- 5:55lot
- 5:55of
- 5:55pieces
- 5:56to
- 5:56unpack
- 5:56underneath
- 5:57that.
- 5:57I
- 5:57have

- 5:57model
- 5:58called
- 5:58Fear
- 5:58Trust
- 5:59Control,
- 5:59which
- 5:59I've
- 5:59been
- 6:00presenting
- 6:00at

- 6:01And
- 6:01it
- 6:01really
- 6:02just
- 6:02says
- 6:02that
- 6:02when
- 6:03fear

- 6:03high,
- 6:03trust
- 6:04is
- 6:04low,
- 6:05and
- 6:05control
- 6:06mechanisms
- 6:07escalate
- 6:08to
- 6:08unthinkable
- 6:09Proportions.
- 6:10And
- 6:11when
- 6:11we
- 6:11have
- 6:12organizations
- 6:13that
- 6:13are
- 6:13not

- 6:25to
- 6:26the
- 6:26what
- 6:26and
- 6:26the
- 6:26who.
- 6:27We
- 6:27have
- 6:28just
- 6:28so
- 6:28much
- 6:29lack
- 6:29of
- 6:29integrity.
- 6:30And
- 6:31even
- 6:31with
- 6:31the
- 6:31best
- 6:32meaning
- 6:32of
- 6:32people,
- 6:33if
- 6:33people
- 6:34are
- 6:34unhealthy,
- 6:35they
- 6:35bring
- 6:35those
- 6:35unhealthy

- 6:39and
- 6:39then
- 6:39on
- 6:40and
- 6:40on
- 6:40it
- 6:40goes.
- 6:41So
- 6:42the

- 6:42was
- 6:43written
- 6:43as
- 6:44a

- 6:49might
- 6:49shift
- 6:49their
- 6:50thinking
- 6:50about
- 6:50a
- 6:51problem.
- 6:51Because
- 6:51often
- 6:51we
- 6:51can't
- 6:52solve
- 6:52problems
- 6:52because
- 6:52we're
- 6:53thinking
- 6:53about
- 6:53the
- 6:53problem
- 6:54itself.
- 6:55Wrong.
- 6:56And
- 6:56yeah,
- 6:56and
- 6:56that's
- 6:57one

- 8:22crisis
- 8:22or
- 8:23the
- 8:23source

- 8:25It's
- 8:25actually
- 8:26really
- 8:26profound
- 8:27what
- 8:27you're
- 8:27talking
- 8:27about.
- 8:28The
- 8:28efficiency
- 8:29is
- 8:29actually

- 8:31a
- 8:31lower
- 8:32order
- 8:33of
- 8:35goodness,
- 8:35I
- 8:35would
- 8:36say,
- 8:36because
- 8:36the
- 8:37efficiency
- 8:37basically
- 8:38gets
- 8:38us
- 8:39to
- 8:39default
- 8:40to
- 8:40seeing
- 8:41somebody
- 8:41else
- 8:42as
- 8:42the
- 8:42problem.
- 8:43Oh,
- 8:43absolutely.
- 8:44Getting
- 8:44ourselves
- 8:45to
- 8:45be
- 8:45able
- 8:45to
- 8:45be
- 8:46the
- 8:46victim,
- 8:46which
- 8:46everybody
- 8:47always
- 8:47wants
- 8:47to
- 8:47not
- 8:48deny
- 8:48being
- 8:48the
- 8:48victim.
- 8:49Actually
- 8:49you're
- 8:50behaving
- 8:50like
- 8:50it
- 8:50and
- 8:51it's
- 8:51comfortable
- 8:51to
- 8:51be
- 8:51the
- 8:52victim
- 8:52because
- 8:52then
- 8:52you're
- 8:53responsible.
- 8:54And
- 8:54we
- 8:55think
- 8:55we're
- 8:55the
- 8:55only
- 8:55ones
- 8:56struggling.
- 8:56You
- 8:56talk
- 8:56about
- 8:57this.
- 8:57Can
- 8:57you
- 8:57say
- 8:57more
- 8:57about
- 8:58this?
- 8:59Because
- 8:59I
- 8:59think
- 8:59this
- 8:59is
- 9:00at
- 9:00the
- 9:00center
- 9:01of
- 9:01how
- 9:01we
- 9:01take
- 9:02ourselves
- 9:02out
- 9:02of
- 9:03the
- 9:03problem
- 9:03and
- 9:03then
- 9:03can
- 9:04never
- 9:04address
- 9:04it.
- 9:05It's
- 9:05the
- 9:05nexus
- 9:06of
- 9:06it.
- 9:06We
- 9:06can
- 9:06be
- 9:07victimized
- 9:07without
- 9:08being
- 9:08the
- 9:08victim.
- 9:09And
- 9:09I
- 9:10think
- 9:10that's
- 9:10really
- 9:11a
- 9:11thing
- 9:11to
- 9:12keep
- 9:12in
- 9:12mind,
- 9:13that
- 9:13a
- 9:13person
- 9:14can
- 9:14victimize
- 9:15us
- 9:15in
- 9:15a
- 9:15moment.
- 9:16There
- 9:16is
- 9:16a
- 9:16moment
- 9:17or
- 9:17a
- 9:17series
- 9:17of
- 9:18moments
- 9:18where
- 9:19we
- 9:19can
- 9:19be
- 9:19victimized.
- 9:20But
- 9:21victim
- 9:21is
- 9:22a
- 9:22position
- 9:23where
- 9:23you
- 9:23feel
- 9:24power
- 9:25to
- 9:25do
- 9:25anything.
- 9:26And
- 9:26I
- 9:26used
- 9:26to
- 9:27say
- 9:27this
- 9:27to
- 9:27my
- 9:27kids,
- 9:27and
- 9:28they
- 9:28could
- 9:28tell
- 9:28you,
- 9:28they
- 9:29would
- 9:29get
- 9:29really
- 9:30irritated
- 9:30with
- 9:30me
- 9:31because
- 9:31I
- 9:31would
- 9:31say,
- 9:32you
- 9:32always
- 9:32have
- 9:32a
- 9:33choice.
- 9:33And
- 9:33they'd
- 9:33say,
- 9:34well,
- 9:34not
- 9:34if
- 9:34someone
- 9:34has
- 9:34a
- 9:35gun
- 9:35to
- 9:35your
- 9:35head.
- 9:35I
- 9:35say,
- 9:36I
- 9:36didn't
- 9:36say
- 9:36they
- 9:37were
- 9:37good
- 9:37choices.
- 9:37I
- 9:38said
- 9:38there
- 9:38were
- 9:38choices,
- 9:39that
- 9:39there
- 9:39is
- 9:39always
- 9:40a
- 9:40choice.
- 9:41And
- 9:41so
- 9:41often
- 9:42we
- 9:42put
- 9:43the
- 9:43ownership
- 9:43of
- 9:44all
- 9:44the
- 9:44choices
- 9:45to
- 9:45the
- 9:45people
- 9:45who
- 9:46are
- 9:46holding
- 9:46more
- 9:47of
- 9:47the

- 9:48without
- 9:48respecting
- 9:49where
- 9:49we
- 9:49have
- 9:50the
- 9:50power.
- 9:51I
- 9:51think
- 9:52deep
- 9:52and
- 9:52meaningful
- 9:53messages
- 9:53in
- 9:53all
- 9:53of
