Yes, I’ve had to work late but I’m proud of my effort.Wow you know when you’ve had a tough week when just getting through is enough. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t exciting it was just the fact that I got through this week. I finished late tonight at the time of writing’s 8pm and I started my day at 4:40am! Yes, I’ve had to work late but I’m proud of my effort. Yes I could have done better, yes things could have gone more smoothly but that’s the point I’m experimenting I’m trying things out to get through my week. I'm still proud I didn’t quit. That totally crossed my mind.This project I’m working on is a big deal I’ve never been on something like this before, so much analysis and reviewing, organising my calendar to pivot for adjustments, it’s just been off the charts. But you know what, it’s been worth it, I made it and I can be proud of that. Even now thinking back on this week I could have done things better, I'm still proud I didn’t quit. That totally crossed my mind, but this morning I recorded a story to say that’s my go to. But this means something, it involves coaching so the pain I’m going through now is worth it because I believe coaching is so important I’m prepared to put myself on the line to make this happen. I’m so grateful to have this blog so I can actually chart this experienceFor me, it’s about the people, and yes I’ve had to show some tough love this week and thinking back perhaps I could have been softer, perhaps I could have asked a better question. Deep down I know we will all reflect, after this week and we come back bigger and stronger. I’m so grateful to have this blog so I can actually chart this experience because I know someone somewhere is having a similar experience. The message from all this is just to hang in there to keep going if it means something to you. Anything great or with achieving is worth the price, worth the pain because I know the people I am helping will benefit. The hardest thing about all this is to know that the price that you pay is worth it, but it’s bloody painful, but at the same time anything great or with achieving is worth the price, worth the pain because I know the people I am helping will benefit, they will become stronger and so will I. We have had some honest conversations and I’m encouraging them to be honest with me, it’s no point having conversations unless there is a measurable output that will be completed to see what happens. When going through these big projects there is an element of experimentation, sometimes they go right and sometimes they go wrong but that’s the point, that’s the path to improvement. What I hold true to my heart is that I want to help people. Even today I observed something and I wasn’t sure about what to do, so I reached out to one of my peers and just to soundboard that piece of information was enough for me to process what I was doing and to really focus on improving for the next time. What I hold true to my heart is that I want to help people, that’s my intention and yes sometimes it can feel harsh, but deep down I feel for them and want them to win and that’s what counts. I am open, I am open for feedback to the people I coach and that’s so important I have to remain teachable, lead and learn by example. |
