Your September Career Reset part 4: manage your energy NOT your time

Today i'm sharing a game changer when it come to time management

Do you ever get to the end of a week at work and wonder where your time ACTUALLY went?

Do you know you worked far too many hours, but don’t know how you spent them?

Do you look at your diary and see a lot of meetings but you can’t actually remember what was discussed/decided?

Or look back on your week or month in role and wonder what you’ve achieved?

I’m sorry to say this is more common than not in senior roles.

If we don’t master the transition from “doer” to “leader” with aplomb, then we can often be left adrift inbetween.

Neither doing the work that has a tangible result.

Nor leading the outcomes that the organisation depends on.

It can be a terrible no-man’s land and more of us spend time here than perhaps we would like to admit.

Then we start to question our purpose in our careers. And lose motivation.

TAKE HEART.

Today, I’m sharing a transformative way to increase your impact in your role. It really opened my eyes when I heard about this and I hope it helps you too.

At the time, I was feeling adrift, alone and overwhelmed. Weeks would go by without me being really clear on what I had achieved. I was stuck in an endless cycle of meetings and I couldn’t see or feel the “impact” I wanted to have as a leader

But on this course, I read something that changed my life…
