I'll never see SLT as anything other than Senior Leadership Team. So I'm going to call them SLB's: Self Limiting Beliefs.
Most people don't know they have them and it needs someone else's perspective to let them know.
Just today my 10 year old made Spaghetti Carbonara pretty much on his own, he asked if he could help, I told him he could just do it.
He followed the recipe, told me what he wanted me to do to help him, I called him Chef (It's a sign of respect) and he smashed not only the meal but also one of his SLB's.
Thanks for outlining something we might not have thought about.
Self Limiting Beliefs also works! To be honest SLT was not occupied yet in my mind, so if I ever need to start calling Senior Leadership Team SLT, I thought they're not limiting my thoughts on improvements, haha!
Thank you for commenting this nice, little anecdote of yours Mark! I truly enjoyed reading about it, it brought a smile to my face!
I'm sure your son (and now new personal Chef) is amazing. His own take on the closed 3 choices and you going for a walk that you wrote in the notes proves he's quite smart!
Spaghetti Carbonara is a great dish to know how to cook! His own adult self will thank him!
Great post Francisca. You are right, usually when we are in the thing we were thinking so long about, it is much easier and all those SLTs seem to disappear.
Sometimes all you need is to have your body dish all of that and embrace survival mode. Or be so much in the flow that we forget about what was distracting us to begin with!
SLT - that’s an acronym I can understand. Being on Substack is helping me to push through it, just like you did on the hike. As you said, you fall, and then you get back up!

Thank you for writing this. SLT - Glad to know there's a name for what I feel at times.
