APPROACH
BECOMING OF IMPACT
The 6 pack approach
2. What does it mean to become of IMPACT?
• Becoming of impact is a deliberate, intentional process of
influencing, effecting and affecting the way events,
situations and circumstances happen in your life and in
the life of others mainly by the way you respond to
minute events of life.
• It is a way of life for those who have discovered
themselves and found their space on the planet earth.
• People whose actions are well calculated with little or no
regrets over own engagements. This kind of breed refuse
the orthodox trap and resides in the extra-ordinary zone.

they know they cannot control what happens but
there is a territory they have command and
dominion over, how they respond to circumstance
and events of life.
• They do not usually rush into responding for they
internalized the prudence in Dr Stephen Covey’s
words that, between stimulus and response, one has
the ability to choose.

The 6 pack approach
5. 1. Discovering self
BECOMING OF IMPACT
The 6 pack approach
• According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, self
discovery is the act or process of gaining knowledge
or understanding of your abilities, character, and
feelings
• Self discovery is the first step in the creation and
recreation of the real you. It’s a process that will
make you better understand why you feel what you
feel and why you behave as you behave.

BECOMING OF IMPACT
The 6 pack approach
• That understanding then gives you the
opportunity and freedom to change those things
you’d like to change about yourself and create
the life you want.
• Without knowing who you are, self acceptance
and change becomes impossible.
7. 1. Discovering self
• This is the art of reasoning with self
by engaging your conscience in order
to understand the inherent energy
and abilities trapped inside.
• This process calls for deeper moments of intentional
soliloquy, questioning your ideology and faculties.
• You need to accept that you are in the wilderness and
that there is a place somewhere where life is better – Dr
Justine Chinoperekweyi

8. 1. Discovering
self
• The process starts with inquiry because our brain
have been conditioned by past experiences and
exposure that have shaped our world view.
• Inquiry frees the mind of the dreary and insipid
activities and rob the mind of its creative ability
• The process of inquiry broadens one’s frame of
reference and restores your brain to the default
mode.

9. • This is a mode that is characterized by calmness for
it does not have any current effects of the day
today happenings.
• Fish yourself out of the your every day mundane
undertakings and view them from a distance.
• The process calls for honesty with self as this
determines how far you will spring.

busy-ness you may find yourself in, you might not
have started that which you are called for in life.
• There is a great difference between activity and
progress.

and impact.
• There should be a measure by which you measure
your daily progress towards your bigger picture.

11. • This is a kind of paralysis that have to be cured at
its tender stage for there to be talked of impact and
influence.
• It is through the process of self discovery that one
reverts to their real self.
• Discovering self is not as easy as one might think, it
calls for calibrated effort in defining your real self,
the person you were created by God to become
before all that happened in your life.
1. Discovering
self
12. • Trace yourself back to the point of departure and re-
gather the momentum that is needed to the impact
and influence zone.
• Having gone through the process successfully, you
should have answered these questions.
1. Why am I here?
2. What is it that makes me tick?
3. What do I have to do to be the person I should be?
4. What step can I take now towards the real me?

2. Re order our
life
14. • It is better to pick the remains of yourself now and
build a totally different and meaning you than to keep
on the wrong path knowingly
• life should not be approached in a haphazard way. One
needs to consciously create some form of order in their
life. This only comes when one has a solid life plan that
they follow religiously on a daily basis.
• If I may ask, how many have personal life plans?
• People would rather have some 10 year strategic plans
for their company while their own life is being blown by
the wind to who knows where.

2. Re order your life
• A personal life plan works as a road map to your vision
and dream. With this one is able to measure
performance against target and take corrective action
on points of departure.
• Without a plan, we are normally carried away by
anything that comes for we do not have our own
positioning system.
16. • To emerge is to move out of or away from
something and become visible.
• Are you visible in the marketplace?
• How many people know you and for which
reasons?

right mental attitude, putting on new lances with a
different and enlightened worldview – emerge

encourage, its better to do a copy – edit – paste
