Notes from the Week(s) - W 38-39

Movement...Flow...Interruption

If there had been a quiz on how many weeks had passed since my last post, I’d have failed. I’d have guessed 1.5 weeks but instead it’s double that. Which just shows me, that time is nonsensical.

The last few weeks have been full…

• Future Leaders Program - This has had ups and downs. I will do it again, but likely in a slightly different format

• Founder Advisory Work - This is one of my favorite things to do. Be in a room with a group of founders and play the role of sounding board, devil’s advocate, and wordsmith! I love these opportunities and am always looking for more.

• Coaching and more coaching - I’ve reached my hours for certification both with Wayfinder and ICF (ACC), but obviously reaching hours does not mean reaching mastery…so I continue to do some pro bono and classmate exchanges as I learn. But this is also a primary source of my income and what is taking my calendar time…and I’m so glad because I love it.

• Left Yabie Board - It was time. They have a lot of good things going on and I think it was a good fit for these past 2 years. I’ve learned to follow my instincts and it was time to give the spot to someone else more suited to the M&A future. I wish them well and am looking for the next board opportunity that is mutual beneficial.

The coming weeks are very exciting as well…

• My favorite oldest nephew and friend is coming to visit me. I feel like I’m going to finally be a real tourist in my own town now that I have someone to show around. I do have to say we are basically eating and pubbing our way through London…so don’t get too wrapped in history!

• My friend Nicole is coming in late October for a few days and I’m definitely looking forward to girl time. :)

• I have a few new clients kicking off their work with me…and I’m hoping some folks get excited about doing this (see below)

  

  
  Instead of making resolutions that don’t mean much behind the 2nd week of January…why not work together to really put some ideas in place and start to figure out the baby steps that can build the momentum?? I’m here for that for myself and for anyone else who wants to partner on this!
  
  Building my own business is fun, exciting, nerve-wracking, and scary. It is an adventure in getting to know myself and understanding my own fears. I have to remind myself to live from abundance and not scarcity and to trust that saying no to things opens the space for new options.

  
  For those of you who have gone out on your own…what have you learned about yourself? What do you wish you’d known before you’d done it? And what are you so grateful for?
  

  I’ll try to write again soon…like this weekend!
