Your Mastermind Directors

Using your board of directors You will gain the most from your board of directors if you are fully relaxed when you consult them, so it is always advisable to
follow the Standard Entry Exercise first. However, as the previous exercise shows, you can also use the tip-of-the-tongue trigger to enter your House on the
Right Hemishere if you are short of time. Indeed, you can enter your house, use your shower and enter your boardroom in a couple of seconds if you need to
consult your directors urgently. I often do this in meetings or when I am giving a course and am asked a question that I am unsure how to answer. I use the
tip-of-the-tongue trigger, enter my boardroom and ask my directors for advice. I listen to what they have to say, then use this information to form my own
reply.

This again is your creative visualisation. You get to pick the people who you believe can help you most overcoming your challenges, achieving your goals
and reaching the level of fulfilment you desire. From the earlier sections in this work, using your core values to select goals and areas requiring
improvements from your wheel of life, select the individuals you believe, that in an ideal world would be best equipped to help you.

I have been using my boardroom for many years, so I have collected quite a number of directors by now. I have twelve permanent directors, and one who
drops in from time to time. My first woman director was a very personal choice, which I do not talk about. A second and third are also women, Barbara De
Angelis, a famous author and psychologist on love and relationships, the other is Marianne Williamson who is the foremost authority, speaker and author on
spirituality. The first male director I chose was Steve Jobs because I admired him so much. Next came Marcus Aurelius Roman emperor from 161 to 180 and
a respected philosopher. Over the years I have added other people I truly admire – Brian Tracy and Tony Robbins, both motivational goal setting plain
speaking gurus, Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein for their brilliant brains, Jay Abraham for his consummate business mind and the brilliant Simon Sinek,
a modern source of inspiration and wealth of knowledge about anthropology and human behaviour. The director who drops in every now and then, is the
anarchic comedian and actor Robin Williams who passed away in August 2014. He brings his unique brand of humour to the experience. Between them my
directors give me fantastic advice, and knowing their works, I love visualising their conversations and banter. All twelve need not be present for every CV
and I have many substitutes in the wings who bring their own area of expertise and character to the board meetings.

Summary

Establish which kind of thinking suits you best: visual, auditory or kinaesthetic. Use visual, auditory or kinaesthetic decision making whenever you have to
make instant decisions. Create your board of directors. Remember, start with just one or two people – and feel comfortable with whoever turns up! Ask your
board of directors for help and advice whenever you need it.
