If you have followed my business adventures since 2019, you will know that I've been changing. And I've been helping a lot of people change along the way.
In fact, helping people change has become my core business.
COVID-19 arrived in my life following 12 months of travel, giving up most of my possessions and getting on a plane with 23kg. I navigated floods, bushfires and moved continents. I had already CHOSEN a big change. So COVID came with relative ease for me.
This placed me in the perfect position to help others when the pandemic hit.
I stepped up my 1:1 mentoring to assist leadership transformation and then quickly designed and launched affordable, group courses for startups needing to change fast. They had a clear, measurable outcome.
But here was the unexpected gift.
Despite my plan to 'teach', people turned up in the course needing something much more profound. I had to respond to what was in front of me, not the content I had created.
People turned up with fear, uncertainty, vulnerability and desire. Personal growth was urgent so I met the agenda of what was needed. Coping strategies and inspiration were prioritised. The group support was profound and the shift was seismic. Outcomes were reached via this unexpected route.
It was the sharing of my intuitive abilities in the courses that was a big shift for me, and guess what, no one blinked! It was welcomed as if it was always expected of me.
It got me thinking, is there something you are not sharing with your customers that may just tip your business into something deeper and greater?
Are you still keeping YOU from your business?
I've also shared new emerging, regenerative narratives with leaders and they responding with effortless desire to transform.
As a business mentor, I can tell you that COVID-19 has accelerated people's willingness and desire to change and I am an honoured witness.
What change is currently required of you?
Are these times an invitation to go deeper or is an urgent need being thrust at you?
Here are some lessons around change expressed magnificently by some names you will recognise which I hope to enter your day with inspired timing.
There is no such thing as failure; failure is just life trying to move us in another direction." Oprah Winfrey
"When it looks like the sun wasn’t going to shine anymore, God put a rainbow in the clouds" Maya Angelou
"It will be Imagination and Innovation that get us all to the other side [of the pandemic]. I know this is a time of enormous loss, but it's also a chance to dream big about our futures together” Steven Spielberg, May 2020
'We have entered an Age of Disruption. What is dying is an old civilisation and a mindset of maximum "me" What's being born is less clear but in no way less significant. It's something that we can feel in many places across Planet Earth. ... a deeper level of our humanity, of who we really are and who we want to be” Otto Scharmer
Here's a brilliant example of a positive COVID response. I was late to the discovery of the GOOD NEWS SHOW as the fourth million viewer on youtube, so you may already know about what John Krasinski has created. Watch it here. The show is a rainbow in a very dark cloud of a pandemic.
And now I leave you with this question.
What do you need to change in your personal or business life?
Do you need help creating some hope or magic and not sure where to start?
Or would you just like to know what question you should be asking? Many 1:1 sessions start this way!
Drop me a line if you would like to work on "the question" in a personal session with me.
It will give you extraordinary momentum and clarification. That is one promise I can keep.
Thank you change-makers for the inspiration you give me every day
