(CLP) Programs

Appleton Greene corporate training programs are all process-driven. They are used as vehicles to implement tangible business processes within clients’ organizations, together with training, support and facilitation during the use of these processes. Corporate training programs are therefore implemented over a sustainable period of time, that is to say, between 1 year (incorporating 12 monthly workshops), and 4 years (incorporating 48 monthly workshops). Your program information guide will specify how long each program takes to complete. Each monthly workshop takes 6 hours to implement and can be undertaken either on the client’s premises, an Appleton Greene serviced office, or online via the internet. This enables clients to implement each part of their business process, before moving onto the next stage of the program and enables employees to plan their study time around their current work commitments. The result is far greater program benefit, over a more sustainable period of time and a significantly improved return on investment.

Appleton Greene uses standard and bespoke corporate training programs as vessels to transfer business process improvement knowledge into the heart of our clients’ organizations. Each individual program focuses upon the implementation of a specific business process, which enables clients to easily quantify their return on investment. There are hundreds of established Appleton Greene corporate training products now available to clients within customer services, e-business, finance, globalization, human resources, information technology, legal, management, marketing and production. It does not matter whether a client’s employees are located within one office, or an unlimited number of international offices, we can still bring them together to learn and implement specific business processes collectively. Our approach to global localization enables us to provide clients with a truly international service with that all important personal touch. Appleton Greene corporate training programs can be provided virtually or locally and they are all unique in that they individually focus upon a specific business function. All (CLP) programs are implemented over a sustainable period of time, usually between 1-4 years, incorporating 12-48 monthly workshops and professional support is consistently provided during this time by qualified learning providers and where appropriate, by Accredited Consultants.

Executive Summary

Authentic Leadership – History

Our past leadership models were rooted in a hierarchy and capitalistic mindset with a win, lose view – the survival of the fittest. Gaining more market share was the motivating force, often to the detriment of other indicators. Employees looked to their leaders for direction, at times as heroes, and masculine energy was more predominant.

Our old conditioning for “power over” leadership stems from numerous sources, including our educational systems where we were taught to follow. This mindset enabled a workforce to remain more consistent and stay in positions on average of 7.5 years; often motivated from a sense of loyalty and sometimes, fear.

Rewards were given based on expected performance and contingent rewards. Errors and shortcomings were communicated based on these specific goals. This is referred to as “transactional leadership,” an exchange, where each party does something for the other, a give and take.

In the eighties and nineties, a number of thought leaders including Peter Senge, Peter Drucker, Joel Barker, and others initiated an empowered movement. Dan Pink summarizes the three main drivers of employees as 1) autonomy, 2) purpose and 3) mastery. As people woke up to their creative energy and became more empowered, the complex systems of organizations split into other systems.

As a result, turnover has become a more consistent part of our work environment. More employees resign from corporations and are only staying on average of 1.5 years. A surge toward entrepreneurialism continues to grow. Now, nearly half the workforce are independent freelancers.

In the meantime, technology has grown significantly bringing efficiencies and easier access to broader opportunities and a global marketplace. At the same time, technology also contributes to feelings of overwhelm and chaos. Our workforce is primarily expected to be “on” and available to the demands of clients around the clock. Technology tends to take us out of our bodies and we often lose our connection with our innate, natural wisdom.

As communication changes are impacted by technology, our brains are rewiring. The dawn of new leadership is rising as generations adapt to the times. Millennials appear to be more creative and team-based leaders and less demanding of money and status.

Women as well, are stepping into leadership positions in many arenas and launching a plethora of new businesses. Over the last few years, the “me too” movement has accelerated the need to broaden women’s financial impact and transform our collective consciousness. Although biases against women in corporate leadership positions have decreased dramatically over the last half-decade, there remain subtle perspectives that continue to undermine and limit women’s access to power.

Over the last twenty years, in response to all the stress, mindfulness has developed as a necessary movement for sanity in our current day. In the west, it was developed as a stress-reduction technique and primarily practiced outside of work. As more people are finding yoga, somatic practices, and other mindfulness practices, they continue to build awareness for the wide positive influence these practices have in supporting our emotional, physical, spiritual and mental faculties.

