Calling all goal-oriented, focused folk. Are you a Destination Life Lens™?
October 6th, 2010
To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing. ~ (Eva Young)
Do you like to focus on getting where you’re going, where you’re headed, what you’re trying to achieve? Do you put your time and energy into achieving your goals, reaching your objectives, getting things done? Are you decisive and quick to act (because the faster you decide, the faster you’ll reach your goal)?
If so perhaps you’re a Destination Life Lens or know someone else who is a Destination, one of the 8 Life Lenses™.
Destination Life Lenses™ are known for having no limit to the number of things they’re trying to accomplish and get done. Peer into their brain, back pocket or PDA or and you’ll likely find a number of things they’re aiming for. They’ll look at people who say they have nothing to do with a baffled expression on their face, that situation being unlikely for them. Destination Life Lenses™ likely have a well-developed coterie of ways of reaching their goals. They’re interested in services and products that will help them be more efficient, things that will help them achieve what they’re trying to accomplish.
I have a particular colleague in mind who gets excited when she crosses things off her list. I mean really excited. This may sound weird but she even has a certain way to cross things off her list, she crosses it off not once but twice and she checks the item off as well. Cross, cross, check is like a mantra for her. When she cross, cross, checks she feels accomplished. For a moment, she thinks ‘ahhhh, I’ve arrived, I did it’, that is until she’s off to achieving her next goal.
Does my colleague’s example make you want to hide from any so called lists? Does the idea of having clearly defined goals make you want to hurl, knowing planning your next meal is a challenge let alone your life? Do you see life as best experienced as a meandering path versus a straight line (meaning you’ll figure it out alone the way and change things up as you go along)? If so then you may be the opposite of a Destination Life Lens™ which is a Journey Life Lens™.
Life Lenses™ is an interactive, self-assessment tool designed to identify the invisible lenses that you wear, the lenses that colour your perspective and shape how you see the world. Life Lenses™ teaches you how to see yourself, understand others and makes communicating easier than you ever imagined it could be.
The countdown has begun. Life Lenses™ will be available online in 8 days.
The global launch is Friday, October 8th in Paris, France.

Calling all wayward travelers. Are you a Journey Life Lens™?
October 6th, 2010
It is the journey that matters in the end (Ursula LeGuin)
Do you focus on how something gets done? Can how something gets done be more important to you than actually getting it done? Is your eye on the journey? Are you flexible about the way you take to reach a destination (a destination being getting a report written, a meeting facilitated, a product launched etc)?
If so perhaps you’re a Journey Life Lens or know someone else who is a Journey, one of the 8 Life Lenses™.
Journey Life Lenses™ are known for being able to change direction quickly if the need arises. Everything pointed towards completing a certain project? Journey Life Lenses™ won’t hesitate to step in and say ‘what’s your rush’, ’slow down’, ‘how about we change it and do it this way’. If you were to follow behind them, tracing a line of the path they leave, that line would likely not be straight. It might meander over this way, then that and even disappear over the horizon, its destination being unclear for the moment.
A colleague of mine is an extreme Journey Life Lens™. She thinks nothing of dropping whatever she’s focused on at the moment, changing directions and heading off on a whole new path. She’s terrific at bringing people along with her, checking in to see if all is well, gaining ownership and buy-in along the way. It may take her longer to get something ‘done’ but you can be sure the process she’s used was thorough and well-though out.
Does my friend’s example make you want to join her on her meandering journey? Does the idea of not always being clear where you’re headed sound like a pretty darn fine way to work? Does the flexibility add a sense of adventure? Does the focus on how you get there make complete and total sense? Are you enchanted by the fact that the above picture doesn’t include where the road started or where it’s going? If so you may be a Journey Life Lens™.
Does the idea of following a map that doesn’t have a clear destination, plus defined markers along the way, makes you want to tear your hair out and yell ‘what’s the point of having a map if you don’t know where you’re going! Puleeeez people!’ Are you a little irked by the fact that the above picture doesn’t include where the road started or where it’s going? If you think spending lots of time figuring out how to do something would be better spent just doing it, then you may be the opposite of a Journey Life Lens™ which is a Destination Life Lens™.
Life Lenses™ is an interactive, self-assessment tool designed to identify the invisible lenses that you wear, the lenses that colour your perspective and shape how you see the world.
