“We awaken, challenge, and together we transform a few individuals, teams, and leaders into ONE. ONE, distinct and deeply connected, that is BTL.” These two sentences are the BTL “P” in our OPUS. The purpose, the reason behind why we are here and what we do with our work. Over the next few rants, I’m going to attempt to unpack what this means with the hopes that it will help Y.O.U. as you author yours.
Lets start with what is behind the word awaken. Most humans are not awake. Most are sleepwalking through life at least to some degree. Our purpose is to help our clients awaken fully. Like a paramedic of sorts we perform a variety of assessments to determine your level of alertness. Our aim is “awake and oriented times four.” Here are the four questions that lead to this discovery. First, lets look at the questions a paramedic would ask you when they first arrived on the scene of your accident. Here they are.
1. Do you know your name?
2. Do you know where you are?
3. Do you know what time it is?
4. Do you know what just happened?
If you were able to answer all questions correctly, the paramedic would determine that you are alert and oriented times four. If you could only answer the first, a&o times one, and so on and so forth. Your answers to these questions determine the level that your brain has been concused and determines their treatment and level of urgency.
Here are the four questions we want you to answer to determine your alertness, BTL style.
1. Have you authored your CORE and is it a conscious source of inner strength?
2. Have you authored your OPUS and does it represent your labor of LOVE.
3. Are you aware of your Kairos moments, slowing down and savoring them, or simply chasing your chronometer and flying through your life?
4. Are you tuned into your pain and the pain you are bringing to those you LOVE and are you purposely choosing acute pain over chronic?
Our aim is to awaken, fully, ourselves and then our family, friends, and clients. This is the awaken part of our purpose. Wake up, dead man. Wake up…
