The end of one year and the start of another is a very appropriate time for this type of reflection. Many in our circle of contacts can attest to the reality that 2016 has been a year filled with some significant challenges. Yet, as we've been working with our clients in either a coaching or mentoring capacity, we've also seen triumph in areas that had previously been a concern. We see these as being 'win - win' victories that definitely provide a great sense of satisfaction!
At this time of the year we’d encourage you to take some time for your own reflection over this past year. Pause to remember the specific people who've helped you in positive ways and allowed you to get to where you are today. Then, take it a step further and find a meaningful way to show your appreciation to those who've added meaning and value into your life.
You may think of someone who's acted as a Mentor, perhaps in a formal capacity, or in ways that would be far more informal. Was there someone who's helped you to make progress in your career, develop a new skill, or provided you with a piece of sage advice in other matters?
And finally, as you give this consideration, take a moment to look forward into the year ahead. Is there someone who comes to mind that you feel might benefit from something you could share with them? Why not reach out and contact them today! Try to arrange a time to get together and further explore this and see if it's something they would find helpful. The year ahead could become an even more fascinating 'journey of discovery' for both of you!
In closing this post, as we are at this reflective time of the year, we'd like to share a short video message that we prepared a few years ago. It was a time that we found to be rather challenging for us in a number of respects, but we've viewed it as being 'a part of the process' - one that reminded us of what was most important in our lives. We trust that it would be helpful.
Merry Christmas 'to you and yours' and we wish you all of the best in the years ahead.
