Recalibrate - summer edition
Summer downtime is great AND confusing: your mind is free to wander, explore, ideas flow in... along with hard questions and tricky issues you put under the rug during the year.
Yesterday I was throwing some old paper files to keep my hands busy as my mind was racing. Because that's what it does IFYKYK
Out of the blue, I stumbled on a pile of sheets labelled "2021 year in review".
It was based on a framework designed by the brilliant Anne-Laure Le Cunff - please take a minute to look up her Ness Labs community if you don't know her yet (Ness = people in Algerian dialect btw <3).
I suddenly remembered hosting an online "year in review" session with fellow members of my community in Dec 2021 to kickstart the year nicely:
- we all filled it quietly during an hour,
- we briefly shared some supporting words with one another... et voilà !
- we ended with a list of big topics (health, business, relationships, etc), highs and lows, and next steps.
Nothing fancy, as simple as you want it to be.
I don't know about you but :
- the best way for me to carve time for a daunting task is to commit to someone else. And making sense of the summer noise is def daunting 🙄
- if your summer break ends on Monday 26th, it can be a soothing way to find your way back to the office, without jumping too quickly into the hamster wheel 🙄
So how about we made our future selves a favour and took an hour to reflect, clear some noise, and activate some concrete ideas for the coming months?
**** Let's do a "Recalibrate - summer edition" together ! ****
Details:
- Who can join: anyone who wants to take a step back, but feels too busy, even on holiday, doesn't know where to start, is overwhelmed by annual reviews, etc
- When: Friday Aug 23rd 3pm CET, for 1 hour (+ 30 minutes optional break out discussion).
Please be on time - I won't let anyone join after 3.05 to protect the reflection process for everyone including myself
- Where: online, by the pool or wherever you are, with some privacy to allow you to write/type/feel freely whatever comes
- What should you bring: some paper sheets or any digital note-taking tool you use... and your favourite beverage
- What should you prepare before: nothing really. If you have a diary, you can flip through previous entries or review your calendar for the past year. I won't, but you do you :)
- What's not: !! a coaching session !! (first and foremost because I am not a coach...). Participants will be invited in the end to share how they feel, ask questions if they want. But no obligation whatsoever!
- What if I am not available/not into group sessions: you can absolutely do it on your own :) Please refer to the Ness Labs framework.
- How much: it's free. I am hosting it as an accountability tool for me, so your joining helps ME really :)
