How are you? I mean really – how are you?
This might sound funny, but I’ve been wondering about you…
About how you're thinking about yourself and your plan for the future.
About how you’re feeling about yourself and your purpose.
About whether you’re feeling stuck or prepared or burned out (or something else?).
If you asked me, my honest answer is that I’m frazzled.
Let’s be real: it’s hard to focus on our own priorities when our democracy is crumbling in front of our eyes. And yet –
Your life can’t stop just because our government is in crisis.
You still need to make money.
You still need to make decisions – about your next steps for work, about your plans for your family, and all the rest.
You still want to dream. You still want to plan for the future.
And you deserve to.
This week I saw the magic that happens when we set aside time to plan.
My client – a smart, capable, talented woman – came to me feeling stuck in her current role and overwhelmed by all her options.
Should she stay in her field? Should she try something totally new?
It felt like being stuck in a maze with no idea of how to reach the exit… should I turn left, or go right? And running around in that maze, with no direction or plan, left her feeling exhausted, confused and uninspired.
In our 3-hour coaching session – collaborating on creative activities in a virtual whiteboard – we tuned into her values and priorities. We evaluated her ideas for the future. And we identified her next action steps.
You know what she told me at the end of our session? That she was surprised!
⭐Surprised by how clear her next steps are.
⭐Surprised by how exciting her potential options are.
⭐Surprised by how much we accomplished in such a short time.
You can be surprised, too!
Yes, this is a very dark time. Call your Senators and Representatives. Speak up for and protect people in your community with less power and privilege. Stay in the fight.
And – there can be light. There can be surprise!
Make your plan.
Get clear on your priorities for the next week, month, quarter.
Outline your next steps, and take action. And keep going.
When you’re ready to make your plan, let’s do it together.
Onward,
