Mystery- The Haunted Town Of St. Nazianz, WI

Mystery- The Haunted Town Of St. Nazianz, WI St. Nazians was founded by a priest who wholeheartedly believed to helped cursed the town. Over the years, the town has been hit with natural disasters and unexplained phenomena. Father Ambrose Oschwald was fled to Wisconsin in 1854 from religious persecution. The Roman Catholic Church had suspended him from his duties due to “mystical, prophetic, and heretical works.” Already, the scary history of the town is starting to make sense! Oddly enough, the congregation followed him. Once they got to Wisconsin, a “divine white heifer” lead them to the site of his new home which would become St. Nazianz. The community actually thrived. They titled themselves “The Association” and created an entirely functional society. Tragically, Father Oschwald became sick in 1873. Anton Still, a loyal follower, stayed with Father Osc...

A COURAGEOUS DOG FEARLESSLY FACE TWO LIONS TO SAVE HIS OWNER, DISPLAYING A INCREDIBLE ACT OF HEROISM


 A COURAGEOUS DOG FEARLESSLY FACE TWO LIONS TO SAVE HIS OWNER, DISPLAYING A INCREDIBLE ACT OF HEROISM

In our society it is often the Lion out of all others in the animal kingdom that gets associated with courage. Why is that? Lets look at the facts. 

The Lion is an apex predator weighing in at a cool 220kg with enough power to pull down a full grown buffalo. 

It will drive off younger males from the pride as they mature and could potentially compete for the attention of the females. It has no natural predators but can be driven off a kill by a group of hyaena’s.

 Not exactly the attributes for courage that would make a Mills and Boon hero. A little bit more leaning towards being a bully if you ask me!

The word courage has an origin circa.1300, from Old French corage meaning "heart, innermost feelings”.

 A more modern definition is “mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty”. Now let’s look at this in relation to leadership.

 If we take the Lion metaphor for courage we would play the power card often and hard, and view people around us as a potential threat to be stood up to. 

We would view each interaction as a chance to show our dominance and roar to the world about whose turf it is.

Now I don’t know about you but I’m not sure this is the type of courage that inspires people to follow a leader. 

Lets contrast this with a dog. Dogs tend to be by nature, what you see is what you get. If dogs are happy they let you know it. 

Likewise if they are sad or upset they wear their heart on their sleeve. They are often quick to let you pat them or rub their belly, to be vulnerable. 

They show respect but still like to be playful. And lots of people follow dogs, I see them all the time around my streets, the dog out in front with the owner behind, often willing on the end of a leash!

So coming back to us as human beings, lets review what takes more courage to do. Is it to use our appearance and body language to put on a show or is it to dig deep to consistently say what we really think and feel.

Here’s a concept I use in working with individuals and teams. Its called right hand and left hand column conversations. It’s a pretty simple one. 

Everything you really think and feel can be considered a left hand column conversation, i.e. a conversation with yourself in your own head. Now lets play a little. 

Grab a piece of paper. Yes actually grab one right now. Think of a recent experience where you were upset with someone or they frustrated you or left you confused.
