Shared Visions
| Hi This week while I was facilitating a planning workshop I was reminded about the power a group of people talking about their visions, hopes and dreams can have. Each person added a piece to the jigsaw puzzle that was the vision of their company. Each person was needed to complete the jigsaw as each person held a piece that was unique to them. Each person left feeling heard, excited about the potential of their future and full of energy to step into their vision. Sort of reminded me about life - each one of us has our unique piece of jigsaw that we need to put on the table to create the bigger jigsaw. We need to share, speak up and not be afraid to show our jigsaw piece as without it the bigger picture may not develop. What is your jigsaw piece that you are meant to share? Have you shared it fully? Until next time warm regards Ingrid Cliff Heart Harmony www.heartharmony.com.au Business Development ... through personal development Labels: jigsaws, personal growth, planning, vision |

The Things We Do In Traffic ...
| Hi Yesterday I was in the car driving to meet some clients down the Gold Coast - usually about an hour and a half trip but ... there was some problem with the highway and my quick trip turned into a 3 hour marathon. So I got to spend a lot of time looking at the people in cars around me while ants sped past me. Some people looked resigned and bored, some were quite angry and aggressive, some were using their time talking on their mobiles and I heard a lot of music playing - sometimes people were singing along. Me - I started by talking on the phone to clients (until my battery ran out). I then found myself getting "antsy" and ended up taking the next exit and going exploring in areas I had never been before, until I found a way to where I needed to go that avoided the highway. It seemed that the delay in traffic revealed a lot about how people viewed life. Some were resigned to go slow, some were angry that they weren't going faster but didn't do anything about it, some distracted themselves and some connected with other people on the journey. I learnt about myself that I love connecting with people but I still love moving forward and am willing to get outside my comfort zone and get lost for a time before I find my way ... but I am not willing to stay stuck. Kinda nice really! What do you do in traffic? warm regards Ingrid www.heartharmony.com.au Labels: personal growth, time management, traffic jams |
