Ever feel hijacked by your reaction to a client event?

Ever feel hijacked by your reaction to a client event?

You get asked an awkward question - answer it badly.
Then you replay that in your head for hours.
Punishing yourself multiple times.

We spend so much time stuck in thoughts we didn’t choose.

I used to think “professional” meant bottling feelings up.



But then I heard something that changed that completely.

Acknowledgment isn’t weakness.
It’s awareness.

Noticing anger, stress, embarrassment.
Noticing the way I'd spiral into a doom loop.
Noticing - without any kind of judgment or need to fix.

That’s the shift I needed.

From reaction to reflection.
From stuck to space to think.
From auto-pilot to event transformation.

Just try it next time you find yourself in a doom loop.
Acknowledge and name the feeling instead of fighting it.

What's really going on

“ … all of us hold on tightly to many things we don’t really have.” This line from Patrick Rhone’s book - This Could Help - got me thinking about our attitudes toward pipelines, relationships, and services.

Think Different

I love it when there's a seemingly Unreasonable Agenda. The Apple Think Different campaign epitomised this. Just look at the change makers: Albert Einstein: Questioned absolute space-time. Bob Dylan: Reimagined song meanings poetically. Martin Luther King Jr.: Envisioned equality beyond segregation. Richard Branson: Ignored business conventions fearlessly.
