Kick Stress, Overwhelm, and Worry To The Curb
Ready To Kick Stress, Overwhelm, and Worry To The Curb?
At one time or another, you've probably wished others would stop asking you to take on work that was out of your ‘wheelhouse’, not inline with your core functions, or someone else’s problem? If only you could say no, but in a way that still makes you look like a team player as a way to create what YOU want.
I'm going to guess you've read a fair amount on time management, maybe even attended a webinar or seminar on personal growth, or even used some free online tools.
And maybe it helped a little.
Maybe you're a little happier, a little more successful.
And yet there is still so much more you want to be doing. Maybe with your family? Or maybe you want better relationships, greater health and well-being.
And yet you still find yourself with negative feelings like worry, concern, frustration, anxiety and even anger a lot more of the time than you'd prefer.
You still find yourself struggling for so many of the good things you want in life.
You feel stuck or feel like no matter what you do, you can't quite get to where you want to be in life.
Well, what if today was the day that everything shifted for you...for the better?
My own resilience and preparedness, through coaching not only changed my life…..it became my life
I thought I knew everything about Emergency Management and was on the fast track to being a success in the field.
Was I ever wrong!
I joined the Alberta Emergency Management Agency three months before the Slave Lake wildfires, then experienced a horrible year of floods in 2012 and then the 2013 southern Alberta floods….THEN the 2016 Wood Buffalo wildfires.
I was stressed, burnt out, not taking care of myself, and getting pushed and pulled in every direction.
I was not doing well in terms of relationships, I was struggling to be the leader I knew I could be and my family was paying the price. And I thought taking on a new role would fix everything…….wrong again!
During what seemed to by my darkest time, I had a major a-ha moment.
I stumbled upon the Government of Alberta’s Coaching Connections program.
It was as though the light bulb came on, and I finally really got it!
Coaching builds individual resilience!
Formal coaching was the missing component from my home and work life. I had taken coach training before but back then it was basically:
Ask questions
Listen
Give Feedback
My focus had set up residence. "I am not doing enough." “I have to man up”. “We don’t have the resources." "There is no time for ME." “It’s faster if I do it myself.”
I’d been focusing on exactly what I did not want as a leader.
The thoughts I was repeating to myself, that focus on a lack of resources, the lack of time, and thinking that I had to do it all was burning me out.
I had other, more experienced leaders, sending me videos and articles written by other leaders, telling me what I needed to do, telling me that I must change because I can’t change the others around me…..but this all lacked a few key things.
NONE of the articles and videos empowered me to make change. Sure they told me I had to change and why but no one was helping me do what I needed to do for myself.
It was through coaching, and being coached, that I realized the fastest way through personal change is by admitting your own truths, evaluating why those truths exist, and then developing a plan to change and stay changed.
For all of the courses, training classes, seminars, workshops I had been to, coaching is what moved me from stuck and stressed to free and happy.
