Are you missing out on family life because your projects are eating up all of your time?

... and yet you still feel like you are treading water and not completing any of them? Do you find yourself awake at night wondering how to get your projects or initiatives implemented? Have you been dreading going to work in the mornings wondering how many uncomfortable conflicts and conversations you need to have today?

You might have the best of intentions of getting organised and yet, the moment you get to work it all goes to pots because of another crisis emerging that needs your attention. 

Is it another conversation with the board or your sponsor telling them that something might not be delivered on time that is fuel for your fear of failure about it ruining your career? How familiar does this sound?

How to transform yourself

The results we have now in our live and career are the consequence of our habits.

Most of us want to reach our full potential, which means at some stage there are some things that you will want to change from what you are doing now. These things are highly likely to be habitual things. Things you have practised so well that you might not even notice them anymore.

Here are 3 simple steps you might find useful in helping you achieve this transformation:

1. Self-awareness – identify what you do and think automatically when you want to avoid the pain of what you don’t want to do.  You are becoming aware of your behaviours and the connected thinking.
2. Understanding the impact of this behaviour and deciding what we might want to change and for what purpose.
3. Create a new way of thinking and practise the behaviour that goes with it as often as you can in your day to day.  Align it as appropriate along the way.

Each of these steps are explored further below.

Break Down - as a chance

How often in your life have you asked yourself the following questions:

• Is this the right job for me?
• Why am I saying "YES" when I really want to say no?
• What can I do to rescue this relationship?
• How much longer am I going to cope with this stress? 

... and how often did you decide to compromise to the beefit of harmony or out of feelings of responsibility or guilt? I imagine this might have caused some paradimes. What did you choose to go with in the end?     

The ambiguity of the seasons

How are you fairing with the insecurities of our times? The media is full with news about the breakdown of financial markets, relationship dramas, break down of political frames like the EU – even tornados turn up in unusual places!!

In times like this we often tend to forget that change and ambiguity always have been part of our existence, a simple example of this are the four seasons in nature. Some years ago I created a growth cycle that talks to this ambiguity based on the four seasons.
