Self-pity creeping in?

What is in the category of 'too late' for you?
Is it really?
Who and what influenced that definition, those thoughts or 'that way'?

Clear is kind, isn't it?

Perhaps we can also normalize that not all dreams come true, not all expected outcomes within expected outcomes are a current reality.

May we also normalize that almost all of life is dynamic. Indeed our bodies are a process, not merely an entity. May we also normalize that we have become attached to the structure, rather than the form.

Notice and name your narrative, and the attachment to its confines.

It is never too late to make a new friend, to have a courageous conversation or to lead yourself well.

You have my best.

December is here (one week in already).

Pause.
Check in with yourself.
Cognitive check-in.
Interoception check-in.
Proprioception check-in.

What if December's self-leadership focus was being-related rather than doing-related?

What if?

December can be an incredibly difficult month to lead yourself well. It's okay not to reach for the stars, or stay addicted to perfection in all things. It's okay to invite wisdom to inform how you will 'be', rather than what you will 'do' this December.

Lead yourself well (while choosing the pace of the race toward quotas, completed lists, balanced budgets, and expectations of self and others by December 31.)

How will you BE?

You have my best.

December - will you continue doing ALL THE THINGS as usual and ADD a flurry of more?

December - what is the gap between your expectations and preferences, and others expectations and preferences?

December - what is your vision of an ideal December?

December - what is the vision of your colleagues, staff, partner, family, friends of an ideal December?

December - what is in your control and what is not in your control?

December - what thoughts will remain as contemplative or wishful thoughts and what thoughts will you move to action this time?

No judgements.
No blame.
No same.

Only a values-based, generous invitation to notice, name and choose what matters for the long game for you, and for those you care about.

December leadership. It may look differently this month. And what if it was gloriously, wonderfully, meaningfully different?
In a good way.

Lead yourself well.

How is your team showing up?

Hmm, interesting.

Notice and Name.
Lead yourself well.
