Over the last few weeks I have been talking a lot in coaching skills training with coaches and leaders about the importance of taking time to pause and think before taking actin - even if it's only for a few minutes.
Many of us operate today in a context which is "go, go, go" and it is often these short nano-seconds where we can pause and think that help us make more informed actions.
Today's quote comes from Emerson who writes, "The ancestor of every action is a thought".
As you approach your actions this week, especially those important ones, consider some of the layers of awareness around the issue which might further refine your decision. As you reflect, this might include thinking further about:
perspectives you hold around the issue
assumptions you, or others, are making
options available
beliefs you are holding about the topic
values which are important to you
What are the actions you are planning to take this week that warrant a little more pause?
Have a great Sunday,
Jennifer
