Life coach and speaker Daisy Papp started support group in destroyed area, inspiring new book

Marathon, Florida (February 14, 2019).  When Hurricane Irma destroyed Daisy Papp’s dream home in the Florida Keys town of Marathon, she reacted differently than most people faced with devastating loss.

“I looked at the enormous hole in our flooring where the ocean had burst through, wreaked havoc and then pulled away everything we owned, and thought, ‘This is factual. I cannot control it.  What I can control is my interpretation,’” she said from temporary housing in Miami Beach. “I decided to act.”

Papp, a highly-trained life coach, author and speaker, organized group-meetings so neighbors could share stories, work through trauma, and support each other.

“From utter devastation came this fantastic experience of people reaching out and helping each other heal,” said Papp.  “We inspired each other to move forward with compassion, openness and tolerance for all.”

The experience galvanized Papp to complete her second book, “The Island Model: A Guide to Emotional Intelligence,” on Amazon.  “I’m dedicating it to everyone in Marathon who handled themselves so mindfully and gracefully during this historic disaster,” she said.  

A powerful yet easy-to-grasp metaphor for our inner lives, the Island Model acknowledges that each of us lives in, not on, our own metaphorical island, a place we cannot leave. “So, it is vital to find the unique treasures in your island, discover how your island became the way it is, and build bridges to other islands in a spirit of curiosity and acceptance,” Papp said.

In encountering other ‘islands,’ or people, Papp says, “the metaphor helps us value their unique character and nature.  Every island develops differently and has its history, treasures and flaws, just like your island,” she adds.

“The Island Model is a life-changing approach that helps us accept and learn from our differences,” Papp said. “We can then create a more tolerant, compassionate society, just as our community did in the wake of Irma,” she said.

Building on the work of psychologist Vera F. Birkenbihl, ‘The Island Model’ weaves in Papp’s experience as a German-born life coach, artist and traveler who has lived all over the world. “In working with hundreds of clients over thousands of sessions, I have seen an almost miraculous increase in mindfulness, emotional intelligence and personal growth among people who internalize the concept,” she said.

“Irma helped me realize it was time to share ideas for living harmoniously with others,” she added. “In a diverse and multicultural world, acceptance and tolerance are more important than ever.”  

“The Island Model: A Guide to Emotional Intelligence” is available on Amazon, and as audiobook on www.daisypapp.com. To interview Daisy Papp, please email [email protected]

 Memulai adalah hal yang sangat sulit dilakukan. Tetapi akan memberikan kesan yang sangat berarti . Saya adalah seorang penulis amatir yang mulai hari ini mencoba memulai hobi  baru untuk belajar menulis :-) jadi harap maklum yah.. ..;-) :-)

  Well kali ini saya ingin membahas masalah bullying yang sudah tidak asing lagi. Tetapi yang jadi pertanyaan adalah . . . .  (terkadang bullying menjadi awal dari pertikaian atau bahkan tindak kriminal ). Kenapa hal itu bisa terjadi ? ? ?

  Sebenarnya ada banyak sekali tujuan dari si pembuli. Kalau kita ingin berfikir positif mungkin saja tujuan utamanya adalah untuk mencairkan suasana (biar lebih santai. Terkadang memang itu cara yang sangat ampuh. Bullying dalam hal ini mungkin masih bisa dimaklumi, asalkan yang paling penting adalah bagaimana cara kita untuk tetap bisa mengontrol kata2 kita dan yang paling penting adalah JANGAN membully fisik seseorang. yahh itu adalah hal yang sensitif dan sering kali melukai hati orang lain. Itu adalah contoh bully garis halus.

 Bullying garis keras menurut saya adalah membully dengan menggunakan kekerasan atau berupa ancaman yang berkonotasi negatif . Bully dalam hal ini sangat riskan adanya tindak kriminalitas. Pada intinya adalah alasan apapun tidak dibenarkan untuk membully . hehe saya adalah salah satu korbab bully sih sebenarnya jadi paham banget gimana rasanya dibully hehehe. Meskipun terkadang bercanda tapi pasti ada lah yang nancep ke hati wkwkwkwk #curhat.
