Choosing Transition For Greater Purpose And Passion

In seeing transition as a way of life, a byproduct of our call, similar to that of a rose, to keep growing, expanding, and coming more and more into the real beauty and authenticity of who we are, we can come to see that call for change as a blessing and as a call to expand.

Whether it is the result of outside forces ending something for us (Notice I didn’t say to us.), or the result of an unspecified impatience, agitation, of calling from within us, transition is the reality that says you have outgrown where you are, what you are doing, and/or how you are doing it. At times that means a call to “more”, at other times it is a call to “different.”

In the ideal world, those calls come when everything else in your life is running smoothly, successfully, and without a wrinkle in sight. In the real world, however, they frequently come when you least expect them. While doing a puzzle, mowing the lawn, or on a call with a friend or business acquaintance. The timing is detailed. The real gift is in knowing it’s time, yet again…

Time for what?

Frequently, we have no clue in those first few sentences we say to ourselves.? We just realize it’s time for a transition, something significant needs to change.

Then comes: Where? How? Why? When confusion quiets down and we breathe, clarity usually happens without any real difficulty.

Perhaps it’s time for greater impact by becoming involved in some form of service, or it’s time to take your career or business to the next level, it’s time to explore changing your lifestyle, to commit to your health, to take that vacation you, as a workaholic, have put off for years.????

The specifics may not be as clear, but the realization, the call, is loud and clear – it was experienced as rush, a joy, a peace, or a wave of pure clarity and realization. It’s at that next point that your fear can show up and you quickly find ways to procrastinate yet again, to over-analyze, to doubt, to question if you really felt that knowing, that realization of greater clarity than you have head in years. You may even want to think you’re making it all up.?

For a moment those reactions can feel like the safest, the easiest, and the smartest response. Nonetheless, something in you knows it was absolutely real, Your soul? Your inner knowing? Your gut instincts? Your own energetic/body experience of that overwhelming clarity that washed over you? The real question is are you going to play it safe, commit self-betrayal, or do the freeing, exciting, and scary work of discovering within yourself, what is next, what you are being called to do??

I began my specialized work in helping leaders in transition because I see the beauty, the freedom, and the call in transition. Perhaps because I have followed so many myself, through the fears, tears, and shifts into a level of freedom, expansion, joy, and peace I never knew. Knowing it means changing you, your perspective on life, and your role in it, not just your situation, can cause you to stop and catch your breath on occasion but what an adventure you get to live.?

To truly live is our calling. To be open to the risks and the growth that entails means opening to you, to love, to connection, and to experiencing a self you may never have known existed. Breathe, pray, and reflect, then jump in. It is so worth it!?

Call if you need help, guidance, or a kick in the backside, I’m good at all three...

In the meantime, have a great week.

Leadership As A Spiritual Calling

Women In Transition Program

Are you a woman at a place in your life where you are ready to pursue your passion and increase your joy? ?

Join me and a small group of women who are ready to step into the next stage of their journey.?

No matter your age, position, or dream, transition is a time of excitement, fear, stepping into the unknown, the resultant confusion, and the need for risk taking.

It is also a time for letting go, dreaming bigger than ever, and realizing that your next step in personal and/or professional growth is at your doorstep.?

In a small group setting you begin to see how “normal” your shifts and fears are and how, energetically, everything in you is already saying it’s time.

Learn more about the program here.

We'd love to have you join us!?

With practical advice, emotional, and spiritual support and a whole new perspective on where your life can go – anything is possible.?

The group meets every other Thursday from 8:00 - 9:30am.

Contact me if you like to know more about the program.

Leadership Self-Assessment Tool

Leadership is not a one size fits all – we are each a unique byproduct of our upbringing, our values, our strengths, and our beliefs.

Know what it is you bring to the table and how to make it even stronger.

What type of leader are you?

In my years working with leaders of all types, I have come to see that there are 5 major styles of leadership – all great yet varied.

As a result, I have created a self-assessment leadership tool to support clients in understanding their style, along with its strengths, limitations, beliefs, and the diseases each is predisposed to.?

The free Self-Assessment Leadership Tool is below. Simply click the button to learn where you fit. It can only make your life easier, and far less stressful.
