Sometimes I'm afraid of the vastness of reflection time. I'm afraid I'll dream too big or that I'll equally sit in a self-doubt stew. I'm also afraid that reflection time isn't productive enough. That my thoughts don't equal a tick on my to-do list.
Cleaning my bathroom, fewer emails in my inbox, or throwing away expired jars of who-knows-what from the fridge can seem more important than reflection time.
But, alas, it's the clarity I get from reflection time that makes it worth it.
It's where I find direction and sometimes even find peace.
What about you, what stops you from reflection time?

I feel like I don't have anything witty or life-changing to say or post today, but the thought that keeps ringing through my head is...
Enjoy your life.
Here's why...
A couple of weeks ago, I met some strangers, a retired couple in their 70s, on a walking tour of SoHo. It was my birthday, and I invited them (on a whim!) to have lunch with my husband and me. When we parted after a really chatty, slow lunch, the woman, Ellen, looked at me and said, "Enjoy your life."
I think that's what it's all about.
Enjoying your life.
The recipe is different for all of us.
I hope you find the right ingredients for yours.

Nothing magical happens overnight.
You can forget the effort you did put in.
You can overlook the minuscule progress that is happening.
Remember, slow progress is progress.

Maybe if we stop telling ourselves we can do it all, then we will stop feeling like we SHOULD do it all.

What makes you feel like you?
I talk a lot about the Performance side of coaching:
✔Self-doubt
✔Confidence
✔Setting goals
✔Self-sabotage
✔Stepping up in leadership
BUT...
None of that matters without the north star of Fulfillment.
Fulfillment is what makes life feel like yours.
If you've gone through a transition in the last few years (kids, job, promotion, house move) you'll have wanted to win people over and to show up as your best, BUT you'll have lost yourself a long the way.
Fulfillment is the key ingredient to feeling like you again.
It's what makes Potential and Ambition YOURS. (Not what your neighbour/manager/parents want for you)
It's how NOT to care about other people's priorities or opinions because you are steadfast in yours.
Fulfillment for me is taking care of my body. It's non-negotiable. It takes serious injury to keep me away.
What's non-negotiable for you and your Fulfillment? Let me know below ⬇️

Just wrapped the final group coaching session for the first cohort of Rise to Potential, my 12-week leadership training and group coaching program.
Here are my big takeaways:
1. Change takes time and it can also happen in an instant. The big thing is being open to change in all the ways it happens.
2. Group coaching is powerful. The insights from other people can help you see blind spots and not feel so alone.
3. Self-sabotaging behaviours are so sneaky. The shoulds/what ifs/have to do behaviours need space for reflection.
4. We all have self-doubt, it's our reaction to self-doubt that matters.
4. A single event can rattle confidence. Ideas from our 20s and growing up shape us BUT we can create a life that is fulfilling for who we are TODAY. Create some new rules!
The April cohort of Rise to Potential is off to a great start. The next cohort you can join will be announced soon.
Let me know your questions about Rise to Potential.

The London marathon was the celebration, not the accomplishment.
Here are a few pictures on my way to finding myself again.
I've been lost. I have felt NOT like myself. I've had big self-doubt.
Yet, I got help. I set goals. I found a way to make myself a priority (Protected Time on steriods).
What's waiting inside of you?

What's the difference between sitting on the sidelines of your life and fulfillment?
Your self-belief.
Better yet, it's your ability to overcome your self-doubt and imposter syndrome.
You CAN do something for your fulfillment. You CAN become the leader you know is hiding inside.
You MUST join Rise to Potential, a 12-week leadership training and group coaching program where you will learn to tame your self-doubt and imposter syndrome.
Registration is currently open and closes Friday 21 April.
You're worth it.
