Keeping track of these work disruptions (sick kids) and reflecting on how it influences me in cycles, has helped me realize that in the future, I can plan to take on less work in the winter months so that I'm not struggling to keep up when, inevitably, a virus runs through the house.
It's these kinds of reflections that allow us to see the ways that 'business as usual' isn't serving us, or our staff or communities. Paying attention to cycles and trends can go a long way in creating kinder workplaces that are better for morale and overall wellbeing.
In honour of the IWD theme of #AccelerateAction, I want to give away some of my time to help break free of the old ways of doing things. Book a free 30-minute chat and we'll conspire to see how you can get past what's holding you back, and come up with a couple of practical, actionable steps for moving forward.
Tasha Van Vlack at the Non-Profit Hive had it right that 30 minutes is enough to really make a difference. Now, more than ever, connection is critical. If there's a question or idea that you'd like to talk through, this is your sign to start the conversation. Feel free to share this with others who might find it useful.
TL:DR; pick my brain for 30 minutes for free, no strings attached.
