It seems to come from a variety of sources
But can you repeat it regularly or is it “unmanageable?”
Could you design it into your life?
More importantly, what if it were in you, that is, what if you could transport it from one activity to another?

Doug Newburg, PhD

23. “When people come to work, it’s important that they be connected to a dream.” - Bill Gates, Fortune, 1/26/04, p. 124

24. Two Kinds of Life’s Dreams
LD external
What you wanted to be or do.
Externally measured
Achievement based
“Success”
LD internal
How you felt at your best.
Internally measured
Experience based
“Success”

25. Your internal Life’s Dream (LDint)
Is not a “goal” which is a “false dream”
Is a connection between resonance producing activities and the Feelings that come at the peak

26. Goals vs “Experience” (feel)
Much of the industrial era has focused on goal setting
Achievement orientation often drives our behavior at the expense of our emotional experience
Remember to remember how you feel is equally as important as what you do.

30. Revisiting the Dream
“Just mixing it up with the guys and being in the hunt is a rush, and I can’t wait to experience those feelings again.”

31. Examples of Feel … Easy speed (Jeff Rouse)
Playing to win at the highest level (Dawn Staley)
Out of my chest
Being at one with my surroundings
Peaceful, satisfied, alive
Buoyant, connected mastery
Light, unhurried, and engaged.

33. The Resonance Model Preparation

Preparation, practice, rehearsal, WORK
Doug Newburg, PhD

34. Preparation
People ask me, “How do you play so well?” I practiced, intense “shedding.” If you’re willing to put in the time, you can do it to a certain level. Maybe I have a special talent that is intangible, but if you are willing to put in the time, you can really get it together.”
Bruce Hornsby

35. The Relationship between Dream and Preparation: Vijay Singh, pro golfer
“Confidence doesn’t come from winning. Winning comes from confidence. And that confidence comes from hard work.”

37. Relationship between stamina and the “dream”
“Even to this day I get a thrill out of just hitting balls. Seeing the shot and then hitting the shot. If I can hit the ball the way I want to hit it on the range, I’d rather do that than play golf. I just love the feeling of hitting good golf shots.” - Vijay Singh, Golf Digest, April 2008, page 188.
What do you enjoy enough that you can persist doing it just for the joy of doing it?

38. What’s the difference between “work” and a “job?”
“I stopped loving golf at exactly the time I decided to turn pro.” - Tom Weiskopf , Golf, July 2004, p. 133
People pay me a lot of money to go away from my family, stay in cheap motels, ride on the bus all night, and eat rubber chicken. But when the curtain goes up and the light on the camera goes on, THAT I do for free.

44. We all start out knowing magic
We all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires and comets inside of us. We are all born able to sing to birds and read the clouds, and see our destiny in grains of sand.

45. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls
But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for God’s sake. And you know why we were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad about what they had allowed to wither in themselves.

46. After you go so far away from it though, you can’t really get it back, just seconds of knowing and remembering. When people get weepy at movies, it’s because in that dark theater the golden pool of magic is touched just briefly. Then they come out into the hard sun of logic and reason again and it dries up, and they’re left feeling a little heavy, and they don’t know why.

47. The truth of life is that each year we get a little further from the essence that is born with us. We get shouldered burdens, some of them good, some of them not so good. Things happen to us. Life itself does its best to take that memory of magic away from us. You don’t know it’s happening until one day you feel like you’ve lost something… and you’re not sure what it is. It’s like smiling at a pretty girl, and she calls you “sir.” It just happens.
From “Boy’s Life,” Robert MacCammon

55. “feel” and “goal” are not the same…
…we still had a long way to go. Like ants getting over an enormous obstacle we climbed up without appearing to make any progress. The slope was very steep. . . The air was luminous, and the light was tinged with the most delicate blue. On the other side of the couloir, ridges of bare ice refracted the light like prisms and sparkled with rainbow hues. The weather was still set fine--not a single cloud--and the air was dry. I felt in splendid form and as if, somehow, I had found a perfect balance within myself--was this, I wondered, the essence of happiness.
Maurice Herzog, Annapurna, p. 166

56. So, we come back again to this question: How do you want to feel?

57. Resonance is a question of harmony between inside and outside
“I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance with our innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
- Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth, 1988

58. The Pursuit of Excellence
"Excellence is attained by those
who care more than others think is wise,
who risk more than others think is safe, who dream more than others think is practical.“

5. What are you willing to work for?
1. How do I want to feel today?
4. How can I get it back?
2. What does it take to get that feeling?
RESONANCE
3. What keeps me from that feeling?

60. THE PURPOSE OF LIFE Find Your Resonance Invest in Your Resonance
Enjoy Your Resonance
Help Others Find Their Resonance

61. Key Points …
Pay attention to your internal Life’s Dream as well as your external Life’s Dream
Ask yourself, “if you’re not resonating, will you be performing at a world-class level?”
Pay attention to your experience along with your achieving.
It’s your life: what are you willing to work for?
Ignore Task AND Process at the risk of your enjoyment AND your performance

62. Implications for Managers
Can you distinguish between LDext and LDint?
Can you identify your LDint?
Can you identify your team’s LDint?
Can you help people reconnect with their LDint?
What will the impact be on performance?
