Deep dives
The Power of Asking Questions
Tracy Pleschkor highlights the importance of asking questions and seeking clarification as a valuable tool for personal growth and understanding. She reflects on her own experiences in middle school, where she struggled with math and had low self-esteem. Tracy credits a teacher who recognized her potential and encouraged her to ask questions, which boosted her self-esteem and helped her understand the value she possessed. Tracy emphasizes that asking questions is essential for gaining insights, overcoming challenges, and finding solutions.
The Four Agreements
Tracy recommends the book 'The Four Agreements' by Don Miguel Ruiz. The four agreements are: be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions, and always do your best. Tracy suggests reframing these agreements as questions to guide personal reflection and growth. For example, asking oneself, 'In what ways am I impeccable with my word?' or 'Are the assumptions I am making accurate?'. The book explores the importance of these agreements in cultivating self-awareness, improving relationships, and enabling personal development.
The Impact of Feedback
Tracy discusses the significance of feedback and its potential for personal growth. She reflects on her early entrepreneurial career when she had difficulty accepting feedback, as she would interpret it as a reflection of herself. Tracy highlights the importance of recognizing that feedback is meant to help and guide, and advises viewing it as an opportunity for improvement rather than a personal attack. She encourages individuals to seek feedback, examine their thought patterns around it, and be grateful for the valuable insights it provides.
The Journey of Self-Discovery
Tracy shares her personal journey of self-discovery and the importance of relying on oneself as a solution. She recounts her experience working in the advertising industry but feeling unfulfilled and sacrificing time with her family. Realizing she had achieved external success but lacked internal fulfillment, Tracy made the decision to leave her job and start her own consulting firm. Through self-coaching and understanding her thought patterns, Tracy transformed her life and now helps others tap into their strengths and achieve their desired results, emphasizing the power of self-reliance and self-awareness.
