It’s Time for the Big Reset: Ready to Move Forward? I am…

The past 18 months have been a blur.

While writing my latest book,?Can We Talk? Seven Principles for Managing Difficult Conversations at Work, I was also helping clients work through challenges no one had ever faced before. At the same time, I provided emotional support to our kids, who were now locked in their rooms while attending college remotely.

There wasn’t a second in my day where I could think about my needs. I felt like my life was on hold, as I just tried to make it through each day.

No doubt my story feels familiar to many of you.

It wasn’t until I decided it was time to move forward that I could get a part of me back.

Travel fuels my soul. (For you, it may be something different.) I knew that I had to get back out in the world; if I were to regain my sanity, I booked a trip to Croatia and Italy with my family, and boy, I’m glad I did.

There were lots of hoops that I had to go through to make this trip possible.

I’m not going to lie to you. There were a few moments when I thought, “What was I thinking?” However, we had a fantastic time and were all able to do a major reset in the end.

I’m back now and no longer feel like I’m merely going through the motions to get through another day.

What have you been putting on hold over the past 18 months?

Have you been dreaming about a career change?

Have you been afraid to make a move, given the need for security during the pandemic?

Were you promoted during the pandemic, and you’re now coming up for air, only to realize you could use a sounding board? Someone to help guide you as you re-establish your footing.

Or perhaps you’re a business owner who has been caught off guard with an increase in orders and no one to fill them. You’re feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward.

Hitting the Reset Button

If you’re ready to move forward, follow me. It’s time to do a major reset.

Here are some questions to help you get started.

• What hopes and dreams have I put on hold since the pandemic began?
• What one step can I take to move forward?
• Do I need help moving forward, or can I do this myself? (Note: If you’ve been trying unsuccessfully to move forward for several months, then help is most definitely needed.)
• Do I want my old life back, or am I ready for something new?
• Is there anything I need to stop or start doing right away?
• If not now, when?

Since hitting the reset button, I feel like a new person and am already planning my next trip abroad. My brain is back in creative mode, and I’m looking at my business with a fresh eye. I’m a better coach and advisor to my clients.
