Course 3: PL 102 - One Key Metric (Discussion 5)

@GlenM

1. Work with your team or mentor and identify the key metric you are hoping to help move. Post daily (or the cadence that makes sense) in the  3 key things thread to highlight what you are doing to help us move 7 Cups forward. Please post here why this goal of choosing a single metric is important. Think of how this is important in your professional life, but also how this can help you personally as well.

I think choosing a single metric is very important in my professional life as well as my personal life. This is because it guides me and keeps me organised and with structure, keeps me on track and focussing on something long term which would mean improving on that single thing.

2. (TW: themes that deal with death) Read chapter 12 and do the exercise where you imagine it is the end of your life. If comfortable, post what you imagine people saying to you at the conclusion of the exercise. If not comfortable, then please share how the exercise impacted you. What you imagine them telling you is your compass. If you are acting in a way that is consistent with what they are saying, then it is very likely that you will end up living a meaningful life. Remember to listen to and follow this compass so as not to be distracted by the clock.

Well, I think people would speak fairly well of me, since a funeral is mostly going to be full of people who were my friends and family etc, then I'm hoping it would all be nice talk lol. I think people would mention how kind I was, I think I'm pretty kind to everyone, so I hope they notice that and feel that, but sometimes I can be easily angered. I'm sure some people in life won't care, but there's always going to be people who don't care about a certain thing. There's also going to be people who don't like someone. But I hope the people who care and who I care about do feel that I care about them as well. :)

Choosing a single metric is important as it helps you to understand better and focus more on the one thing rather than trying to focus on multiple things. This is important and can help me so that I don't have to juggle multiple metrics and instead I can focus on the one to build it up better.

This exercise impacted me by making me think more in depth, it also impacted me to aspire to become better.

1. It is becoming better and helping others for me.
Goal of choosing the single metric makes it more simple to see where I am currently and where is my goal.

2. That impacted me very strong. I've seen that friendship is most important for me now. And some recognition from people too. Moreover, I felt like they'd be guilty for that they didn't understand me some time in past. That means for me that I don't live consistently with what is most important to me. That I was threating them too much that I'd be gone and that won't make them sad but it did. So, I also seek for more understanding and for being less fighting with them. That they think I'm better that I imagine. I remember to listen to it as my compass on my way to better life.

Posted in the forum, a key metric would help me be a better listener and leader and help me manage my time better and more productively .

The last lesson was a great read also, I really liked the explanation for the four quadrants in life and how we can align our interaction in these to live a meaningful life .

awesome exercise, I'd want myself to be remembered as someone who cared , someone who genuinely cared and made people feel wanted and accepted, I'd like to be remembered for my compassion, my humility, my positive attitude , my cheerfulness and my supportive and ambitious nature .

Only getting better at this , one day at time 😊❤

My key metric is listening, I think listening skills are more valuble than gold these days. Most of the worlds problems would be fixed, If people just listened to one another and worked with each other.

I would not prefer to share

@GlenM

1. While I do try to participate in the community whenever possible, I believe I can do more. The single key metric, for me, is consistency. Choosing a single metric is important because it allows one to maintain focus instead of getting distracted by multiple goals.

2. Chapter 12 is quite thought-provoking. Most people wonder what people would say about them b behind their back, or after they die. People would always have something to say, which is why I personally don't really pay much attention unless the other person is offering constructive feedback. Nevertheless, I think I would just want people to be honest about me, especially those who know me. Other than that, I'm pretty okay with whatever would be said at the end, because I strive to know myself and acknowledge my positive, as well as negative, points.

The goal of choosing a single metric is important both in my professional life and personal life because I can slowly improve day by day, week by week, month by month, and eventually year by year. This way I can gradually grow in my professions and also in my individual capacity to become a person who is more “capable”

I hope that people will tell me that my compass was always being full of live, being a great family member of a friend, and worked hard for others. Although this chapter and this experience was quite heavy as I have never imagined my own mortality, I feel like this has made me to feel more motivated to work towards becoming the person who I would like to be remembered as when I die.

This is what I posted on 3 key things:

-being non judgemental and opened towards the members

-giving honest feedbacks and encouragements towards other listeners

-checking-in with members from times to times and being patience with them

One single metric I'm working on is "being non judgmental and opened towards the members", this can be expanded to not only the members but also towards everyone that I interact with. Having 1 single metric help me to refocus and not be overwhelmed when thing gets busy. It can also be a long term goal that help me develop everyday for a long time. This metric reminds me to treat others with empathy, and therefore help me to see things from other's viewpoint, I will then be better at understanding their underlying motivation and difficulties. Thus, this can help to resolve conflicts and differences.

At the end of my life, a few people apologized for me for have not appreciated me enough... a few praised me for my creative and unique approach to management and work... most praised that I was kind and caring and help them appreciate life more. This exercise help me to realise that:

1) living true to myself and my vision is very important to me, even if it's against the norm in the present moment. Being creative or do creative work is a part of living true to myself.

2) being kind, caring towards others and help uplift others is also an important part in my life.

I'm doing both the above but sometimes one need is conflicted with the other, for example the need to be myself can look like I don't care about others, while uplifting others is very important to me. I would like to solve this by being able to make creative works (which allow me to be myself) that also help other in someways, or I can look into works like teaching, creative therapy,...