Authentic Leadership – Current Position

The future is unstable as our workforce changes. For many of us, the normal way of engaging is met with resistance. Our diverse workforce landscape continues to develop with cultural differences and generational changes requiring new ways to fill the communication gaps. In March 2019, Harvard Business Review reported that the number one reason for lack of engagement is poor leadership.

Overall, we are living in transformational times. Our inner and outer ecosystems are out of balance. Stress and trauma have become all too common, and confusion is pulling us in many directions. Our old organizational models do not support the current movement toward sustainable ecosystems and prosperity for all.

In fact, our current systemic structures (healthcare, education, financial…) are causing stress, distraction, suppression, injustices, and even destruction. They contribute to the detriment and destruction of our inner and outer ecosystems and continue to pull upon one’s worth, and ability to effectively collaborate and grow.

As systems break-down and changes continue to speed up, reactivity is becoming an automatic response. Reactive communication and decision making does not generally come from wisdom and often contributes to the chaos and trauma. How do we lead today and engage resilience within our organizations? How do we not only respond to change but create change?

Currently, we know a great deal about what leaders do and how they do it. But we know very little about the inner place, the source from which they operate. New thought leaders are pointing to the whole being with discussions on emotional and somatic intelligence, spiritual wisdom and our interconnected natures. A few such leaders include Echkart Tolle, Brene Brown, and Otto Scharmer. Eckhart Tolle, Thich Nhat Hanh, and other eastern monks are pointing to mindfulness, the power of presence and releasing the ego. Brene Brown speaks about the importance of vulnerability and the influence of shame and guilt.

As we become more mindful, other somatic organizations including the Heart Math Institute and brain-based organizations are explaining the importance of nutrition and somatic care for our bodies. Eastern approaches continue to influence our experiential learning with qigong, yoga, and constellations for systemic understandings.

Otto Scharmer from MIT summarizes the call for leadership as follows: “We are living in a time of massive institutional failure, collectively creating results that nobody wants. Climate change. Hunger. Poverty. Violence. Terrorism. Destruction of communities, nature, life nature, life—the foundations of our social, economic, ecological, and spiritual well-being. This time calls for a new consciousness and a new collective leadership capacity to meet challenges in a more conscious, intentional, and strategic way.”

The point is new leadership is required to move beyond our current conditioning, to heal trauma and integrate emotional intelligence. Ecosystems need to be tended to for wholeness. We need to be inclusive. The realization for an integrated and balanced leadership style is dawning, requiring a balance in feminine and masculine energies. Learning to navigate with uncertainty, integrate body wisdom, emerge clarity from the formless, and rebuild from wholeness are necessary skills. Authentic, meaningful, engaging, co-creative leadership is required.

In contrast to transactional leadership, “transformational leadership” is emerging as a better solution. Transformational leadership comes from a new consciousness and inspires engagement. Transformational leaders authentically motivate from the inside-out and develop within themselves and those they lead a capacity to create the future of greater possibilities and move as one.

Authentic Leadership – Future Outlook

We need to prepare leaders for a different kind of future, one that will be constantly changing and increasingly interconnected, interdependent, and complex. Some things are coming to an end as old structures crumble. At the same time, new structures are rising up, some from the rubble.

A new workforce is emerging from our creatively empowered and autonomous workforce along with our global interconnection and developing social, emotional wisdom. As well, many in our current workforce will be displaced as technology, and in particular, Artificial Intelligence catapults us all into new dimensions.

As a result, leaders need to be masterful change agents in a world with new rules, new pressures and a new normal. According to MIT and Fritjof Capra on systems in the social sciences, we need to incorporate three aspects: the ecological, the social, and the spiritual. In eastern wisdom, this is referred to as three energies: earth, humanity, and heaven.

How do we do this? Leaders need to evolve their understanding of who they are, who we are and what we can create together. Through conscious evolution of individuals and organizations, we can address the root causes of systemic issues and locate the missing pieces in our three aspects, our three energies. We need to move beyond imbalances and develop new skills to see change and respond proactively.

Transformational change is possible by utilizing a framework that integrates the energy, actions, and awareness needed to “move as one”. We need to use a framework that integrates our ecological, social and spiritual divides and balances feminine and masculine energies for a whole system approach. This transforms people and organizations to grow organically and motivates employees from within. A whole-system approach moves us beyond our limited capacities and aligns us with our innate nature.

How do we do this? Authentic Leadership.

