The past 5 episodes have focused on these concepts, starting with episode 92 (The Leader’s Kryptonite: Emotional Fusion Versus Differentiation) giving the context for the series.

    * The power of loving yourself with radical acceptance, even though others are judging you.

    * Practicing reframing painful moments through awareness and story exercises.

  • 95. Patrick Norris – Differentiation: The ART of Self-Definition and Identity through Truth
    Nov 11 2021

    Welcome to Episode 95 of the Red Ink Revival Leadership Podcast. In today’s episode Patrick is continuing with one of the most important factors for successful leaders, self-differentiation. The past 3 episodes have focused on these concepts, starting with episode 92 (The Leader’s Kryptonite: Emotional Fusion Versus Differentiation) giving the context for the series. If you have wondered why you can’t seem to get the ‘wins’ you work so hard for, even after training with conferences, consultants, books, podcasts, and mentors, this episode series is for you!

     

    Episode 95 takes us into the following:

     

    * Review of self-differentiation and giving context to leadership challenges.

    * Continued exploration of the 3 components to mature in self-definition or identity: A-R-T.

    * Review of awareness and responsibility (AR of ART) as the first two components of self-definition or identity.

    * Revealing the third component of self-definition or identity: truth.

    * How truth is about honoring your own values, perspectives, opinions, convictions, interpretations, beliefs, desires, and goals.

    * How identity is the ability to know and commit to what you believe is true, not being closed to opposing ideas, or being inflexible.

    * How identity is about the right to define yourself, define your own thoughts and beliefs, and to clarify what it means to be yourself.

    * How identity empowers you to know what you think is important, what is valuable, and what you believe to be moral and true.

    * How you come to know what is true: objectivity versus subjectivity.

    * Exploration of free moral agency as God’s gift to choose what you believe is true.

    * How emotions and feelings are beneficial gifts to serve your awareness, but how they are unreliable sources to anchor you in truth.

    * The benefit of Scripture as an authoritative source for truth.

    * How Biblical identity is not your unwilling acceptance of God’s forced enmeshment, but your willing acceptance in pursuit of truth.

    * Biblical texts to reinforce ideas and benefits of truth around emotional states.

    * Exercises to build your truth-muscles and instincts.

  • 94. Patrick Norris – Differentiation: The ART of Self-Definition and Identity through Responsibility
    Nov 4 2021

    Welcome to Episode #94 of the Red Ink Revival Leadership Podcast. In today’s episode Patrick is continuing with one of the most important factors for successful leaders: differentiation. Self-differentiation is a human flourishing code cracker. If you have wondered why you can’t seem to get the ‘wins’ you work so hard for, even after training with conferences, consultants, books, podcasts, and mentors, this episode is for you!

     

    This episode takes us into the following:

     

    * Review of Dr. Murray Bowen’s Systems Theory.

    * Sharing of quotes from Pastor Steve Cuss’s work about Systems Theory from his book, Managing Leadership Anxiety: Yours and Theirs.

    * Discussion regarding the distinctions between enmeshment/fusion, detachment/distance and self-differentiation.

    * Continued exploration of the 5 components to mature in self-differentiation: A-R-T-S-Y.

    * Exploration of the ART (awareness, responsibility, and truth) of self-definition and emotional identity.

    * Biblical texts to reinforce ideas of intentional responsibility around emotional states.

    * How self-awareness is a critical component of identity, but without responsibility it makes a person entitled, self-absorbed, and toxic.

    * How God is looking for growth and maturity, rather than flawlessness and perfectionism.

    * How self-definition comes from within, not by being adaptive to other’s desires, emotions, and projections.

    * Examination of pro-depressive circuits and empowerment (dopamine) circuits from Dr. Andrew Huberman’s work, a neuroscientist from Stanford University.

    * Great exercises to build the responsibility muscles and instincts.

  • 93. Patrick Norris – Differentiation: How a Healthy Identity Begins with Awareness
    Oct 28 2021

    Welcome to Episode #93 of the Red Ink Revival Leadership Podcast. In today’s episode Patrick is continuing with one of the most important factors for successful leaders, differentiation. Self-differentiation is a human flourishing code cracker. If you have wondered why you can’t seem to get the ‘wins’ you work so hard for, even after training with conferences, consultants, books, podcasts, and mentors, this episode is for you!

     

    This episode takes us into the following:

     

    * We review Dr. Murray Bowen’s Family Systems Theory applied to restoring families.

    * We share how Edwin Friedman’s famous book, A Failure of Nerve, takes Family Systems Theory and applies it to organizations, leaders, and organizational flourishing.

    * We show the Biblical foundations of identity and self-differentiation.

    * We begin looking at 5 components to mature in self-differentiation: A-R-T-S-Y.

    * We see how our identity is matured by awareness, responsibility, and transparent truth.

    * We learn how our identity was originally formed through interpersonal neurobiological interactions with our family of origin.

    * We look at how to grow in self-awareness.

    * We discuss the 3 R’s of practicing awareness: 1) Recalling grievance memories, 2) Reflecting on event feelings, and 3) Recognizing associated narratives and meanings.

    * We present the “Feelings Wheel” as a tool to discover various feeling states.

    * We walk through how an event turns into an emotional experience, then a looping narrative script, then an emotional meaning around our self.

    * We see how disputing false interpretations gives new meaning and relieves anxiety.
