‘I know I want to do something different but I want to make it count’
It’s the time of year when most of us are either loading up to clear the decks for Christmas or starting to try and wind down. I’m hearing and seeing the impacts of post-pandemic hokey-pokey and the focus away from career to other more important things for people.
If you are wondering what that is for you, you aren’t alone. It usually sounds something like: ‘I know I want to do something different but I want to make it count’.
While I get the theme of doing the ‘stuff that really matters’ for each of us (I wrote a blog about a few months back – the ‘I’m not waiting anymore’ vibe), I can see the pressure that ‘making it count’ is adding to the burden that some us feel we have already been carrying for some time.
So, here are some thought starters to help of explore what ‘counts’ for you so you can then go do it:
- Where is the idea of ‘making it count’ coming from?
- ‘Count’ by who’s definition? Yours, society, your family, friends?
- What does ‘count’ feel like?
- What is getting in the way? It means letting go of things that don’t count anymore…
And, here is what I have learned in over 25yrs of helping people lead and land better change (for their team, their business and themselves): if you aren’t ready to get in the arena with working out and defining your purpose, it’s hard to make anything really count. You may work hard but it may not count in the way that deeply matters to you…now.
