RisikoBRIEFing - March 2011

RISK INTELLIGENCE…

…means: increasing reliance on internal control. Most people are happy to rely on a combination of their habits and, when in doubt, self-help literature.

What does this achieve? Old habits suggest security. Self-help literature distracts individuals from their own awareness in favour apparent support. It conveys the illusion of systematic action and, upon closer observation, it transpires that it is a skilful strategy for individuals to avoid facing their own complexity. Thus, for example, we are enthusiastic about “simplify” and clear out our cupboards, we enthusiastically grasp the advantages of feng shui and rearrange the furniture in our apartments – but what does this contribute towards our individual development?

It is precisely this individual development with which I am concerned. To this end risk intelligence enables individuals to endure the fundamental uncertainty of life. It is only an individual’s alert observation of their own reality which issues in the truly relevant processes, such as their acceptance of their own life circumstances.

Perhaps my understanding of risk intelligence will match your need for mental renewal and a liveable concept? With this in mind I hope you will find my book a fascinating read!

RISK INTELLIGENCE SELF-COACHING:

Your personal strategy for managing the “normal” risks

How do you typically behave in the face of a precarious situation? Do you undergo a self-realization process and do you become aware of your own very personal model!

I like being distracted. I take a meticulous look.
I take things as they come. I organize from the outset.
I place my faith in a convenient fortuitous event. I ponder alternatives.
I ask others for advice. I listen to my inner voice.
I read everything on the subject which is available. I deliberately choose that which can help me.

the risk intelligence modules (1): EMOTIONs.

A sense of realism, empirical knowledge, action competence and awareness ensue.

Emotions indicate that something affects us on a very personal basis. Emotions are immediate, local and very subjective. What frightens person A can generate a sense of anticipation in person B. Whereas “intellectual” thinking can think everything – irrespective of location, person, point in time – emotions are perfect for drawing our attention in the here and now to the current important situation.
A deer encroaches onto the road – forget Saturday’s guest list which has hitherto been occupying your mind during your journey! Concentrate on the braking manoeuvre. Your body will assist you in this regard: time appears retarded, your perception threshold increases – does anything else exist besides the deer and you?

Your partner announces that he wants to leave you. Note your emotions! What on earth is happening? Dismay, but also relief? Wounded vanity, but also inward gratitude? Focus your attention on your feelings!

We often thinks that emotions weaken us. We suppress them in order to retain control. But this proves to be an illusion because emotions dictate our behaviour and are essential for the purpose of mastering our everyday lives. Awareness makes the difference: either our emotions possess us or we possess our emotions. You decide!
