Obstacles and Opportunities
"This year has been tough"
\nI have heard it, i have read it, I have seen it, I have maybe even said it, butI think with brutal honesty, it can and will be every year.
Looking back over the last 5+ years...
Brexit (and that is still nowhere near done!)
Immigration & lack of talented resource
Covid and global lockdowns
Another financial banana skin - thanks Liz Truss!
For a plethora of reasons, each day, week, month and year across every industry can be tough.
The difference, for me, has and will always be in 'our response'.
What we say, feel, think & do next! That's where our superpower is. In the choices that we have.
On Friday at Strategic Planning I kept referring to a quote from Lorenzo the Magnificent (or his proper name Lorenzo De Medici) which was:
"I am beset with obstacles and opportunities"
I think we all are, so whether they are people or things, its how we rise to meet them. And we need support to do that. We need a sounding board to stop us going nuts. We need accountability to ensure we don't stop where we normally would but we also don't repeat the same old patterns and exhaust ourselves in the process.
