Inspired by nature!

The trees behind me (curtesy of my current stunning central Otago location) are shedding their leaves and consolidating - ready to rest over winter. In spring they will come back to life with beautiful blossoms, then work hard all summer growing and producing fruit, then rest again. The trees work in clear cycles.

Observing nature teaches us that building rest into our routine is critical – rest and regeneration time is just as important as peak production time. Yet, I have many clients who struggle to step out of BAU, back-to-back meetings, and their “full on” daily grind, and feel guilty when they do.

If you or your team would benefit from clear and acceptable cycles of work, and rest and regeneration, please get in touch. Let's work it through.

Happy place

I love mountains and cold weather - definitely a winter person. In my happy place this week recharging and replenishing (Mount Cook is there in the background, hiding behind the clouds today...) We can't be the best version of ourselves and support others unless self-care is a priority.

Where is your happy place? How do you recharge? How do you take care of yourself?

If you would like to build more self-care in your and your team's routine please get in touch. Happy place = self-care = wellbeing!

What legacy will you leave?

I spent the perfect day off the coast of Auckland yesterday with the people closest to me (even though one was in ash form and thrown off the boat). A time to step out of daily routine and take stock. A chance to reflect on life, how we choose to live it, and who we chose to be.

What legacy do you want to leave? Who do you want to be? What is your purpose? Question’s coaches often ask individual client’s and teams. But you don’t need a coach to instigate powerful reflection – take time out every now and then and ask these questions of yourself(s).
