We’re guessing that the past few years have requ

We’re guessing that the past few years have required you in your role as leader to pivot and adapt. And just when you thought it was over, successive waves of COVID, lockdowns and rising infection rates reminded you that ‘now was not the time to rest’.
How and when have you taken stock and acknowledged what’s happened in work and life, and how life has changed in order to begin to synthesise your experience? We’re talking more than a chat over a glass of beer or wine. We’re suggesting a meaningful period of time to pause and consider what’s changed for you.
This is all the more important if you’re the boss. It’s possible that you were too busy looking after everyone else’s concerns and those of your enterprise to give yourself the gift of this space – so we dare you to be a little self-indulgent now!
Take the time to pause, reflect and answer these questions:
1. In the past 2.5 years what’s changed for you? Not your business, not your team – just you!
2. What’s changed in the way you work, the hours you work and the load you bear at work?
3. What’s changed for your family unit and what impact has this had on you these past years?
4. What new expectations have been placed on you in this pandemic era?
5. Who continues to place expectations on you?
6. Are these expectations open to re-negotiation or change?
We’ve seen a whole new range of expectations emerge for leaders and the expectation has been to absorb them - in addition to business as usual.
The thing is, if you don’t check in on what these expectations are, appreciate the breadth of expectations, acknowledge the new ones or challenge what’s up for renegotiation, it’s possible that such expectations go unchecked and you don’t get the chance to recalibrate.

There are expectations we have of ourselves as lea

There are expectations we have of ourselves as leaders – to be self-motivated, to strive, to set, achieve and re-set goals and to support and enable those around us to do the same.
These expectations were perfectly normal pre 2020. Back then our lives were punctuated by patterns and rhythms that in the main served us. Patterns that included rest, travel, vacations and hobbies. These were all undertaken with a sense of safety and confidence. We knew the systems. We could often predict our outcomes with relative confidence. We could design and plan our businesses with relative assurance.
Since early 2020 however, we’ve had to dig deeper in the motivation stakes, strive harder and for many of us work longer. If we’ve thrived these past years, we’ve probably become ultra-proficient at re-setting goals and we’ve probably drawn deeply on our personal energy reserves to do it.
There is no doubt that our lives have been profoundly transformed through this pandemic era. The challenges that we experience are equally opportunities to reflect on the quality of our existence and our satisfaction with our own life.
This month, we will be focused on helping you explore your sense of drive and satisfaction with your current choices in leadership and life. Conversation is inspired from this months blog, "Confronting Your 'Lack of Drive'", which can be accessed by clicking the link in our bio.

When experiencing overwhelm, it can be helpful to

When experiencing overwhelm, it can be helpful to break down the series of things that have you feeling the emotion.
Make a list of those things that are contributing to your sense of overwhelm and begin to consider the steps you can take to resolve the items on the list or move forward.
At this point in time, it might be helpful to find a trusted friend, colleague, or even a Coach and to share with them what’s happening for you and to have them help you make sense of your reality – or the way you’re generating your reality.
Sharing with someone else helps you step back and look a little more objectively at your list and prioritise the things you can move forward.
It also speaks to the old saying “a problem shared is a problem halved”.
Who can you reach out to and confide in the next time you feel overwhelmed?

In order to effectively shed work, share work or e

In order to effectively shed work, share work or ensure the quality standards meet your specification, the quality of your request matters.
Take some time to mindfully prepare what it is you want done, the specific standards of performance you expect and how you want the work delivered.
Failing to clarify these aspects of the work ahead of delegating, may cause you a whole series of other problems at the end of the line.
