An Invitation to Create

  • MENTAL FITNESS, MINDFULNESS, REFLECTION, TAKE ACTION

The responses I receive are as diverse as the individuals I speak with. For some, it’s about charting the next phase of their careers, mapping out a trajectory that aligns with their passion and skills. Others describe in vivid detail their visions for achieving a harmonious balance between work and personal life. Exploring not only what it would look and feel like but also diving into explaining why achieving this balance is so important to them.For many, this question sparks reflections on legacy — the impact they wish to leave behind, the lives they aim to touch, and the positive changes they desire to create in their communities or industries. And then there are those who dream of experiences — immersive travels, learning new skills, or simply creating cherished memories with loved ones.

If your goal is growth, there are many shiny objects out there competing for resources and your attention. As a leader, you will need to prioritize the things that will actually move the needle in the right direction. After a tumultuous few years, we’ve all had to look at priorities a little differently. Last year my goals for 2022 were to get out of the house, travel more, capture images with my camera, and sit in Madison Square Garden again to watch and listen to Billy Joel.

Permission Slip

When I was in elementary school, there was no more exciting of a day than when I brought home a permission slip for a field trip for my mom or dad to sign.It meant time away from the classroom and the opportunity to visit the Bronx Zoo, Mystic Seaport, Sturbridge Village, The Statue of Liberty, The Museum of Natural History, or the planetarium at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center.When I think about it now, these signatures on a slip of paper represented the opportunity to pause from day-to-day, take a break, explore, and learn something new—permission to unlock my growth mindset and explore my curiosity.As I thought more about it, I introduced the idea of permission slips into discussions with my clients.
