Stepped away from career for daughter
Created a sabbatical style career break
Needed to take time away from work to support daughter but also be in restoration to renew and figure out what to do next.
The more other people saw I was stepping away it created an interest.
Personal innovation strategy: I’m going to change what I’m doing and I’m going to take some time off to do it.
Walking away from career was so scary, but I didn’t have a lot of emotion as I was doing it because I was doing it for the right reasons.
Who am I outside of work? What were the aspects of my work that I wanted to do all the time, but were limited?
Personal innovation strategy had intentions for the rest of the year and learning I wanted to acquire.
The intersection between leadership, life and work.
Leadership and work are part of our life.
Faith and entrepreneurship
Thinking about what I have control of “my locus of control” and doing that, and knowing that there is something bigger happening here. The rest will work itself out in my favor.
Control what you can control. Faith without work. There is always a little bit of work in there. You have to put a little bit of skin in the game.
Just start with where you are, what you have and what you know. Let it build from there.
Leaders hold people able
Supporting leaders to know that they are whole and complete they have everything in themselves they need to be successful
You don’t have to save people. You don’t have to help people. They don’t need saving because they are capable of untangling, they just need someone to walk alongside of them.
Coherence
Alignment is one aspect, awakening is another
Our lives are not just work.
There needs to be coherence between our relationships, our lives and our bodies. We need all of it to be our best selves and be fulfilled.
Uncoupling of external and internal expectations.
You’re not lost, you’re out of alignment with what you want to do with your life, because you’ve been following other people’s path for you.
Activating my own agency
Our lives are not just work. There needs to be coherence
There’s no one way to do it.
Stay open to the possibilities
