Bring Clarity to your Future - Focus on your Passions Are you recently retired or contemplating retirement? Are you retired and restless? Are you trying to avoid retirement?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, there is a good chance that you are experiencing some angst. Welcome to being normal. Our brains are wired to experience concern when facing uncertainty. Feeling a sense of angst for an extended period of time, however, can be harmful to your brain and your body. The antidote for angst is knowledge – the kind of knowledge that can give you clarity about how to approach the next chapter of your life. How can you gain clarity? Try these three tips. 1.    See your journey into uncertainty as an adventure. It presents you with an opportunity to envision a future that is not an extension of your past. It can be a time for re-invention, exploration, curiosity. 2.    Spend some time reflecting on your passions that you have put aside for one reason or another because life got in the way. Create a journal to capture your thoughts in writing. Nothing elaborate is required. Simple bullet points are fine. For example, your list might say: a.     Photography. I’ve always loved it. Never took time to pursue it. b.    I love dogs, have since I was a kid. I’ve thought about breeding and showing dogs – never had the time. c.     Reading. I’ve always been an avid reader. Ten years ago I stopped. Don’t know why. Seemed like I didn’t have time. Too much other stuff going on in my life. 3.    Envision making them part of your future, either as full-time endeavors, or part-time activities. Relax and allow your imagination to run wild. Don’t edit your thoughts, judge your thoughts, or worry about what others might think. This exercise is for you alone. Go to your journal. Write down your ideas and thoughts. You need not share them with anyone – until you’re ready. Here is one example: a.     I’ve always liked to photograph animals – in the wild and people’s pets. I could invest in some high-quality cameras, lenses, etc., start photographing, create a blog site and start showing my work to people. Maybe advertise as a pet photographer and earn a few bucks to start. I could see where that goes, then maybe do some reading and research, find the breed of dog that I would want to breed and show and see where that takes me. Yeah. I have the time now. Start today. Create a journal and write down your thoughts and ideas. Doing that will accomplish these things: ·      It will help you remember them as you move forward.  ·      It will replace your angst with focused clarity. ·      It will help you develop your plan for a rewarding next chapter. Which passion will you pursue first?

One of the top 5 reasons people give for avoiding speaking is "My speaking abilities aren't good enough". Hint: They never will be unless you just do it! 😁 You can read every TED Talk book ever written, but none of them will ever substitute for getting up in front of an audience and learning to work through your fear. Start small with a group you trust and challenge yourself from there.  I guarantee you will get better every time. #publicspeaking #claimyourconfidence #speaking #skilledspeaker #feelthefear

The Calgary Stampede connects to Mind Health and The Science of Happiness and here's why..... As people gather for ten days of unity and celebration, a vibrant energy shines bright. These days are more than just an event; they are a testament to the power of community, connection and shared joy. In these moments, we see firsthand how the energy of togetherness can elevate our spirits and strengthen our bonds. This collective experience is not only a reflection on Calgary's spirit but also a powerful reminder of the profound impact that positive social interactions have on our Mind Health and overall happiness. What if we could harness this energy and integrate it into corporate culture? When we come together, we create a ripple effect of positivity and support that resonates throughout our lives. Imagine the impact if we brought this same spirit into our workplaces. By fostering a culture of unity, collaboration, and shared purpose, we can create environments where employees feel connected, valued and inspired. Ways in which this spirit could integrate into corporate culture are: Encourage Team Collaboration Celebrate Achievements Together Prioritize Mind Health and Well-being Build a Supportive Environment Create Shared Experiences As we head into the final weekend of the Stampede - I am reflecting on the incredible power of coming together and the value of belonging. I am wishing all my YYC LinkedIn connections a safe and fun weekend and for those outside of YYC, if you have never been to the Stampede - I highly recommend coming sometime. If you are like most visitors, you will want to move to Calgary. #YEEHAW #Calgarystampede #calgary #corporateculture #workplacewellbeing #mindhealth #happiness

Performance optimization: To identify personal and professional improvement areas, set goals, and develop strategies to achieve peak performance. 3. Strategic thinking and decision-making: To gain an outside perspective on complex business challenges and refine their strategic planning and critical decision-making approach.

Have you listened to episode 141 with Angie Alexander, P.Eng ? Angie shares what has contributed to her success as a coach: 1. Innate curiosity about people. 2. Effective communication skills. 3. Humility and willingness to learn. She believes that coaching should not be seen as a remedy solely for underperformers or just for top executives. Angie sees her role as helping people understand that anyone can benefit from coaching. Her engineering background gives her credibility, especially when discussing complex concepts like rewiring neural pathways, which helps in establishing initial trust with clients. #podcast #coaching #mindset

✨ What do you do to “finish strong” with your clients? Many of my coaching clients and programs pause or end at this time of year, so I’ve been reflecting on what “finishing strong” looks like. Endings, even just chapters in the broader journey, deserve to be marked. 📋 This week, I wrapped up with a 1:1 coaching client. As always, I sent a reflection form before our meeting with questions like: How have you grown since we began? How do you feel your growth has benefited you? Which goals or topics were most useful for your development? What do you want to continue working on? 🌟 My client came prepared and eager to share their reflections, plans, and hopes for ongoing growth. It was such a joy to participate and witness this strong finish. 👥 Tomorrow, I'll be helping a team finish strong. With more participants come more layers and complexities, but meaningful closure is equally important. We'll celebrate, consolidate learnings, and challenge ourselves to identify the practices that will sustain and continue building the skills we’ve developed. 🎥 Nick Vujicic's powerful message on finishing strong is a favourite of mine, and I sometimes share his video with my clients. It's a reminder that the quality of the message trumps the quality of the picture: https://lnkd.in/gk7VWZEi 💡 What strategies do you use to finish strong, personally or with clients? I’d love to hear your insights!

Myth: Entrepreneurs can't afford downtime. Truth: Even the busiest entrepreneurs need to disconnect. Growing up, I watched my entrepreneur dad dedicate time to relax and recharge. Whether it was family time that visibly cheered him up or his regular Wednesday golf sessions, he knew the value of stepping away. In our world of constant connectivity, it's easy to confuse taking a break as a luxury. It's not a luxury. It's essential to our success. If you're looking for guilt-free time off, watch this video.

How often do you feel completely out of your element? This past weekend I tried my hand at golf and got some unexpected reminders for leadership coaching along the way. 3 lessons from the green! 1. Cultivate a relaxed mindset so that you can learn something new. At first, I gripped the club and swung madly, my body tight. The instructor was telling me the task was simple, but nothing seemed further from the truth! As the hour wore on, though, I got used to the practice--and the vulnerability--and relaxed a little. It was only then that things started to feel simpler. 2. Sometimes less is more. Apparently, a golf swing doesn’t have to be forceful. Accurate and calm, yes, but not forceful. All that energy I was using at first just made for awkward swings and a ball that went nowhere. But, as I focused more on technique and less on strength, my swing became smoother and the ball went further. This is such a life lesson and has me questioning: When else do I apply too much effort? Are there relationships, tasks, or activities that I try to force? 3. Being a learner is humbling. Most of my family are golfers. They make it look so simple. As I took this first lesson, I was shocked by how complex it seemed to be--and we didn’t even get past trying to hit a flag on the driving range! It’s hard to repeat something that is apparently “simple” over and over in front of someone, especially a pro. It reminded me that this is the experience for our clients, especially those who are new to coaching. And that however self-aware we may be, the vulnerability required to learn new things is more intense than you can remember from a place of comfort. How do you, as a leader or coach, remember how to stay a learner? What keeps you humble and even vulnerable in this work?
