The 5 Levels of Agreement – More Success Less Disappointment

The 5 levels of agreement are a tool to let us know what we are agreeing to, get more of our requests agreed to, and to align our expectations with reality.  What do we do if people aren't keeping the agreements we make?  I offer a tool to dig deeper, understand why, and have a better chance of getting what we want.

In this video I talk about agreements, give examples of well known agreements that aren't kept, explain the 5 Levels of Agreement, and aligning our expectations with reality:

I first heard of the 5 Levels of Agreement from Dr. Neha Sangwan, she gave a talk at a Hay House event I attended.  Phycology today wrote an article on the talk.

If people are not keeping the agreements we make there are usually core wounds from childhood that are coming up.  In this next video I give an example from my childhood where my father and I had different levels of agreement on time:

RRR – Relationship Repair and Reconnect

RRR - Relationship Repair and ReconnectLearn to repair and reconnect our relationship when we get into a fight or something happens that we are struggling to get over.  Feel that lovey dovey close connection again, feel safe, restore trust, and grow into each other.  Here I share techniques, practices, tools that help us build the relationship we want.

After cluelessly flailing in my first marriage I wanted to know what happened and how I could avoid that pain, and cocreate the relationship I have always believed is possible.  So I reached out for help, I was ready to be a student and the teachers appeared.  I have trail by fire tested these tools and practices over the past decade and I guarantee they work.  I am in the relationship of my dreams and we are cocreating the ship we both always dream of.  The more we use these tools and do these practices the more intimate and creative we are, and the closer and safer we both feel, a true power couple.

In the below video I share an example of a fight my girlfriend and I got into and how we used a repair practice to reconnect:

AFS Silk Review

I've had around 20 surf sessions on the AFS Silk 850 foil, and also 3 wing foiling sessions.

Here I show video from those sessions and talk about what I like, any short comings, and compare this hydrofoil to the F-One Sk8 850.

I'm excited to share this and test ride more AFS gear.  I got my AFS Silk from Covewater in Santa Cruz. I am using the Stringfellow adapter to Axis mast.

Foil Drive Review

Foil DriveTest and review of the Foil Drive Assist Max.

I tested the Foil Drive Gen 2 in flat water, in downwind conditions, and prone surf foiling.  Also I am reverse engineering the Foil Drive to asses the value, and ability to hack or upgrade.  Let's explore together if the Foil Drive is a viable way to get more waves and time on foil, or all the things the critics say about it.

Big thanks to Cort at 101 Surfsports who lent me the entire prone Foil Drive, board, and foil setup in the photo.  Also huge thanks to Evan of Axis at Live2kite who lent me his personal Foil Drive and let put it on my mast and give it a thorough test, also I saw a really cool Axis/FD integration that might be available soon...

Code Foil Review

Code 1300Review of the Code 1300 S foil.  I tested the Code 1300 hydrofoil winging, and on a short surf session. The video in this review is of me winging the code foil.  I talked about how it feels, what conditions I would ride it, and what I believe it's designed for and does well at. Cort at 101 Surfsports let me demo the Code foil.
