Permission to Simply Be

Hello All,
I shared this with Jackie relative to her own forthcoming milestone and even this recent achievement of building our team and strenghtening the coaching culture in the firm - what an accomplishment!!! She suggested I post for all so here it is. It is a helpful reminder for us and for our clients - once the NPs achieve the career and life milsetone of Partnership there may be a period of feeling down or lost. I've described it in the past as a mourning period - the loss of 'striving' for a major goal. Some people miss that and feel a bit empty as a result. So while an accomplishment feels great then what does one's mind do next? This encourages reflection and acceptance of a quiet mind.

  1. Thanks for sharing. I am reminded that much of our work is focused on helping them "just be" and to think about who they want to "be".

  2. Very good reminder -- thanks for sharing. I was reminded of a conversation that I had with Director in IT a while back. Their words were "I worked hard and got the Brass Ring. Now I'm wondering is that it -- is that all there is?" This is very helpful for those types of conversations.
