As we continue to settle in and back to routine and structure, most professionals (with children) are allowing themselves six weeks. Mid-October gives a glimpse of light that all is being settled back into for work/life/school.
I never dreamed that my Women’s Self-Care Conference, which I created in 2018 and took across Canada in 2019, would cultivate the discussion of mental resilience.
Forgiveness and self-care tools were topics of discussion at the conference and were familiar modalities in each of the provinces, which I found fascinating.
Since 2020, we have been severely challenged globally. We’ve endured so many different things faster than the speed of light.
While we have all lived through fear and uncertainty, we have found comfort and solace in acts of kindness.
Heart-Centered Leadership took the forefront, which was long overdue.
We have redefined mental well-being. We (the global community) have coped well with whatever life has thrown at us, and the outcome has been an appreciation of who we are and our own potential.
Sometimes we have to think and look outside the box. The answer is not always found in a book.
Resilience has been and is an important concept, and I have seen this first-hand with executive teams, VPs, and C-Suites.
Embracing the vision, calibrating a new vision, and, most importantly, being there for their teams during a vital crisis.
One VP mentioned to me last week that “Four in five Canadians said the pandemic offered an opportunity to reconsider their life priorities.”
Because of this level of introspection, I have helped 70 executives move since the start of the global crisis.
I recently spoke at a large financial institution. Within two hours of my presentation, a female executive chose to resign. She conveyed that she needed to hear my message and reassess her life. Working 80+ hours a week was not what she wanted. She also shared that the pressure was “too much”.
People over profit.
What’s sitting in your heart? 💜
