Imagine what would happen if no-one every allowed traffic to merge into different lanes when necessary - total chaos. Some sort of compromise is useful and being flexible in thinking and behaviour is a really powerful way adapt and change.

Can you imagine what would happen to a tree in gale force winds if it didn't flex as the gale raged? Or a high rise block of flats that didn't move in the same gale force winds?

The ability to 'move naturally', be a little more flexible and adapt is a useful strategy. You can read about how to become more flexible in our blog series on that very topic.

Grab a brew and weather the storm...

Have you been noticing that people are saying they are fatigued lately ? Have you noticed yourself feeling fatigued?

One explanation seems to be that the context we are all living in continues to be changing. Dealing with change and uncertainty can lead to feelings of fatigue.

So what can we do ?

A good start is to review your priorities - take stock.

Consider what is still a priority for you and what you could let go of to create more space for yourself.

Practising the art of flexibility can be really useful as you consider your choices and priorities right now.

Dive into Shared Inspirations thoughts about Flexibility and how it could be useful to consider as you prioritise and decide what's important to you right now.

Calling all Senior Leaders! It doesn't matter if you lead a small business or a large corporate, it can be a lonely place. Having someone to walk beside you as you seek to reach your personal and business goals means you never have to do that journey alone.

You can call that person a coach, mentor, advisor, confidant, the title is not important - what is important is having someone you can trust, explore possibilities with, open your mind and support you as you change and grow.

Transformation through partnership.
