The Creation of North Framework and its Purpose
As an Olympic water polo player, the focus for Toby was ‘How good could I be?’ Then as the founder of Blue Wire Digital Marketing it shifted to ‘How good could this team be?’
Under significant stress both professionally and personally Toby reconnected with Jonah, who explained the importance of values; a cornerstone piece of work for people to live the lives they want especially when pressure is prominent.
Through acknowledging the myth of sacrifice vs choice; and knowing we have the choice of response – the mission of the North Framework was founded. It is to create conditions of high performance, through helping people change their relationship with pressure so they address their stresses and flip that switch to reconnect to what they have inside them (competences) and exercise them to full capacity.
The Difference Between Goal Setting vs “Goal Setting in the Service of Values”
Many people are successful through society metrics: high income, wife, gold medal, five-bedroom house, however if you look closely there is often low fulfilment and ill health.
As Jonah says you must architect your life; you can have it all and maintain high goals, however you need to be very intentional with what you do. Importantly, this is attainable when you understand what it’s all in the service of, ‘how do I do the things that matter, with the people that matter in a values-based way.’
Values to Help Navigate Stress
Toby was looking everywhere outside of himself for answers, however after doing the Domains profile with Jonah it was evident work was the aspect of his life that was deeply unsatisfying him and causing this ‘lost’ feeling.
Values create an anchor internally; you carry this with you all the time as values are a tool for moment-to-moment decision making, opposingly goals do not endure once succeeded they are ticked off. Furthermore, values are behaviours, once you understand how they look behaviourally, you can stop focusing on the pain or how hard something is and shift the focus to how important it is. Understand the difference between enjoyment and happiness; you want to aim for enjoyment – you don’t hear people saying they were laughing on their way up Mt Everest, but you hear people say they enjoyed that challenge. People that live interesting lives experience challenges and intense experiences and enjoy this journey.
Candidates and their Selective Process Around Values & Leadership of Companies
It is about value proposition - focus on the individual first and then the company values come to light.
Firstly, it is important to understand the company values don’t need to be your values, but it is important they somewhat ali
