Leadership Voyage

About Dr. Bridget Cooper in her own words: I'm a cage rattler; a coach, speaker, and author with over two decades of experience helping teams and leaders think and communicate more clearly and strategically so they can work and navigate problems proactively and effectively. I work with clients to overcome the attitudes, tactics, and patterns that derail their success through down-to-earth insights and action plans. I do this through coaching, corporate consulting, and leading workshops that guide and inspire people to live more authentic, peaceful, and powerful lives. My mission is to change the world, one life at a time.

I'm an informative and engaging speaker and collaborator who revels in authentic, thought-provoking, game-changing conversations.

Stress

• Stress = (What we seek to control) MINUS (What we can actually control)
• Notice where we focus our attention: is it on things that we control or not?
• Drama comes from focusing on what others do that upset us, rather than looking inward

Conflict

• Stress and conflict can create a vicious cycle
• Interpersonal conflict and intrapersonal still both stem from self
• Other people are indeed problematic, but we don’t have as much control or influence

Influence

• We have most influence over ourselves
• You’re most likely to influence others with lion energy rather than squirrel energy

Change Your Behavior

• Awareness: identify what’s triggering you
• Acceptance: this is where you are because of your decisions, change could involve loss
• Assessment: what will change encompass, what’s necessary?
• Action: put pen to paper and make the change
• Adjustment: assess and change course as needed

Curiosity may be more powerful than certainty
