Leadership topic - Journey

Imagine you are living the rock star dream. Your first 3 albums go Platinum – something even the Beatles never did. You play one of the most talked about sets at Woodstock, and you are all barely out of your 20’s. And then… the leader, who the band is named after, decides to go into avant grade JAZZ – not even the same branch of music?  What do you do?

Change is exhausting. Continuous Change would then be constant exhaustion. So why would anyone actively choose to engage this as a stance for their life – work or personal? If we have learned something from the last few years, it is that Change is in fact, always happening, and either we get good at it, or we are constantly the victim of it. And it is likely to happen when we least expect, as with the group that I left in the middle of their arc last fall.

… I have always been a glass half full person – and we could go into why that might be, but for now, if you read these and know me, you know that reframing things comes second nature. Phrases like “What could possibly go wrong”, or “It’s All Good” flow out in ways that are rarely helpful 😉 The pain and fear in those I work with is real, and I have at least developed a much deeper understanding of what that looks like, and a few ideas on how to engage with the opposite of fear: Courage, or a corporate word, Confidence.  So go on a Journey of Continuous Change.. and it’s critical companion, Courage.
