Stuck in the construct of an industry

Beliefs are so engrained sometimes they can be quite shocking. We may not even see them as beliefs anymore, but rather, undisputed truth.

If you’ve been leading for some time, you will know the feeling of disillusionment. A feeling of disappointment that things are not as good as you believed them to be. It will be temporary but frustrating while you’re in it.

Emotions and business have been kept separate for many many years. Traditionally, business leaders have been taught that emotions are for outside of the office walls and when we enter into the workplace they are to be tucked away and dealt with when the employee returns home.

It’s brought to my attention regularly at the moment, both through my own experiences and through those of my clients, that we commonly struggle to create real change in our lives.

At the start of a new year I ask clients to review what their learnings were from the last year and make commitments to what they will do differently this year.

Much of the learning that takes place in our lives we don’t even think about.
