4. Austin Powers MOJO

5. MOJO – Definitions • MOJO is the moment when we do something that’s purposeful, powerful, and positive and the rest of the world recognizes it. • MOJO is: that positive spirit - toward what we are doing – now – that starts from the inside – and radiates to the outside.

6. MOJO • MOJO is at its peak when we are experiencing both happiness and meaning in what we are doing and communicating this experience to the world around us. • Short-Term (Satisfaction) • Long-Term (Meaning)

7. MOJO – Paradox “What really matters” in your life? • Health • Wealth • Relationships • Happiness • Meaning Our default response in life is • Not to experience Happiness. • Not to experience Meaning. • To experience inertia.

8. MOJO vs. NOJO I Feel Good WHEN I FEEL BAD WHEN • Personally • Professionally • Personally • Professionally

NOJO vs. MOJO NOJO • Play the Victim • March in Place • Satisfied with the bare minimum • Feel obliged to do it • Tolerate requirements • Endure it • Painful to be around • Resentful • Uninterested • Indifferent • Zombie-like • Asleep MOJO • Take Responsibility • Move Forward • Run the Extra Mile • Love Doing It • Appreciate opportunities • Make the best of it • Inspirational • Grateful • Curious • Caring • Zest for Life • Awake

10. MOJO – Key factors • MOJO is impacted by four key factors: • Identity – Who do we think we are? • Achievement – What have we done lately? • Reputation – Who do other people think you are and what have you done lately? • Acceptance – What can you change and when do you need to just “let it go”?

11. Where You're “Living” High Long Term (Meaning) Low Low Short Term (Happiness) High

12. Identity

13. # 1 Identity You discover your identity by simply answering the question: Who do you think you are?

14. # 1 Identity • Identity is a complicated subject, and we make it even more complicated we’re not sure where to look for the answer.

15. # 1 Identity • The further you go back into your past, the greater the chances that your ‘Remembered Identity” doesn’t match up with who you are today.

16. Identity FUTURE OTHERS SELF PAST

17. # 1 Identity • Even if your ‘Reflective Identity” is accurate, it doesn’t have to be predictive. We can all change!

18. # 1 Identity • If you change your behavior, but not your identity, you may feel “phony” or “unreal,” no matter how much you achieve.

19. # 1 Identity • To change your MOJO, you may need to either create a new identity for yourself or rediscover an identity you have lost.

20. Achievement

21. #2 Achievement You discover your achievements by simply answering the question: What have you done lately?

22. # 2 Achievement • Both Professional and Personal MOJO are connected to achievement, just two different types of achievement. • Personal MOJO is what the activity brings to you. • Professional MOJO is what you bring to the activity.

23. # 2 Achievement Professional MOJO • Motivation • Knowledge • Ability • Confidence • Authenticity Personal MOJO • Happiness • Reward • Meaning • Learning • Gratitude P. 26&27

24. # 2 Achievement • Achievement makes others aware of our ability. It happens every time we do something that’s measured or rated by someone else.

25. # 2 Achievement • In some cases, people’s self-assessment of how they do a job is more meaningful to them than what their superiors think. • One of the biggest mistakes high achievers make is in overestimating their contribution to a success.

26. # 2 Achievement • If you want to increase your MOJO, you can either change the degree of your achievement or change the definition of your achievement. • Influence up as well as down. Both are important to achieve something significant.

27. Reputation

28. Reputation

29. # 3 Reputation You discover your reputation by simply answering the question: Who do people think you are?

30. # 3 Reputation • A key element in protecting your reputation is taking “preventative medicine” to ensure it doesn’t get damaged • You cannot create your reputation by yourself (the rest of the world always has something to say about it), but you can influence it.

31. # 3 Reputation • We confuse our need to consider ourselves smart with our need to be considered effective by the world. • We’re so invested in presenting ourselves as smart that we don’t hear everything that people tell us.

32. # 3 Reputation • After all, what’s more frustrating than believing you’re smart, yet being powerless to impact a world that believes you are not? • Choosing to be effective rather than smart ultimately pays off in your reputation, your achievement, and your MOJO,

33. Perspective

34. # 3 Reputation • The connection between your reputation and your MOJO should be self-evident. • A negative opinion is usually left unexpressed rather than shared. • When other people see a pattern of resemblance, that’s when they start forming your reputation.

35. # 3 Reputation

36. # 3 Reputation • Only when you demonstrate your effectiveness in handling crisis after crisis will your reputation for “shining at crunch time” take shape. • One event can’t form your reputation. One corrective gesture can’t reform your reputation either.

37. # 3 Reputation • You need a sequence of consistent, similar actions to begin the rebuilding process of your reputation. • Do it right the first time, and you may never have to change your ways.

38. # 3 Reputation • By impacting your reputation you can impact your MOJO. • Having a great reputation – in an area that matters in your life – makes MOJO maintenance more of a joy than a chore.

39. Acceptance - USS Montana

40. # 4 Acceptance You discover acceptance by simply answering the question: When can you let go?

41. # 4 Acceptance • We believe that achieving a goal will somehow make us happy, conveniently ignoring the fact that the goal line always moves slightly beyond our reach. • Worrying about the past and being anxious about the future can easily destroy your MOJO.

42. # 4 Acceptance • When everything around us seems confusing, acceptance reminds us what really matters. • You don’t have to like them, agree with them, or even respect them. Just accept them for being who they are.

43. # 4 Acceptance • Change what you can and “let go” of what you cannot change. • Name it. Frame it. Claim it.

44. Stealing Our MOJO

45. MOJO Killers • When you have high MOJO, you have more opportunities. That is a good thing, but if you get carried away, that might be what kills your MOJO. • Don’t over commit. Before replying with an enthusiastic “yes” to the next request, think of the long-term impact on your MOJO,

46. MOJO Killers • The key question to ask all the time: • What path would I take if I knew that the situation would not get better?

47. MOJO Killers • While our minds need order and fairness, much of life is neither fair nor just. That’s a problem for many of us and is a MOJO killer. • You had to invest a big piece of yourself in your work. • That “investment” may have stopped paying off without you being aware of it.

48. MOJO Tool Kit • Getting and keeping MOJO is not an overnight activity. But you can get it and keep it, Brick by brick. • Changing You is not preferable or easier than changing It (and vice versa). The best approach depends on the situation.

49. MOJO Tool Kit • It is your life. If your MOJO is suffering, no one can make the “You vs. It” decision for you. • Setting ground rules for your life can start you on the path toward great MOJO.

50. MOJO - Toolbox IDENTITY • Establish Criteria That Matter to You. • Find Out Where You’re “Living”. • Be the Optimist in the Room. • Take Away One Thing. • Setting ground rules for your Life. • Defined by how we balance satisfaction and benefit. • Go for it and do not be afraid to look foolish. • Eliminate something big from your daily schedule.
