The tool is The Model.

It was created by Brooke Castillo.

She's the founder of the Life Coach School, where I became a certified coach.

And The Model has five parts, C-T-F-A-R.

I'm your host, Dr. Amy Vertries.

I'm a general surgeon, certified coach, and founder of the Boss Business and Surgery Series.

This is where you'll learn those lessons, not talk residency.

Welcome back.

This is what they see.

I wonder what they see.

What do I want them to see? And not them in the person in front of you, but what is the reflection that I want the world to see about me? I found this lesson really helpful from my coach, Brooke Castillo.

So it's an important distinction that we can make in the situation.

We'll go into the research and what this actually means.

I've done the personal work, learned from people like Eckhart Tolle, Tony Robbins, Brooke Castillo, Byron Katie, really, really good thought leaders, as well as looking into the research, people like Daniel Kahneman, people who have done the work on the neuroscience and the brain to really show what happens for us when we're thinking.

And the truth is, we're really not thinking intentionally or deliberately most of the time.

What's happening is often automatic, and it's often repeated over and over, and a lot of that, in fact, the majority of it, is negative, and that's not helping us.

That's just a little tip there.

So that's the habitual.

The, the work that I've done in being a certified life coach as well is from Brooke Castillo, and one of the things she does is distinguishes the fact, what happened, that's neutral, that could be proved in a court of law, and then the thought we have about it and then how we feel when we think that thought.

And then when we feel something, we're typically taking actions from that emotion, and that's where we get our results is from the actions that we take.

And it's so small, but it's so effective.

It was something that I learned in the leadership program that I took from Brooke Castillo, who was my original mentor.

teacher of and coaching certification um trainer and she taught a leadership program and one of the tools that they gave in that program was something called filters they were sort of communication filters and they were there were different ones there were three different ones there was ones for ideas there was another one for um questions and then i can't remember exactly what the third one was um it might come to me in a minute but it was sort of relevant to depending on what your business was but those first two for sure are applicable for all businesses questions and ideas oh the third one is a decision filter um so questions ideas and decision filters and they were basically a little template that was created once thought out quite well but created once for each of those things And every single person, every single member of the team had one of each of those things or they had access to these templates that they could fill in.

And any time anyone had a decision, an idea pop into their head that they thought was a good idea for the company or a question based on, you know, around a task that they were supposed to be doing or a project or something like that.
