Truths to Help You Focus In Possibility During Times of Change

I’ve been doing a lot of ZOOM-ing!

These conversations are some of the best parts of my day – individual and group video calls where I am literally sitting on the edge of my desk chair leaning in as clients are breaking through past beliefs of what is and is not possible and “all of a sudden” are finding their voice and new-found courage to leap into a Next Chapter of some kind (creating more authentic and vulnerable ways to lead in their current role, applying for jobs, starting a new business, updating their website, or reframing what successful and productive mean).

The volume of these conversations has led to a lot of thinking and writing for my next collaborative book project and upcoming blogs. Today I share the following truths to help you focus in possibility – and offset any thoughts of what’s not possible right now. As always, my intention is to help – use what resonates and disregard the rest! If you’d like to go deeper into these topics, please check out my BLOG Archives – many have prompts and exercises that can help. 

To borrow Oprah’s line: “here’s what I know for sure:”

• Making a morning list of what I’m grateful for not only feels good but creates its own clarity and momentum.  It builds upon itself. My list gets longer.
• “Our Intention Creates Our Reality” – Dr. Wayne Dyer.  Setting an intention for BEing and helping others and then observing the results, shifts our awareness of our own value and impact, and is the most powerful tool I use. During times of uncertainty this benefit is amplified.
• The smallest of gestures, done with the intention to benefit someone else, can have profound impact.
• While planning what to “do next” in our careers can seem counter-intuitive during a time of transition and change – it is THE time of opportunity for making a leap… IF (and it’s a BIG if) we have the foundational (and often missing) self-awareness that is needed.
• When we see possibility – regardless of how big or small, we have a responsibility to share our voice of possibility so that others may benefit. (Shining a light on others’ voices of possibility is important, too!). Here’s a link to a LinkedIn post to share YOUR examples of people leading in possibility – remember to tag!
• We can be professional and help “move the needle” without makeup, and with a puppy in your lap.
• Journaling, talking to friends and colleagues, doing a vision board or sheltering in place does not necessarily guarantee this time of self-reflection will create a miraculous “ah-ha” moment about our purposer or right path forward. A guided process can.  
• Everything we need is in the present moment.
• Technology can help us create deep connection.
• Now more than ever, one person, one voice can and is making a difference. 

Is this resonating with you? Please let me know how you are doing, and how you’re navigating this time of change. I love hearing from you!
