Taking the Lead in Uncertain Times
Over the course of my career, I’ve found myself in a series of roles from salesperson to manager, from Head of PR & Marketing to Creative Director. Now as a Certified Leadership and Business Coach, I help my clients work through stress and increase their levels of clarity and focus. We work together to build a foundation from which to make better and more effective decisions as well as get more done with less effort.
I work with clients all over the country, from Los Angeles and San Francisco to Charlotte, NC and Jacksonville, FL, and each of my clients is responding to this time of uncertainty differently. Some are feeling overwhelmed, worried about how they are going to keep their businesses afloat as they remotely manage their teams and their projects, while also entertaining their children.
Others are taking advantage of the slowdown to hone in on their messaging, social media strategy, and finally work on redoing their websites - all tasks that they never seemed to have the time for before.
Others still, are feeling more in control than they normally do, their days no longer run by an onslaught of emails and a phone that never stops ringing. This quiet time is giving some the opportunity to tap into their intuition to conceive design solutions that create an ease of living that has not been quite possible to tap into before.
Whatever reaction you find yourself in, it’s understandable as we are all in a position that we’ve never found ourselves in before. So many of us, myself included, are looking for ways to communicate offers to help others in meaningful ways. Leaning into being of service is how I’m taking the lead in this time of uncertainty. It’s the one thing that is keeping me grounded and sane.
To all of you who are experiencing feelings of fear and concern, watching sales screech to a halt, having your hours reduced, or being laid off, I want to say one thing:
“We are all in this together.”
Tip on how to handle the feeling of fear overwhelm when it arises:
One way to shift our attention from fear to the present moment is to use the power of listening.
Take one minute to close your eyes and just breathe.
Now tune into the sounds around you, the birds chirping, the construction on the street outside your window, the sound of your kids playing in the next room. Just focus on what you hear. Tuning into the sounds of the present moment brings us into the now where fear cannot exist. Fear lives in the future and the future is not true because it has not happened yet.
So anytime you start to feel the feelings of overwhelm, fear, anxiety or stress, close your eyes, breathe, and listen.
Understanding that now more than ever, you are concerned and want to be careful about the money you spend, I would like to offer a free first time coaching session to anyone who feels like they could use additional support, or wants to take advantage of this downtime to hone in on their messaging and marketing strategy.
In addition I am cutting my fees in half, because I want to help more people not less during this time of need.
