E25: Connection

This week, we're looking at the theme of "Connection" and how important it is to maintain a connection with others and yourself, even when your career revolves around being responsible for others.

In today's fast-paced world, it is often easy to prioritise the development of your team over your own, at the sacrifice of your own progression and wellbeing.

However, fostering genuine connections with oneself and others is essential for sustainable leadership and career advancement - in this newsletter we'll cover how you can get started.

Self Inquiry

Reflect on your connection with yourself. Are you prioritising self-care and introspection amidst your busy schedule? Take time to assess your emotional well-being and identify areas where you can nurture a deeper connection with yourself.

Remember, self-awareness lays the foundation for authentic connections with others.

If you're looking for a new way to spend some time connecting with yourself, we're excited to introduce our brand new course 'Discover What Life Is Calling You To Do' on Plentiful!

This course is a great way to engage in a process of self-inquiry to uncover life’s clues, recognise your unique gifts, and discover what makes your path unique.

Self Care

Amidst the demands of leadership, it's crucial to prioritise moments of connection with others outside of simply discussing your work.

Whether it's scheduling regular coffee chats with colleagues or joining networking events, carve out time to engage in meaningful conversations and foster professional relationships. Remember, investing in your network is an investment in your career growth.

Self Promotion

Reach out to your network this week to reconnect with at least 5 people that you've not been in touch with for a while and try to find some time to connect with them and catch up with what they've been up to, you never know what might come from it.

As you navigate your career on a day to day basis and in the long run, remember the power of connection in nurturing both personal well-being and professional success.

By prioritising investment in meaningful relationships, you'll not only thrive as a leader but also inspire others to do the same.

Here's to cultivating connections that enrich our lives and propel us towards greater heights.
