E53: Rules And Policies Of Possibilities...

SHANNON O’HARA
About this episode

It’s important to know the difference between controlling and compliance and how it actually works.

Shannon chats with Access Consciousness’s Pam Houghteling over how she helps licensed facilitators and educates them about the policies and guidelines of Access Consciousness.

Listen to their conversation on how rules, policies and laws not only apply to Access Consciousness, but in life and choice.

Key takeaways:

  • Know the differences between the rules, policies and laws that create greater for all versus the rules and policies that control but don’t really work
  • Be aware and know your audience; use awareness as your guideline
  • Understand that some things work for some people and not others, choose what works for you
  • Have rules that don’t just try to fix a problem but rather ask questions about what is going to create a greater possibility for everyone
