Strategic Time in Silence - It Starts With You!

As a business owner and leader in your organization, you NEED to strategically set time aside to be in silence and with your own wisdom and thoughts.

Why? Because you have the answers.

Now, I understand that as a coach who supports highly successful women like yourself, it may seem contradictory for me to say that you possess the answers. However, the truth is, you do have the answers, and my coaching becomes truly transformative when you gain insight and clarity on your own thoughts.

So many books, podcasts, and articles are out there to help you, but their place in your life should be to INSPIRE YOU, not give you all the answers you seek.

Too many business owners rely on others to give them the answers. They don’t rely on their own knowledge and wisdom. It’s a slight shift I have learned through the years that our greatest gifts and insights come from within. But how do we get started?

I love to coach my clients on taking “quiet” time to be with themselves. I start small by having them set aside 30 minutes a week to answer specific questions to help them gain clarity. I instruct them to grab their favorite beverage, sit by a window, and just look out and think.

I know you are thinking…this sounds wild…that won’t make a difference in my leadership. Are you sure?

You see, you are amazing. You have cool ideas. You know yourself and what is authentic to you. So why are you not tapping into your most valuable FREE resource available ALL THE TIME to you? And the answer is that you’re not confident in the answers you receive from yourself. And I get it.

You see, many of my clients come to me with ideas they have come up with. They have the opportunity to ask me what I think, and I, in turn, get to ask them questions around their idea like, “What do you hope to gain from taking that action?”, “How do you think that person would respond if you asked that question?”

Having someone in your corner to brainstorm with and share ALL ideas…the crazy, the obvious, the ones you are most afraid to admit out loud helps you to gain confidence. It allows you to see that your thinking is actually useful and effective.

We all have ideas and know what is best for us…we have just lost the ability to listen and trust in ourselves!
