Spark up the energy!
As we reach into the last quarter of the year it’s time to ask – is my energy growing, stagnating or declining? These last three months can turn an ordinary year into something special, so it’s a great time to re-energise yourself and your team.
Options to energise on the personal side could include steps towards improving or getting fit, perhaps setting a new sporting goal, taking up a musical instrument or booking a Christmas break to look forward to. Evidence shows that just planning for a holiday can be as refreshing and energising as the actual holiday itself, so I am setting my eyes on some well-deserved down time over December.
Personally, I’m a bit of a health nut, so also looking at taking up a new sport. I’m inspired to take a look at sailing having recently spent a few days with a woman who circumnavigated the globe for ten years, with her husband and their 60ft yacht. That is also an extra motivation to be physically and mentally fit.
On the work front September is a great time to pause a moment to take a fresh look at the business vision, mission and growth plan. It’s time to set a date for an end of year reflection and 2024 goal setting. Your team is probably also looking forward to an opportunity to reflect on successes of the past year and be inspired for the future. Plans for the end of year celebrations, no matter how modest, can start now.
And this week let’s think how to energise ourselves and the people around us by recognising and thanking them for their contributions, taking a deep in-breath and setting some inspiring goals, intentions and actions.
