💥 The NAPALM Moment Strategy
NAPALM stands for 'Not A Proud Moment' - those times when we act in ways we're not proud of.
The Race Against Time:
• When these moments happen, it's like a race where the gun goes off
• Be first to call it out in near real time
• Don't fall into the trap of thinking 'maybe it wasn't so bad'
Understanding Ego's Role:
• Shame = ego being hit
• Blame, anger, revenge = ego lashing out
• When ego becomes the primary driving force, it almost always leads to negative outcomes
The key: Acknowledge your NAPALM moments before others do
