When leaders speak about their meaningful change, it has to be of interest to listeners. If not, they’ll tune out, and it can be difficult, if not impossible, to get them to tune back in. In this episode, Jonathan considers whether his vision is of interest to those he sees could help him realize it. But could it be they’re too preoccupied right now to even have it on their radar?
SHOW NOTES
00:00 Amplify Card 26: What interests them?
01:20 There’s a deep sense of worry about whether we are sharing a factual reality together. That’s when we start to lose our bearings even more.
06:00 We all have a deep need for privacy – to take refuge in our homes without intrusion.
08:15 What could be more important than how we connect?
11:25 Something else has changed. We’re losing the sense that we share a common sense of what’s happening.
15:03 A stranger’s offer of help.
18:25 Imagine if those in your collective asked, “Can I help”?
21:00 What would happen if you could show all the homeless the way home?
26:10 What if I spent a year just talking to the homeless? What could mean more?
28:00 The story of the young girl’s Lady Bug Campaign.
30:00 The change you ignite is at the level of what is most significant to you.
33:50 If what you see is a shared home, that makes your vision quite distinct.
36:40 The shared home is also out there on the street, in the city centre, in the world.
37:50 The question is what “interests” them, not what “concerns” them.
38:40 This is too big not to be preoccupied with.
42:30 Does it have to be on their radar?
43:38 I have to start with the idea that my vision would resonate. I have to have faith.
45:50 The question again: Is this change of interest to them?
47:20 If the vision has come from a long process of insight, it must contain some truth that will resonate with other people – even those I don’t know yet.
52:00 The beginning of the movement: Familiarity, belonging and recognition. Connection.
