Sometimes we resort to “amateur psychology” when an area of our life isn’t going the way we’d like. It’s natural to ask WHY and look for answers that often lead to some version of “What’s wrong with me?” What if you could replace that thinking with a new system focused on actions that explore possibilities?In this episode, host Meredith Bell discussed these ideas and many others from The Power of Systems with Trevor Timbeck, who co-authored the book with Steve Chandler. You’ll hear about Trevor’s experiences that led to the realization that everything in life can be viewed as a system. Trevor also shares the system he and Steve created for writing their book that made the process fun and energizing for both of them.You’ll learn two simple questions to ask when evaluating a current system, and you may feel a sense of freedom in hearing how easy it is to start playing with a new one. Trevor has thought deeply about the power of systems, and his brilliance shines through in this conversation. Be prepared to take notes and listen to this episode more than once. There are many thought-provoking insights.About the Guest:&nbsp;Trevor is a coach and author who lives and plays at the intersection of Love, Language and Leadership.
