palm reader at the party ....

Never ending complaining

Once you raised the issue about our lack of parenting when Fruit was little , Meiling become so defensive and accuse I am the one least care about our child .
Well I can only listen and thanks god I am thousands mile away and can put my phone further and do my own thing but let her go pouring out whatever she want to say .
It's not who started or pick the fights ..it's a shadow to Meiling and she can't really get over it .
Had my 3rd breakfast at the same restaurant at Wiltshire bullevald .. and the call can just move away the unpleasant nagging complaint cloud .

If I can make it happy , it will be a happening to something

How surprising

Lucy Wang is hear .. how surprise to see her sing up the YPO Grammy weekend experience and good to intro linda to her ...

This is truly a small world
Not so many people knows who Steve Vai is now ... different approach for both of us

Linda's Mansion

It's a 200 years old big house near by the Mission Church .
And her staffs working not only in the office but in the house .. the girls power do everything: deco the house , doing the cook and serve the table - they are all Chinese
It's a simply yet interesting dinner - 7 ( the one come the last : young gentlemen who I don't know) and the rest are Grammy delegation .
And the side dish is : a professional massage master come to the house perform his expertise to each one of us : I am the first to call -- as coach and it's a benefit.
At the scene I share Sound's schooling story from forest primary school until today .
Madman Ma is from Life Academy - what a good surprise...
Uber come down here cost me 3200 NT , now on my way back - see how much



Roger

Steve good to see you

You said in Dubai when in the car with Norbert and you feel tension and I observed and said to you "Relax " that's your take Away in the whole trip .
I reply with " in this world , we didn't how people did with others and no matter how trivial it is , the ripple is creates "
You enjoy transsexual story and how big the fathers heart and ask how I did the coaching ? I said listening , people don't know in this world in what occasion anyone really empathy listen to you .
Generation X : Taipei date changes and I will make HK and Taipei 2 good gathering for you .
Woodstock music school : sounds amazing and you will work on it as social contributions.
Family dinner is the thing we resonate much and we exchange the reflection on " writing to the 16 you" and your letter to the 16th you is : you are doing ok ... the words no one told you at 16th.
Touring and traveling: the lost and lost to make up .
And the master class : you are there and you ain't there wake you up to " listening "
Yes . 2018 March EDGE be my guest .

Linda Pili Pala

Linda just kick Perry out of the conference room and said :
1. You earn a great deal Perry
2. Yueh Chi is so famous and so expensive
3. You are so lucky to have such a free session .
And after this " out of my room " instruction , she asked :
1. What's your coaching routine and what should we do about ours ?
2. Ok we should do weekly update and twice a week telecom coaching and once a quarter in person's session .
3. The rest of about Sean : and how she thinks it is the main course contribute to her health issue ..
it's too much and too heavy to digest and I need to find a place to set and sit myself .
Now I am at 9th floor of " art & design museum " a place call " Robert " a beautiful restaurant and this count my 3 restaurant experience in New York : Su Chuang / India and fusion America .


Roger

What linda asked for ?

It's positive or negative, to me it should all be possible... I know it's trigger by Sean when I send Sean and do a kick off with him the other day .. those standard process never happen to Linda and we are guessing on how to better our experience.
I am the change agency but not the change driver - to linda , everything is important which means she don't have a mindset about " what's important in life and now ?" And to prioritize them and focus on those .
She need someone to monitor but at the same time she must know coach is not here to teach but to " ask and to support on her intention to change "


Roger

What I do differently this time in New York

1. No sex shop shopping and visit
2. No Luxury good shopping

4. No against jet lag
5. No in town taxi - only airport transpiration
6. Generosity on tipping
7. Fewer movie
8. Less English practicing
9. No ( open switch on once ) in room watching TV
10. No ( very few ) English reading



Roger

Too many update and no blogging

I am not sure what make a difference between update exchange with my coachee and my personal Update ?
If I may - to segment the 3 lives we live : public life is what you can or don't record as it's a normal life ; Private life is where you exchange Update mainly and sometimes to touch with emotion and feeling part . Personal blogs can be seen as a " secret life " free range for you and it's up to you what you wish to plants.
I liked it " science is to discover what's been there , artists is to create what's not existing. They both try to integrated the law of order / scientists do it externally, artist do it internally "

Yip TV meeting

It's a big data - cloud computing company linda invest 2 millions usd and tried to utilized it's technology for her other investment: Jobs Tank - a high level advance search / recruiting platform she heavily believed.
I am invited to join the 3 months after presentation- demo session this morning .
I am not quite how this tech leverage can help jobs DB and my personal learning are :
1. When candidate sigh up for the services , he / she must uploaded and detailed in providing data & the client ( recruiter ) need to perform the same efforts too , to me it's an " non value added " action to both once reciting fails , how the so call " business intelligence " can be realized to revenue / profit .
2. On the job Search for job opportunities not really decided to leave current job ( what's the percentage " the mapping success rate is hard to justified its function.
3. Between the jobs : do they wish to honestly uploaded everything ( good and not so great ) personal information to the third party ?
4. Job fit is only one part in marriage the search : org fit and culture fit can't be identified here - how can this big plan have company such as gallop to support its cloud in " strength finder 2.0 " ?
5. Follow up and execution : who to lead / monitor and measure the project with good knowledge about : start up / investment/ data clouding / service offers

Reflection on Steve Hawkins

Steve can't move , so he don't need to do anything but to think -
Steve is slow , so he take time to think , think is round and think is well .
Steve can't mobile to lab as normal professors , so he create everything in his brains and produce the result based on his imagination before other proof .
Steve seldom disclosed his inner feeling to others , even to his wife : so you can't really know how his physic constrains and pain influence on him .
Steve love plays / classical music / opera / dramas and he goes to concerts - for a man on wheel , how he appreciate art is amazing .
We think Steve is normal because he act normal and didn't disclose how the disability impact his life .
