Are you also sometimes asking yourself: Am I deserving of this? Am I deserving of having a great time? Am I deserving of having this amount of positive energy in my life? Am I worth it?

And the answer to all of those is a resounding yes. Yes. Yes. Yes you are deserving and yes you are worthy. You are deserving and worthy of all good things and love. Full stop. If you need a reason, here it is: because you exist.

Up Your Domination Game

Why?

I’m publishing this article here on my coaching website as I’m convinced that practices and values present in the BDSM community can help a leader in this modern world grasp fundamental knowledge about humans and leadership and gain valuable insights into behaviour and dynamics, even if they don’t know much about BDSM or don’t want to practice it themselves.

As a Dominant in your D/s type of play, you already put a huge amount of care and consideration into creating a safe, sane and consensual scene for your submissive with the intent to lead to deeper pleasure and explore boundaries and push them ever so slightly for growth. The growth of both Dominant and submissive. There is a perceived discomfort in going further and this is the exploration and negotiation between the two that leads to more depth.

pain and pleasure

Achieving deeper levels of fulfilment by choice

When looking at punishment and reward in terms of educational methodologies, it’s psychologically proven that rewards are more effective than punishment.¹

So far so unsurprising as pleasure promotes a higher state of being than punishment. If everything I believe in turns out to be a shared objective factual experience, that means that there is a natural drive towards a higher state of being, otherwise referred to as the good in every human being, against all odds. The following chart aims to illustrate that, even if pain and pleasure as such are not included. I believe that you know where to rank them, though.

My natural drive goes toward self-improvement and empowerment. Positive emotions are empowering. As we discover, however, it is also required to endure and move past negative emotions and face the pain experienced in that time.

The act of creation is the manifestation of invisible potential into actual tangible reality.

Fear of judgement in expressing emotions is a very common stance which holds us back from having an honest conversation with others and sometimes even ourselves.

Shape your elevator pitch (Networking Series Part 5)

Author — Sat, 29 Oct 2016 22:24:02 +0000

Your elevator pitch, that is the way you’re introducing yourself, should be something you’re working on constantly.

Elevator pitch

One of the most important ways to brand yourself and let people know what you do is your elevator pitch. So how do you make sure you can get your message across the right way? How can you start raking in those requests to be hired by the right people you can help best? Here’s my take on it: Use every networking opportunity as a testing field. Introduce yourself in different ways each time! That will tell you, what resonates best with people.

Branding through events (Networking Series Part 4)

Author — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 21:58:58 +0000

The types of events you attend shape your personal branding.

Events overload

I know you’re part of at least one group that has something to do with networking. And you also get asked a lot to attend major or minor events. It sometimes feels overwhelming and you can’t decide which events to attend. I’ll give you this tool to make a quick yet informed decision of which of all the events will really be the productive one for you. At the beginning of my networking career, you could find me on so many different events. I couldn’t even count how many events I’ve attended, who invited me, and what type of people I have met there. My lack of focus became very obvious when someone commented on Facebook: “Mark is everywhere.” I know they did mean well. Still it opened my eyes to one thing: I didn’t want to brand myself as the jack-of-all-trades you meet everywhere. That simply is not the message I wanted to convey.
