The Narrative Pivot is an interactive DUMB™ Leadership Lab that helps business owners and leaders understand how their internal language influences their decisions, actions, and results. Participants will identify recurring thought patterns and explore practical language shifts that better support their leadership and intended direction.
How Internal Language Shapes Results
The way you speak to yourself matters.
Your internal dialogue influences how you interpret challenges, make decisions, communicate with others, and determine what feels possible. When that narrative does not support the direction you want to go, it creates friction between your intentions and your actions.
Over time, that friction can appear as hesitation, inconsistency, unproductive reactions, or repeated results that do not reflect what you are trying to accomplish.
The Narrative Pivot is an interactive DUMB™ Leadership Lab designed to help business owners and leaders recognize how their internal language shapes their behavior and results. Through guided reflection, structured exercises, and practical discussion, participants will examine recurring thought patterns and learn how small shifts in language can create greater alignment between direction, action, and outcomes.
During this session, you will explore how to:
Identify how internal dialogue shapes your interpretation, behavior, and results
Recognize repeated thinking patterns that limit your possible responses
Understand how language reflects underlying beliefs
Examine how you think, speak, and respond under pressure
Apply practical language shifts that support more consistent action and results
You will leave with a clearer understanding of how your internal narrative influences your leadership and a practical approach for shifting the patterns that no longer support where you want to go.
This session is for business owners and leaders who notice recurring patterns in how they respond to challenges, experience results that do not reflect their intended direction, or want their thinking and communication to better support their goals.
The Narrative Pivot is presented by Dr. W. Garrett Goggans of Goggans Consulting as part of Connectionmark’s August Business Decision Series™. Learn more about The Narrative Pivot.