Moving as one means we include, ignite and co-create with all the elements for whole system change; our greater good. Each of us is a living, breathing and walking ecosystem, a movement of nature. When we move as one, we are in rhythm with our natural ecosystem. This changes from reacting to engaging and pollinating healthy ecosystems within ourselves, work, family, environment and community. It guides us to be nimble, flexible, responsive and authentic by redirecting attention from the exterior to the inner way of seeing.

People can be taught to move as one through experiential learning and authentic leadership. Authentic leadership begins by knowing yourself, being real with yourself from the purity of heart, and following your inner guidance. As one changes the quality of attention to an internal awareness it becomes easier to follow clear inspiration. Through alignment with your body, mind, heart, and spirit, one balances from within and comes from a place of peace, wisdom, and wholeness. To be authentic means we integrate the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual forces of our nature.

From this position, authentic leadership draws upon unique gifts to consciously rise up to meet what is next, clear the way forward, and respond in ways that transforms confusion. Authentic leaders can see the ecosystem in all living organisms and knows when one part is out of balance, all areas suffer; it impacts the whole.

As masterful change agents, authentic leaders facilitate others to move as one as individuals and together through co-creative conversations to emerge a greater future. They renew organizational culture by creating conditions and hosting environments to unleash the natural flow, and guiding others to their authentic selves knowing each person contributes to that culture.

Many of us have experienced healthy ecosystems where all people, entities, and elements are nourished and are working for the whole. It feels natural, harmonious and in-tune with our innate rhythm. It is easy to be in these healthy ecosystems that work well and help all participants prosper.

Program Objectives

The following list represents the Key Program Objectives (KPO) for the Appleton Greene Authentic Leadership corporate training program.

