#MayDay Alert

How many of you feel you are sinking deeper each week and wonder when will this be over?

As #Lockdown continues, I found three things that have really worked for me.

1 – Morning exercise routine. The first week I felt at sea and my rhythm and routine had been disrupted. So I started an exercise routine each morning, just 30 minutes to get my head right for the day. Then into a shower, breakfast and ready for the day ahead.

2 – Engaged a Coach. I found my head racing with many different thoughts and needed to still my mind. I am now having a one hour Zoom call each week with my coach to refocus, refresh and relax.

3 – Tuning in and feeling grateful. I have been able to spend alot more time with my family. I am learning to listen more to what they are really saying and investing more time to just be, rather than do, do, do. I am tuning into the different birds singing in my back garden, to nature as Spring transitions into Summer.

And when this is all over, I hope to look back and say, I have grown, I have learned and I have listened.

#Mayday is an alert that we need help from others to survive. From experience, we often leave it too late to ask for help. Maybe its a time to tune into yourself and seek what help you need to thrive through #Covid

Podcast – How to Enrich and Future Proof Your Career

Podcast Discussion on Careers and Covid-19

This morning I am sharing a link to the podcast I recorded this week with Jane Barrett from The Career Farm Limited. Jane wanted my insights on how #Covid19 is impacting organisations and people we meet and coach.

In the interview, I shared how much of what I shared in my book ‘Future Proof Your Career’ has accelerated and now more than ever is a time to use the ‘My Career, My Business Model’ and the 9 C’s #skillsforthefuture.

My view is to never waste a crisis. We are in a time of ‘forced innovation’ as we need to let go of many of our routine habitual ways of being and doing.

This crisis has given us license to experiment and try new ways of doing things. It may not always work first time and neither should it.

Jane interviews many other very interesting guests and a podcast I recommend to my clients to stay ahead in your career. The link to the podcast here.
