need clarity? try this simple daily habit

Hi Reader, I’m packing my bags for 2 weeks in Denmark. Perhaps you are packing bags too, or rumbling with the kids already on school holidays. So I’m going to keep it short – and dropping in a leadership tip this week. Block out 30 minutes for reflection at the end of each day. If like me, you spend a day in meetings and a whirlwind of decision making, you need time to digest the day. Reflection time is that integration of the day’s events, interactions, decisions that will give you clarity for tomorrow. That’s it. Small habits lead to big improvements. Hit reply and let me know if this works for you – or not. Awaiting your reply… Catherine |

If you ask your team member if it’s okay to reschedule a 1:1, they will likely say yes because they don’t think they have a choice. I know you feel under pressure a lot of the time, but the 1:1’s are not the place to find space. If you’re a coachey-leader,...
How are you Reader, Really... I’d love to know. Me? I’m in a season of unexpected active rest. I’ve been reading a lot of novels, pottering around the garden and making friends with the Robin. And feeling a little frustrated. What is stinging a little is the thing that hasn’t worked out so well. Two things that consume a lot of my time – the podcast, and social media– are not paying back the effort I am putting in. Whilst I don’t need fame and fortune, I realise I want something for the...
