Burrowing Into Life

Getting down to the nitty-gritty can bring awesomeness. Even if you’re not small enough to get lost in an artichoke flower. By the way, I’m totally into artichoke flowers.

In what areas of life have you been putting off work that’s really important, that might yield really big results, but that might not initially seem like the most fun?

What are a few initial steps you can take to delve into it? How can you make it playful, like a bee buzzing from one part of a flower to another?

 

Seeking Beauty Through the Contrasts of Life Transitions

The topics my clients bring to coaching sessions often relate to life transitions–shifts in job, geography, relationship, student/employee status, age, births or deaths in family, kids moving away, and so on. Our new reality can help us to more deeply appreciate what we’ve already experienced, and vice-versa.

Cooperation

In a world that often overemphasizes independence and individual success, it’s important to remember how interdependent we also are. This applies whether you are a team leader, a team member, or even someone who often works independently.

I sometimes work with coaching clients around building support networks. This assists them in achieving what’s important to them.

In what areas of your life are you already good at cooperating–relying upon others while also allowing them to rely upon you?

In what areas of your life would you like to improve one or both of these aspects of cooperation?

Determine one or two small steps you can take over the next week to gently stretch your boundaries in this area.