Authentic Leadership – Part 1- Year 1

1. Part 1 Month 1 Ecosystem Awareness – Overall, this first year is focused on deepening your experience using principles of transformation to grow your potential as a wise, authentic leader. In this first year, you will be guided to learn and experience the co-creative process to improve your overall effectiveness in creating what you want. Apply the cycles of creating to unleash your extraordinary creative and productive power that will move you to success. Activate all five mindful moves/cycles/seasons for maximum benefits. This first module defines an ecosystem model that demonstrates what exists within and around you. Using this model, you can gain confidence in observing ecosystems and initiating shifts to transform energy for sustained change. Many of us do not realize how powerful we are, that we are in fact, always creating. Often we forget and get mired down by old systems, routines, structures, thoughts, emotions and paradigms that do not empower. Our energy gets stuck. By understanding that individuals, teams, and organizations are all living and breathing ecosystems, you can learn to use this ecosystem awareness repeatedly in a variety of situations. This first module is to provide an overview of the energy, actions, and awareness that make up a whole ecosystem. It sets the foundation and provides a history of the 5 elements creative process. Take an element assessment test to understand how to balance your elements and personal ecosystem. In this module, you begin to understand your natural rhythms and develop an awareness of one’s own creative energy. Understand all the cycles of creating for full manifestation. Understand how that natural creative process works in your life and work and learn practical ways to balance and release energy to consciously create. Our personal ecosystems include thoughts, words, emotions, body, heart. Our body, heart, and mind integrate. It matters how our body feels. There are three centers within to attend to related to the ecological, social and spiritual separations we see in our world. By working from this micro and personal level, we can impact the macro levels including our earth, humanity, and access to higher wisdom. By learning this natural system, you engage your innate wisdom and move more harmoniously and effortlessly through life. By understanding the interconnected nature, you can get unstuck, and respond from peace, rather than react from fear. Begin to move toward a balanced, healthy ecoCreative culture from the inside out. Learn how you can break through obstacles, enhance your creativity, renew your passion and strengthen your presence. Feel your purpose come alive and engage others with more potency. First, we apply the ecosystem understanding at an individual level, then apply it to your business. In the second year of this program, you learn to facilitate your team and influence your organization’s ecosystem culture. The five mindful moves activate the ecosystem by bringing awareness as follows: 1)Presence, 2) Passion, 3) Purpose, 4) Partnership and 5) Practice. The next five modules will focus on each of the five mindful moves. This first year is focused on deepening your experience as a wise, authentic leader to move from the inside out.
2. Part 1 Month 2 Embody Presence – Often we lose connection and intimacy with our bodies and hearts. This intimacy provides wisdom for how to care for ourselves and the whole. When we lose our rhythm, we can place power outside of ourselves. It becomes easier to distract ourselves and stay busy and operate primarily from our heads. With all the media, we feel compelled to be “on” and are often directed toward thoughts and feelings with an undermining nature to control and gain influence over our opinions. When we do this, we forget our internal power, intuitive wisdom, and higher guidance and lose the joy of creating from our wholesome, interconnected, ecosystem nature. Moving as one requests us to connect and mindfully move from the inside out, and activate wise moves. Authentic, awakened self-care is an honest assessment and observation that can reveal what is really going on and illuminate unrest and dysfunctions that we may otherwise want to ignore. Awaken your presence with the first mindful move by connecting your body, brain, breath with nature. This integrates heart, soul, environment, and our interconnected nature. This mindful move is about being honest and getting off the treadmill of unhealthy, repetitive behaviors. This mindful move brings wisdom and self-knowledge; the true riches in life. Know thyself to enrich your presence; know you are a source of creations. This mindful move utilizes metal energy. This energy is represented in the season of Fall where days are shorter and the air is crisper. Metal energy is cold and contracting. It signifies loss and reduction, the process of refinement, but also the indestructible purity that remains. The season and the energy sheds light and helps us find the value in what has gone before while letting go of that which may impede our progress into the future. In this module, you will learn tools and techniques to apply when you want to balance your energy and become present. Learn practical ways to map where you are, let go, detach, observe and accept. Practice detachment and acceptance: “To be in the world, but not of it.” Rise above external distractions and tune-in to your natural rhythm. Become present in your body and breath and practice mindfulness to balance and manage your energy effectively. Identify thoughts, old paradigms, conditions and clutter that may impede progress, and clear away the old. Reflect and integrate your wisdom to consciously release energy and make room for what is next. As you learn to stop reacting and projecting, you make room for intuition, creativity, and higher guidance. This is a feminine, receptive, YIN energy. By being present to your natural rhythms, you allow new directions and continued growth.
