Spooling Up For You!
Based on the Clifton Strengths Assessment, the results of this quiz guides, directs and influences the impact of the other assessments. This is the foundation on which we "Stack the Hack!" The quiz comes with a cost of $39 as we do not control or deliver this assessment.
We stack this assessment on top of the Clifton Strengths assessment. This is the quiz that helps us understand how we prefer speak and be spoken to. There are 6 distinct styles of communication that allows us to learn each and then create a Kaleidoscope of communication skills applied.
This leadership theory integrates our personal strengths with how we like to communicate. With 6 distinct styles of leadership, & two axes of power and influence, we provide an accessible and easy to understand model for growth. Every crew member has a place in the canoe!
Need a Lifeline? Have you ever wondered how top athletes like Michael Phelps or world-class astronauts and special forces achieve peak performance?
They leverage a powerful technique known to us since the 1950s - visualization or mental simulation. On this site, we work to explore the science behind the different assessments as well as to share our personal journeys of transformation.
Should you choose to join us, we'd love to have you share your journey with us, as well as with others making the very same journey.
The human brain operates like a servo mechanism, a concept introduced in Maxwell Maltz's book, "Psycho-Cybernetics." Simply put, a servo mechanism is a self-correcting device that adjusts its functioning based on feedback.
Likewise, when given coordinates of our goals and regular feedback, our brain can guide us along a trajectory leading to success.
Unfortunately, we often fail to provide our brains with these essential coordinates - a clear vision of whom we want to be or what our best selves look like. This is where the Genius Process comes into play.
The Genius Process is a powerful methodology developed to help individuals visualize their best selves. At the heart of this process lies the Genius Paragraph - a personalized statement built on your strengths that paint a compelling picture of your optimal self.
This is not just about fantasizing; it's a scientifically-backed technique for creating a mental image of your best self and setting your brain's servo mechanism into motion.
We are taking this Genius Process and expanding it to include self-assessment and reflection on communication styles through the Core Connect Blueprint. As well as the inclusion of the self-assessment and reflection upon leadership styles through the Canoe Leadership Role Theory, or "CLRT".
CLRT is the integrative process we use to bring together all three dimensions of our three zone process which we sometimes call "The Delta." The best way to understand the Three Zone Delta, is that we work from the inside out.
“Whenever you begin to conclude, "I can't win," and "What's the use?" you've set yourself up for failure. Your pessimism becomes a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy.”
― James C. Dobson
“Remember, you are not getting what you want in life. Instead, you will get what you are. If you constantly think about lack and scarcity, you will attract more of them.”
― Sam Izad
“Dare to believe in the reality of your assumption and watch the world play its part relative to to its fulfillment.” ― Neville Goddard
The Essence of the 3 Zone Delta
In the vast waters of leadership, there's a unique approach that stands out, known as the 3 Zone Delta. This integrative process is inspired by the spirit of the Wa'a, the Polynesian-Hawaiian canoe, tradition. It's not just about steering the Wa'a in the right direction; it's about moving with the rhythm of the paddles and fostering crew unity . The "3 Zone Delta Process" is a self-reflective dive into personal strengths, communication styles, and leadership styles that offers a complete yet understandable framework for enhancing both personal and professional performance.
Genius Spark: Understand Your Strengths
At the heart of this approach is the foundational core understanding termed the "Genius Spark." It's about recognizing how one shows up best. Everyone has a unique way of presenting themselves, and the Genius Spark helps you see those core values and traits. In some ways, it is a compass providing the direction to ensure you navigate your personal and professional direction with confidence and clarity.
Communication: The Core Connect Model
Communication connect us to each other, to our crew, and the 3 Zone Delta emphasizes the importance of effective connection through the Core Connect Model. This model reveals six different styles of communication. Understanding all the styles helps you ensure that every message is not just heard but that it is also understood. When we choose to speak to be heard, that means we are careful to ensure that every word resonates with its intended audience. In the words of Steven Covey, it's about seeking first to understand and then seeking to be heard.
Moving From Transactional Leadership to Transformational Leader
Leadership, in the 3 Zone Delta, is not just about guiding; it's about influencing. The question posed is: Are you transactional or transformational? Do you rely on your position, or do you persuade to move people? Effective leadership actively ensures that each paddler is rowing in harmony and with a shared sense of purpose. When you lead seeking to do so with impact and influence, you want to be sure that you're not just on a hike because no one is following you. Instead, we choose to embark on an informed journey of growth and discovery together.
Your Journey of Continuous Growth
Your journey into the 3 Zone Delta is not for the sake of reaching a destination but it is a journey of continuous improvement. This journey requires self-assessment, feedback, application, coaching, and then sharing the victories large and small as you grow. It's a definite reminder that everyone's journey has its unique peaks and lonely valleys. Our goal should be to grow through every phase, whether up or down, solo or team. With our 3 Zoned Delta Process, you're not just navigating the waters of leadership; you're ensuring that every stroke of the paddle is intentional, purposeful, and in harmony with the crew.
