Extended Summer Pause

A few months have passed since my last post, “Maktub” in the middle of July.

It was time to pause. It was time for a break and to practice what I preach. In every profession, it’s important to rest, reflect, and recharge your batteries every once in a while.

Just ask any high-performing athlete.

Athletes understand the importance of resting your body and mind. Athletes know that if you want to perform consistently at a high level over a more extended period, you need to build in periods of rest.

I do not want to compare blog writing with the performance of an athlete, but after 18+ months of continuous publishing, it was time for a break.

Not just because of the blog writing but also because of reviewing the work I’ve been doing independently for five years.

Helping leaders and teams grow. Serving them with my best so they can be the best.

It was time for a break to review the things I love to do, the things I don’t care about, and the things I miss in my work.

July and August were great for that. Clients take a break before they dive into budget season full force in September.

Happy with the performance so far, or concerned about the catch-up they have to do in the past few months of the year?