3. Part 1 Month 3 Renew Passion – This mindful move may be the most important; however, it is easily ignored because it requires you to open. As you stop the momentum of past conditioning, you open to the mystery, that which is not captured by thought. You connect with the space between chaos and order. You sit in-between with questions about your life. This may feel uncomfortable, as our human tendency is to want immediate solutions, to be somewhere, to restore balance and reestablish control. Instead, this phase is for inspiration and renewal of your passion. Renewal is felt as one’s mission and vision begins to reveal itself. As you tap into stillness and emptiness, your creative mind will activate. This is the phase for divergent thinking to explore and imagine new possibilities. It is a highly creative phase in which new ideas and solutions are imagined. Apply this phase when you want generative energy and an increase of flow and people in your life. In this module, you will learn the energy, actions, and awareness to bring this generative phase to life. Also, understand what destroys and separates. Explore how and why you are limiting yourself. Learn how to break thru limitations and open to a creative space, and practice mindful moves to integrate body, mind, and heart. Learn to tap into your natural energy and the power of your heart to awaken passion. Develop a keen sense of your body, mind, and heart as you open and integrate. Ask yourself questions and practice intuitive activities to bring higher guidance and wisdom to your awareness. This mindful move utilizes water energy and is associated with the season of Winter. Water is the energy of things moving downward and coming to rest; the energy of maximum concentration and stillness. Water glistens, roars, cleanses and is still, sometimes frozen. It represents both life and death – a bridge to rebirth. Water’s action is non-action and its form is no-form. Actions in the water cycle include breathing, forgiving, questioning, and receiving higher wisdom. Renewal is felt as one’s mission and vision begins to reveal itself. Apply water’s YIN energy when you want more peace, clarity of mind, and an increase of flow of people and cash in your life. Water brings us inspiration and renews our passion. Using this mindful move, you listen and renew from a generative place. Energize and empower from your heart’s wisdom and expand your capacity for creativity and enhance your awareness of who you are and what you can accomplish. This results in a renewed passion and mission.
4. Part 1 Month 4 Emerge Purpose – This mindful move is associated with new beginnings. Once you’ve opened yourself to stillness and emptiness, you can choose the energy you want to move. After opening, notice what is emerging. You may notice possibilities around things that felt solid. Identify what is inspiring you now. This mindful move helps you feel young, energetic, clear, purposeful and motivated. By opening to joy, you broaden your purpose. Apply this mindful move when you want to add the energy of growth, expansion, and vitality to your work and life. In this module, you will learn tools and techniques to focus and form what you want to create. We move from the formless into consciously creating form. This is the phase for convergent thinking, to explore all the options then focus and formulate a clear vision and key focus areas to accomplish the results desired. In this phase, the act of visualization activates your right brain and verbalizing this vision helps to integrate your whole brain. Understand how to emerge a vision and create a dynamic and effortless flow of energy toward your vision. Words matter as they help to define and give form. Clear, integrated, and directed energy produces positive results. Ask and you shall receive. This mindful move utilizes wood energy. This energy is associated with the season of Spring and the energy of green and fresh, new buds of plants and plans signals growth. Wood energy is expansive, robust, tenacious and direct. It is movement and action with a firm sense of self. Wood is a catalyst; plans lead to decisions that further a change process. Learn when this is overused and gets out of balance. This energy can be overused if grasping and greed intentions are activated. Forming is a masculine and yang energy. Learn what destroys this phase. This third mindful move brings a sense of purpose and clarity for your emerging future. As an authentic leader, lead change from a holistic perspective. Align your goals with your purpose and make mindful and aware decisions.
5. Part 1 Month 5 Engage Partnership – In this phase, it is time to activate your visions, engage them, and join with others. This cycle describes a stage of peak power, reaching a maximal stage of activity and co-creation. It helps bring more joy, engagement, and light. Apply this phase when you want to co-create more expansion, more connections and increase your recognition. It brings joy, passion, light, and warmth into your life. This fourth mindful move is one of action when plans are implemented through collaborative efforts. In this module, you will learn tools and techniques to enhance synergy and engage co-creation. In pure synergy, the whole becomes greater than the sum of each separate parts. The sensation of synergy is exciting and engaging. When you align with your visions, the results create synchronicities that feel like magic. This joining is a form of co-creation. This fourth mindful move utilizes fire energy and is associated with the season of Summer. Fire represents warmth, passion, pleasure, connections and relationships, the social aspects of our world. Activities involve increasing your charisma energy, implementing action steps, joining with others, and creating a gratitude vortex. In the Fire cycle, we celebrate that which will become. Also in this module, you will understand what destroys and inhibits engagement and the fire. Test your partnerships – do they have presence, passion, purpose? When there is an equal commitment, co-creating offers synergistic communication. Using this fourth mindful move, you engage others through clear communication and connected movements. Learn to convene right players, and understand and apply activities, communication, and structures to engage co-creation.
6. Part 1 Month 6 Sustain Practice – This phase provides stability. It balances, centers and grounds especially in times of intense change. This energy hosts, contains, allows and supports living processes and is essential to our overall sense of well-being. Apply this mindful move when you want to slow down, become more centered, be at peace in the world, feel connected and stable. In this module, you will learn tools and techniques to turn new strategies into practice through the creation of ongoing systems, support, and sustainable efforts. Explore the body movements and changes in the environment that will balance this element. This mindful move utilizes earth energy and the harvest season at the end of summer. It balances, centers and grounds and provides stability in our lives, especially in times of intense life changes. Earth is the mother of life; it is a matrix that contains, allows, and supports living processes. Engaging the power of Earth calls us home where we feel at peace with the world. Sustaining earth activities include the ongoing practice of new habits and supportive routines. Connect with a coach or mentor to support your efforts. Clarify fears that may interfere and ways to manage them with clear boundaries that contain and engage the stability of Earth. Improving your physical environment and creating sacred space will help you maintain your practice awareness. How we move around our environment informs our movements. Knowing Feng Shui or the flow of energy within a space is important. The awareness from this fifth mindful move deepens your understanding of how to sustain new habits through practice. Learn to host yourself and others by providing a supportive environment to assist you in making changes. Pull it all together and put embodied principles into action. Forward your action, while deepening your process.
