How aligned are your planets?

This is the view from my coach the last few evenings. (My balcony actually – I did have to stand up!) I can’t say I’m particularly into astronomy, but the current planet line-up is intriguing. 

What I am into is the universe telling us things – or giving us signs. The trick is having enough space to see or notice.

Are you and your team seeing or noticing what’s around you? How aligned are your planets?  Sometimes making space to see what around you means breaking ingrained habits of rush-rush-rush, deliver-deliver-deliver and short-term focus. Breaking habits like these is hard.

If you, or your team, would benefit from space, please get in touch www.growtobe.co.nz.

Perhaps this is a sign from the universe?

Power of the opposite perspective!

A few days ago, I was standing on a mountain (volcano actually) looking at another 150km away. I remembered I did the exact opposite a few years ago. 

Have you ever looked at something from the opposite perspective intentionally? Sometimes I do that – in a discussion I take a different view from others (not necessarily my personal view) just to see what happens. Taking different perspectives (in a non- confrontational way) is powerful. It creates new ideas, generates options and highlight risks. Try it! Again, emphasis on the non-confrontational approach.

If you or your team would like to give it a try, please get in touch. I’d got several tools in my toolbox we could try out.

Coaches are human too!

I’ve had a great summer break over the last few weeks – lots of fun exploring NZ and good quality time with friends and family. My favourite picture below taken on the Coastal Walkway, New Plymouth. Can you guess which of these contemplating ladies is me?

Just as plumbers taps leak sometimes, and doctors get sick, I’m back at my desk this week - struggling  with motivation, despite deadlines looming. Afterall I am human!

Hope we all find the motivation we need to fix our leaking pipes, take our vitamins and focus on what we need to in 2025.

Please get in touch if you’d like to talk about your and your team’s motivation for 2025. I’d love to have a chat 😊.
