Watch out world, the best of you is yet to come!

I've been wearing a lot of sequins recently.

I think it is my age and I'm OK with that.

I feel I'm getting braver in the 'right' places as I get older.

And while I do think sequins are?very?important, I'm not just talking about sequins.

Below is one of my favourite poems by?Jenny Joseph.

I am still discovering where my future power lies and it's exciting.

I'd love to hear whether you too see your future self as an enabled version of this version and what you are becoming braver with.

Please reply and tell me....I really do want to hear how you feel the best of you is yet to come!

(I'm also very open to hearing about sequins).

Warning

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple

With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.

And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves

And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired

And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells

And run my stick along the public railings

And make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain

And pick flowers in other people’s gardens

And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat

And eat three pounds of sausages at a go

Or only bread and pickle for a week

And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry

And pay our rent and not swear in the street

And set a good example for the children.

We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practise a little now?

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Jenny Joseph

I love spending time with people in senior roles who are prepared to do the work necessary to step out of habits and into their truly most powerful selves. Taking bookings now for you or your colleagues for 2023. If you want coaching that goes 'a little deeper', please let Ellen know and we can talk about whether it would be suitable?[email protected].