7. Part 1 Month 7 Balance Business – Each business has its own unique ecosystem that begins from its initial creation. It includes all the aspects of your business including values, mission, product/service, strategic vision, financials, project implementation, teams, client relationships, business systems, and work environment. By understanding your business ecosystem, you are able to apply the five mindful moves to generate organic growth. This dynamic ecosystem operates best from a balanced movement. It is an extension of your inner ecosystem. We begin to balance your business by using the first mindful move to understand the business ecosystem. Learn to apply the energy, actions, and awareness and bring a sense of balance and “presence” to your business. Understand how to balance the yang (masculine) and yin (feminine) energies. This mindful move can release stuck energy, improve communications and stimulate projects. The starting point is assessing the current situation, knowing where your business is now and determining what we would like to be different. Before we can create a plan for moving forward, we must thoroughly understand where your business is now. In this phase, we map the current reality and identify the obstacles, challenges, and opportunities that exist in the current situation. This module provides a framework for creating and sustaining an inspired work life combined with a pragmatic focus on business and financial goals. Take an element assessment test to understand how to further balance your work elements for business symmetry. This provides a way to clearly assess and appreciate your business while redefining and refining your value. Draw upon the natural cycles for energy, support, balance, and wisdom. In particular, we draw upon the refinement energy of this mindful move. This brings wisdom and awareness and helps to open the energy for new directions and continued growth. Listen and attune to the highest wisdom of your business and prepare it to thrive. Focusing question: How is my business doing? Is my business aligned with my values? Where is it out of balance? How can it be strengthened?
8. Part 1 Month 8 Money Paradigms – In this module, we explore your money paradigms and understand how this applies to your business ecosystem. Explore the relationship between the value of your business and the exchange of money. Understand your limiting money paradigms and map where you are in relation to your business. Money influences what you do, your work, how you conduct business and where you invest your time and money. Then apply the second mindful move to open and renew your business’s passion and mission. Explore and imagine new possibilities in this creative phase and bring forward inspired ideas. This phase provides your business with fresh, creative insights, and opens you to expanded possibilities. What is a paradigm? A paradigm is an assumption or way of thinking about yourself, someone else or circumstances – anything. We view our world based on our paradigms. It reflects our perception. Some of our paradigms are empowering – I’ve always been good with numbers or I’m a fast learner. However, some are limiting, such as I’m not good with money or I’m too busy to take time for. Limiting money paradigms can impact behaviors such as 1) the need to overwork and “get ahead”, 2) feeling like a victim or fear of your circumstances, and making decisions based on other’s authority, 3) longevity – staying with work that doesn’t satisfy you, or feeling captive to your organization (the proverbial “golden handcuffs”), and 4) imbalances and differences in leadership styles. The point is how you invest your time and money is influenced by ingrained paradigms and historical patterns within our collective consciousness. In this module, understand, explore, unpack, and break-through money paradigms to further engage your power. You can find your paradigms by looking at your circumstances, your disappointments over the last year and your feelings. Explore how you limit yourself and then dig deeper into the thoughts you are telling yourself to explain your frustrations or your failures. There is typically a limiting paradigm at work. We can be our own worst enemy. Joel Barker was the first person to popularize the concept of paradigm shifts for the corporate world. He began his work in 1975 after spending a year on fellowship meeting and working with visionary thinkers in both North America and Europe. He discovered that the concept of paradigms, which at that time was sequestered within the scientific discussion, could explain revolutionary change in all areas of human endeavor. By 1985, he had built the case and corporations and nations were seeking his advice. The Paradigm Effect: How paradigms keep you from seeing. Focusing question: What money paradigms can get things stuck? What is the passion of this business?
9. Part 1 Month 9 Wise Decisions – How do you make wise decisions? The quick answer is to sense it in your gut and know it in your bones. Insights are seeing from within and feeling it in your body. In this module, you will learn and practice ways to improve your intuition and bring forth insights to know it in your bones. Learn to access universal wisdom and the “knowing field” with proven techniques to embody your wisdom. Continue to practice the second mindful move to open your business’s perspective, explore and imagine possibilities. This creative phase provides room for you to seek out new ideas and solutions and bring them forward. Crafting and asking good questions is an art. Learn how to ask questions that connect you with higher guidance, your intuitive wisdom, and Source energy. MIT’s presencing refers to this as 4th level listening. When you move beyond your mind that wants to debate, judge or be emotional, you can then listen from a generative place. Passion awareness happens when there is a union, an integration of separated parts. Awareness of the “heart of it all” puts emotion in motion. Access your body wisdom and renew your spirit by listening to Source. Remember why you are doing what you are doing and your mission will be
