Own
Worst
Enemy

one of the most

YOWE has to prevent
you from thinking big
and acting on your
dreams

26. Low self-esteem
is often an
excuse for
not trying

29. Three strategies to
help you conquer
YOWE

30. Strategy #1
Make fear
your ally

31. Fear is the most serious
of all learning disabilities!
Edward Hallowell: Worry

32. The absence of fear
is not courage...

33. The absence of fear
is brain damage!

34. Anxiety
Fear
Worry

35. Anxiety

37. Three bad things happen
when you in the thrall of
anxiety…

38. Bad Thing #1
Memory is distorted: past successes
seem small and insignificant while
past failures seem huge and certain to
be repeated.

39. Bad Thing #2
Perception is distorted: the dangers
facing you are blown out of proportion
while you underestimate the
resources you have.

40. Bad Thing #3
Vision is distorted: you cannot
see the possibilities for a great
outcome because you are so
fixated on images of doom.

41. Anxiety tries to
become fear.
Paul Tillich: The Courage to Be

42. Fear

43. You’ve heard that the
acronym F.E.A.R. stands
for Fantasized Evidence
Appearing Real.
It also stands for…

44. Fabulous Excuse
for Avoiding
Responsibility

45. Are people
afraid of
change?

47. Worry

48. Worry is like paying
interest on a debt
that you might not
even owe!

49. Toxic worry is abuse
of the God-given gift
of imagination!

51. Strategy #2
Make adversity
your teacher

52. Every great accomplishment was
once the “impossible dream” of a
dreamer who simply refused to quit
when things got tough.

53. “It’s not what happens to you it’s
what you do about it.”
W Mitchell

54. “Brick walls are not
there to stop you, they
are there to make you
prove how much you
want something.”
Randy Pausch: The Last Lecture

55. The walls are
not optional

56. Letting them
stop you is

57. How much
do you
want it?

58. Strategy #3
Erase the malignant
echo of negative
self-talk

59. Negative self-talk is
telling yourself lies…
And then believing
those lies to be true.

60. The most important
speech any of us ever
give (the one you were
never trained to give) is...

62. 62
What is the first
word every child
learns to say?

63. The human mind
automatically gravitates
toward negative, frightening
and depressing thoughts.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: The Evolving Self:
A Psychology for the New Millennium

64. Experts refer to ANTs –
automatic negative thoughts

68. 68
A crucial point!
That voice will always be
in the second person. It’s
not you talking!!!

69. “I’m not good
enough”

70. You’re not
good enough

71. Why is
that?

73. 73
Three steps for using the
power of Metaphorical
Visualization™ to erase the
graffiti of negative self-talk:

74. 74
Step #1
Visualize the words as clearly as
you possibly can as graffiti that has
been scrawled on the walls of your
mental attic.

77. 77
Step #2
Visualize a janitor (The Janitor
in Your Attic) painting over the
graffiti and replacing it with
positive affirmations.

79. Step #3
Replace the bad lies you tell
yourself about yourself with
good lies about yourself…

81. Why this matters
now more than
ever

82. “A silent epidemic, a great threat to
patient safety, an ugly secret in the
most caring of professions, these are
just a few of the ways that incivility
and bullying have been referred to.”
Edmonson, Bolick and Lee: A Moral Imperative for
Nurse Leaders: Addressing Incivility and Bullying in
Health Care, Nurse Leader, February 2017

84. More people disagree than agree!

85. Only 39% agree
(and almost no one
strongly agrees)

87. “Roughly 60 percent of new RNs quit
their first job within 6 months of being
bullied, and one in three new graduate
nurses considers quitting nursing
altogether because of abusive or
humiliating encounters”
https://www.americannursetoday.com/break-the-bullying-cycle/

88. “She laughed at my questions when I dared ask
them... She also let me know she was willing to
throw me under the bus.” http://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/preceptor-from-
hell-1088911.html?awt_l=6J3lI&awt_m=3gy9jxym26oxpx0
February 5, 2017

89. “People complain and gossip but refuse to get
involved. They won't come to staff meetings, they
won't join committees, they won't offer solutions.”

1089398.html?awt_l=6J3lI&awt_m=3Zwn_z.R66oxpx0

94. Actual result for a multi-
hospital system:
$119,000,000

95. TEN kills people –
it is the invisible
quality chasm

96. “The negative impact of incivility can be
significant and far-reaching and can affect
not only the targets themselves, but also
bystanders, peers, stakeholders, and
organizations. If left unaddressed, it may
progress in some cases to threatening
situations or violence.”

97. In one survey of more than 4,500 healthcare
professionals, 71 percent tied disruptive
behavior, such as abusive, condescending or
insulting personal conduct, to medical errors,
and 27 percent tied such behavior to patient
deaths.

98. The healthcare
crisis within

99. Our people
LOVE our
culture

100. Really?

101. 101
The simple promise that
will change your life…
And change your
organization…

103. 103
Important!
The Pickle Pledge is about
whining – it does not mean
you don’t identify real
problems!

104. The Pickle Challenge
has taken on a life of
its own!

105. 105

a new language – a lighthearted
approach to confronting toxic
attitudes and behaviors

111. You’re being a Pickle,
Doc… Please put a
quarter in the jar.

112. Caveat: You will get resistance
to The Pickle Challenge.
It will be most vociferous from
people who could most benefit
from taking it to heart.

115. The first 30 organizations to take
The Pickle Challenge for Charity
raised over $60,000

116. The campaign to raise
one million dollars for
charities by turning 4
million complaints into
contributions

in a shared vision…
