Monday Motivation On A Tuesday. Are People Threatened By Your Strengths?

Good morning, everybody. We're gonna try this again. Yesterday I had some technical issues going on with whether it's the screen. I have no idea what was exactly happening. But from whether it's the sound, whether it was my voice coming through, or the screen itself, it almost turned like a hazy green. So the best part is we start over and that is okay. Again, my name is Luke Wendtlandt. I'm so excited to be here with you today. It is a. A amazing Monday. Motivation Tuesday, a taco Tuesday. Here we go.

But really excited about what we gotta share today. Number one, if you didn't listen to Nicki Molette's live just 30 minutes ago, that was wonderful. Asking for help and how to ask for help. Some of those things I haven't done and haven't recently done. So a couple of those topical areas, considerations like, wow, I should try that. Asking for help is definitely a superpower. Good morning, Chris. Good morning, Joe Pajoy. It's always good to see every. Good morning, junk food junkie. What an awesome Tuesday.

We're leaning into already my topical area consideration today. I'm really, really excited about. I'm going to shut off my, my little tune that I got going on there. My top glaring consideration today is, you know, I believe two things to be true. And if you heard a little bit about this on Monday before my technical issues and gaffes started coming up, you're going to hear it today, hopefully more crystal clear. Number one, I believe everybody, I believe every human being has superpowers. I believe that to be true.

Hey, Donna. Hi, donnas. I believe that to be true. I believe we all have superpowers. Whether it's our capacity or ability to hear, whether it is stamina, whether it is your strength and listening, whether it's your intelligence, whether it's communication, whether it's artistic, whether it's your ability to be quiet. Maybe you're an amazing introvert. I believe all of us on this planet have superpowers. The second thing I know to be true is somebody else's superpower can be a threat to a lot of individuals on this planet.

Somebody's superpower of their strength can come across as you being threatened by what they have, what they possess, what exists in their life. And here's a couple things that I do to reframe that. Number one, when I work with these individuals or I support other individuals, the first thing I always try to do is I try to figure out the strengths of the human beings that I'm working with and put them in positions of success to ultimately be able to showcase those strengths. Number one, by no stretch of the imagination, is that an insecurity.

For me, I believe it's multiplying other human beings, and multiplying other human beings is our job as leaders. So we never, if somebody else has the unbelievable ability to connect with other human beings and draw culture and all of that, don't use that as an insecurity like, oh, I can't do that. Don't self reflect that way. Self reflect is what an unbelievable way that somebody else can draw attention to our mission, to our brand, to our personality of a business. Typically, what I find so often is somebody else's strengths immediately have to go to your insecurities of one of your weaknesses.

So I want you to rephrase that. I want you to rephrase that, to showcase that, to tell people what's another thing you can do is compliment. Compliment unto other individuals and give gratitude. And when you give gratitude for other individual strengths or complement their strengths, what ends up happening is your insecurities kind of flutter away. So, for example, Chris Edrington, who I saw on this live today, he is unbelievable when it comes down to his directness, when it comes down to his capacity to build a team with mission.

Why would I be insecure about that? The farthest thing from it, I lean into that all the time. Like, gosh, you're so good at that. And you're excellent communicator when how direct you can be. And sometimes, you know, with us empaths, we use that as insecurity of like, oh, I can't believe somebody would do that when the reality is like, put lean into that and give somebody a compliment to how they can do things. For example, I see another individual on the live stream today, Donnas, patience. You know something?

I'm impulsive. I go quicker. I go faster. You know, Donnas has this unbelievable ability to be patient and continue to be patient through the transition, sales, you name it, where I'm impulsive and emotional and say, gosh, let's go. So it's not about me. It's not about my insecurities as myself. It's about the strength of others and building up those strengths. So the next time that the opportunity comes, it's going to rise and it'll probably be even today that you see something from somebody else that is actually somebody's superpower strength sticking out.

I do not want you to immediately think and go to your head, go to your spot internally and internalize somebody else's strength as this is a flaw of mine, what ends up happening in those moments. And we've all been there. We've all been there where you will be in conversations with other human beings. And there is an opportunity to build somebody up or to cut off their legs. Okay? There's an opportunity to build somebody up or cut off their legs. And I always try to lean into the 51%, always to lift somebody up.

Sure, none of us are perfect. And there's that 49% exists where we've cut off other individuals legs before. But when you're involved in conversation or communication, talking about other human beings, being around other individuals, do you lift them up even when they're not in the room? Or do you find ways to still cut them down due to your deep rooted insecurities? So I leave you today with we all have superpowers. Every one of us, God's gift to the world. We have our superpowers. And that is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Number two, how do we showcase them? How do we showcase them? Tethers. And last but not least, if you're on the receiving end of somebody's superpower compliment, be supportive, be grateful. And last but not least, whatever you do, do not look at somebody else's genius as a flaw internally and an insecurity of your own. Okay? Have a wonderful, wonderful Tuesday. JC is coming up momentarily with your outward facing click. I love his commentary and for me, it's just amazing. Nikki's message was really, really good today, too, by the way.

And then a fabulous, incredible human being from St. Louis, Doctor Leslie, will be on at noon today for, I think it's tea time or coffee time. Cup of tea, cup of coffee with Doctor Leslie today. We all, every one of us is in the midst of learning from Doctor Leslie. That's all I got to say about that. She is absolutely incredible. Kindness to other goes a long way to lift them up. You got that junk food junkie. Thank you, donnas. But these are just some things that you can really, really lean into to have moments of your day, moments of your life that otherwise can breed negativity into your brain, to flip that switch and say, just, you know how my strength is to do ABC.

They have those too. And that doesn't mean I'm bad at it. That means they're really good at it. Okay, take care, everybody. Have a wonderful Tuesday. Enjoy tacos with the family tonight. And it's always the best to see you all. That's why I do what I do. Take care, you guys. Bye.
