Leadership Coaching - Mindfulness Unleashed

ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO MEET YOUR USUAL LEVELS OF ENGAGEMENT WITH WORK?

Sometimes in life we can suddenly and often unexpectedly begin to experience a resistance to our usual way of working. It can seem like a huge struggle to complete our everyday tasks.

Often this arises when a ‘change’ or new life event arises and adds to the stress and pressure and responsibilty we are already under from our work.

Individuals with high levels of responsibility can be reluctant to seek help - as they feel they should be able to ‘hold it together’. This is usually in contradiction to what they really need to do.

Seeking help at such times can help the individual and the organisation overcome what may be a barrier to their success at both levels.

Typical symptoms of resistance include:

Feeling tired, wired and anxious, feeling buffeted by the many stresses of work and home life.

Feeling stuck, not able to use your strengths and hampered by the implied weaknesses you and others think you have?

Feeling like you’re not reaching your potential, you not getting the results that you want from the actions your taking.

Feeling that you don’t have the skills, capabilities or confidence to do what you need to do.

Feeling there a is current challenge or block that you need support to overcome.

THE EIGHT MOST COMMON LIFE CHANGES THAT CAN LEAD TO FEELING FLAT AND UNMOTIVATED AT WORK

The eight most common ‘changes’ or ‘life events’ that can lead to this state come from both inside and outside of the work environment.

A Change Internally at Work:

A new boss!

A new boss can leave us subject to different management styles, support and expectations of what we should be doing.

Culture

Cultures in business can change quickly for a variety of reasons we can't control - forcing us to adapt, before we ready.

Role

Our role and what is expected of us may change, requiring a new outlook and a different set of pressures.

Team

Key figures in our team may change, either removing those who support us, or introducing those who don’t.

A Change Externally to Work:

Divorce

Separating from our partner can be emotionally draining and a long legal process may be involved.

Bereavement

Losing someone we love can have a huge impact on our emotional state and we need time and support to grieve.

Menopause

The physical and emotional changes women experience with the menopause can significantly affect their work.

Sickness

When we (or someone close to us) develops a major illness, it can affect us emotionally, as well as take up our time.

The causes of stress and burnout are not limited to these eight situations. Whatever your current situation, if you feel you need some help, please contact us.
