How fast do you walk? When do you stroll?
When you use a pen, how quickly do you write?
Where are your shoulders positioned right now?
How deep are your breaths right now?

Sprints of hair-straight-back are common. The occasional marathon of project management, or the mountain climb of life and work demands can certainly add adventure to a life of meaningful contribution.

Double-click on what is driving you to live in a state of hustle, hurry, strive, fix, heal, fomo, never-enough, never-complete, or never-arriving. Notice the message and the language beneath this way of life.

From time to time (as in monthly), it is a sound leadership practise to notice if your attention to self-respect is still intact.

Your goals, aspirations, values and whatever meaning you want out of work and life WILL NEED boundaries of self-respect to preserve your energy, time, mind management, healthspan practises and personal growth.

Double-click on notice and name - and choose progressive, aligned-to-you, boundaries of self-respect.

Some people hesitate to hire a coach because they already know the answers to their challenge. They tell themselves that they just 'need to do it'.

Perhaps the 'just do it' plan works for a few humans for a very low percentage of the time. But for most humans, it's not that easy. If it were easy, everyone would already be doing it.

Let's normalize the unique-to-each-individual-world that lies in between the gap of knowing and doing. Let's talk about that in a trusted, safe and authentic coaching conversation.

Normalize what's real for you so that you can identify the plan of change and growth that suits your complexities and challenges.

Normalize the gap.
Make space to spend time there.

This being human thing is NOT nothing. Connection and 'better together' is a basic, essential universal need, which has been woven into the tapestry since the beginning of time.

Somewhere in the industrial and information, culture shifted the belief and practise of a superior view of self-made, independance. Belief that one should be able to succeed and/or achieve mastery without a village of support, became the expectation.

Folks, that's not working.

Humans survive and thrive when the right team of people are safe enough together than there is authentic empowerment of interdependent strengths moving forward together.

Name the people of your team or village. Say their names.

Just make sure there is a values alignment.
