5 Things to Be Grateful For Being Present

January 4, 2012 by Diana Leave a Comment

Yes, we’re thankful for our health, our safety, our loved ones. But what else? Pause and think about what we take for granted? What moves us? What would fill our hearts daily if we would pause for a moment and just notice it?

 

1. The senses. Sight, sound, touch, smell and taste—daily miracles each of them.

 

2. The plant world. From the productivity of a late-summer tomato plant to the delicate unfurling of a fern, nature’s exuberance and tenderness is something to behold.

 

3. Opportunity. Our steady companion, opportunity is always ready to take us down a path yet unknown. (Hint: We have to say “Yes!”)

 

4. Beauty. What do your eyes feast on? What splendor makes your soul rejoice? It is all around us every day. How often do you stop to drink it in?

 

5. The ability to learn. There is no age limit on learning—period. When we stop learning, we really stop living.

Working with Diana was great. She helped me identify my leadership strengths and find ways to use them to maximize my value to the organization as I transitioned into a new role with greater responsibility.

The main benefit of coaching was simply the reworking of my priorities to bring some semblance of balance back into my life as it applied to my family relationships and personal well-being.

Creating a Framework for Success as a Sustainable Leader in a Socially Connected Environment
Being a sustainable leader isn’t just a ‘touchy-feely’ term. It’s about creating innovation and collaboration within your environment. It’s about accomplishing goals that matter. And yes, it’s even about improving the bottom line of your business.

Because nothing is sustainable if it doesn’t “increase profitability and your competitive advantage.”
