I got to spend 2.5 days last week in San Diego with 30 corporate directors. We were exploring both the inner journey and the outer journey of leadership, and the primary agenda item was self-reflection and self-care.
Normally these folks are go, go, go every day so to take a few days out and just be for a little bit is hard. To have fun while being introspective is even harder.
But as I saw people start to relax into the week, to talk with each other and really listen, to put down their phones for just a bit, to take a step back and figure out what they really wanted for their leadership, I could see how much this was needed. As someone said as they were departing, this was time well spent on something I never realized I needed. Amen to that.
Of course, I knew it when I saw the run on ice cream on the second afternoon…pure joy.
Try this ONE thing
Ask yourself if you are taking enough time for self-reflection and self-care. I’m betting that would be time well spent for you too!
What can you schedule in to your calendar right now?
Hey! Are you already successful and accomplished? Do you have many things to appreciate about your life right now? Are you always open to learning more and growing yourself?
Despite all your successes, do you sometimes doubt yourself? Do you hesitate to go after what you really want in life?
Or maybe you dismiss your past successes, putting them down to luck, and don’t really see how extraordinary you really are?
If this sounds like you, you and I should have a conversation. Drop me a line here, karen.laidlaw.theONEthing@outlook.com,and let’s talk!
