In these challenging moments, everyone needs a coach to buck them up and inspire them to do more and be more. We often feel let down when we watch the news and everything appears hopeless. However, like most events unfolding in front of our eyes, it is a question of “the glass is half full, the glass is half empty”. Which half of the glass holds your attention?
The time has come to instill in ourselves the habit of happiness in our consciousness. The masters are always there. They share their pointers of a path less traveled with pearls of wisdom. What they cannot do is to walk this path for us. For that, we must walk the path for ourselves. The good news is that we are never alone.
The most valuable skills you need to learn are the importance of creativity, visualisation, and meditation.? We learn mental clarity and how to restore our mind and body harmony. At the same time, it is poignant to unlearn what we should never have learned in the first place.?
Here are 5 pointers to successfully put you on track:
1. Forget the 9-5 grind. Jobs do have hours, but not like before. With remote work, we can better define how much time to put in. Results and success aren't about hours logged in.? What matters is the impact you create.? ?
2. Job security is an illusion.? The new safety net is having the resilience to enhance your skill sets.?Do you need additional training? Should you do an MBA or EMBA to boost your career? We say that you do. Examine your peers and leaders you admire. What have they done and how did they succeed?

3. Perfection is an illusion. Perfection does exist, but not the way you think it does. Do the best you can. Everyone learns from their mistakes. Do what you have to do. Then let go of any possession of your actions. “He who sees action in inaction and inaction in action is wise among men”. Those are the words spoken by Lord Krishna to Arjuna. Wise words indeed to live by.
4. Network success.? ? Collaboration beats competition hands down. Nobody works in a vacuum. We are all dependent on each other. Never be afraid to be thankful to those you work with for a job well done. Thankfulness and grace are the twin pillars of networking success.
5. Love life. Life is everything. It is a successful career, but it is also living your dreams, and enjoying your family and friends. Should you shovel everything aside and let your job take priority over everything else, you will live an unhealthy timeline that is always self-destructive. Better to learn this lesson sooner than later. You can do this. Europeans as a rule, understand this. La dolce vita was not created in nothingness. It is valued to give you the joy you deserve.
Now, part of my role as a coach is to give you these tools so you can help yourself. I, therefore, invite you to follow Whitefield Consulting online and profit from our collective wisdom. Best of all, it is free. All you need is an open mind.
