Reflection Point – Perspective to begin 2025 well

Up high on the electricity wires above our house, I hear the chattering of birds, unusual for an early evening where the sun has already set and the sky is already dark.  They quickly disappear to their shelter for the evening ahead and looking up at the sky as quiet descends, I’m reminded of the perspective that people often refer to in coaching – “the balcony view”.

I wondered if we were able to view our busy days and waking hours from the perspective of the electricity wires high above our streets, what we would notice…

Would we notice the speed we are running at during our days as we juggle our work, meetings, home chores and family?

Could we possibly see the impact that we are having on others as we race through our days filled with meetings, emails, phone calls and online meetings?

What would you notice about how you are be-ing as a human and as a leader, of your  interactions and relationships?

 

Take a few minutes to respond to the below reflection points for yourself and considering the year ahead.
