How would you react if everything you had and knew disappeared overnight?
The grief curve is playing out as stories unfold of those directly impacted by recent weather events here in Aotearoa New Zealand. In time shock, disbelief, tears, blame and anger will be replaced with acceptance, renewal and resilience. ♥
Without casting too much doom and gloom on the situation (I hope) it is a good reminder for all of us to build our resilience - so it's accessible to us when we need it.
Everyone has something going on, and sometimes that stuff can feel overwhelming. More than that ever before family, friends and clients are telling me about challenges with relationships, finances, work, grief, getting older, self-esteem, or feeling lost. And COVID hangovers and crazy weather doesn’t help. I may hear a disproportionate amount being in a helping profession – but it’s out there!
If you are feeling a bit blue – please talk to someone.
And if you sense that’s someone in your network isn’t quite right - give them a call and ask. Let's look after each other.
Just when we though the worst of COVID was over and things were a little more normal (albeit with high inflation) mother nature throws us more curve balls here in NZ... Volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity are life.
Leaders and teams need to anticipate that plans will not proceed as expected and plan for that! The following will help navigate a VUCA world:
· clear purpose
· collaboration
· continual learning
· agility
· resilience
… and leadership and team coaching can help develop these characteristics.
