Now at the midpoint of 2020, reflecting on the year so far with a friend last night I simply came up with 2 words – amazing & awful.
2020 thus far has been a year of...
love & loss…
obliteration & opportunity…
shock & steadiness….
a year of the amazing and awful.
It really hasn’t been too different the “train track” of life….full of good and bad enmeshed as one. I guess the difference has been the acceleration and gravity of this year’s events, on a global and local scale.
Like many, even though I feel slightly raw and battered, I know that I can face every day surrounded by “my people” who walk the mundane and ordinary days, as well as the dark valleys and the high mountain top experiences with me. The trusted few that I lean on for love, support, wisdom and counsel where and when needed the most. My “personal board of advisors” who, with their combined wealth of business and life experience, knowledge and connections - help bring clarity for my next steps and provide a safe sounding board.
Who is on your personal board of advisors? Who can you turn to and lean on in times of crisis and increasing uncertainty? And who in turn can you help provide a safe space for?
Now is an ideal time to intentionally surround yourself with a strong, diverse & astute personal board of advisors to help you navigate and weather these amazing and awful times.
Don't delay.
