Sister Harmonia: the model for finding win-win solutions when there are disagreements.

Miss Moneypenny: when it’s time to be sensible (especially about money).It’s fun to give each of your Alter Egos a name and useful because it can call up a set of qualities very quickly. The Kid will come across an unread magazine and start reading it, which will lead to looking up something on the internet, to checking email, to remembering that you wanted to post something on your website… 4 hours later, your office looks the same or maybe slightly worse.įor clearing your office, you need your Attila the Hun sub-personality. However, leaving the Curious Kid in charge of clearing the mess in your office is asking for trouble.

This is the part of you that loves to explore new ideas, places, and activities. My favorite example is that we all have a “Curious Kid” sub-personality. If you leave the wrong one in charge for an important task, it doesn’t get done well, and sometimes it doesn’t get done at all. The problem is that most of the time, we leave it to chance which of these sub-personalities is in charge. One comes out when we’re partying with friends, another when we have to give an important presentation, another when we stand up for ourselves when unfairly challenged, and so on. The Alter Ego Strategy is based on the fact that all of us have many different sub-personalities. In this lesson, we look at an unusual way to make sure you’re in the right frame of mind when you take on any task.
