Zoom out to zoom in.
Look ahead to look back.
Observe to lead yourself well, right now in ways that will matter in 20 years.
Decide who you will give your best life to (while you simultaneously earn an income, because hey - you need money and oxygen to live).
Lead yourself well today and tomorrow and the next day.
Grief and loss are messy.
Messy at work.
Messy at home.
Messy internally.
Messy externally.
All of it is messy.
"Sometimes the obsessives among us try to clean it up. We try to make everything neat and tidy and orderly. We make up rules and we try to enforce them. We create boundaries and timelines and schedules.
It doesn't work though.
The natural chaos of our grief is more powerful than any container we try to put it in. So we might as well let it be messy and trust there's meaning in the messiness."
(writings by Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt)
Normalize the messy leadership path of attending to your mourning and your grief journey.
Lead as well as you can, when you can, without judgement or blame or shame or hurry.
You have my best.
Our current worldview, perspectives and default behaviours have been shaped by our lived experience and origin stories.
In my opinion, it's a wise choice to pause the default thinking/being/doing to observe the context of our struggle and our drivenness (or lack of same).
It's a brave new world to talk about things other than weather, and tangibles and numbers and a myriad of other externals.
Lead yourself well in acknowledging and normalizing how you've been shaped to be the you, that you are right now.
Lead internally as well as externally.
The wonderful thing about being a control freak (aren't we all?) is that we can choose CLARITY on what is in within our control and what is not.
The interesting thing about being a control freak is that we often spend so much energy and time (years and lifespans) giving our best efforts to what we think we can control - and we miss out on giving our focus to the things which are in our control.
Personal development is an expansive dynamic arena of what is ours to influence and change.
Surprisingly and delightfully, as we focus on our personal development, many externals shift: our worldview, our mindset and perspective and *miraculously* influence our peace, confidence, quality of life and meaningful satisfaction for the duration of our days on this planet.
Personal development groups are for individuals who are ready, willing and able to take control of what is within their control.
The learnings in this group are super fun, enlightening, transformative and will be applicable from the boardroom table to the dinner table (applicable to work and life / applicable to professional and personal environments).
