This fantastic feeling, away on a business trip, finding a couple of hours and relaxing in a luxurious spa… as they say “indulging”… right? Do you need to be a CEO to afford this special treat for yourself? What is it about? Is it seriously enjoyable?
You all probably had this experience. My favorites are Mii Amo, the Sanctuary on Camel Back or even Six Senses in Thailand and probably so many more around the world where you won’t resist and will book your slot to get a massage or a treatment after trying the sauna, pool and all the warm water generously pouring on your hurting body, so damaged by the miles and the seating at your desk !
Well, what do I really want to convey to you here? The experience? The desire? or simply the invitation to prioritize your well-being no matter what happens to your bottom line, your P&L or your board of directors pressuring you or threatening your job?
How can a coach ask his client to become wise? Let’s even ask. How about adopting the “so what”? “let go!” “take a deep breath”kind of approach and experience it once and for all? How about making your complicated life, intense and the busiest it can be, take a “sabbatical” of some sort, and take the pause, wherever you are?
How about embracing life, charging the batteries, and really live through a tangible “brick and mortar” focus on your soul and you body, and give them a chance to connect with you?
Simple words, simple advice. Coaching executives is about simplifying and prioritizing. Performance comes from a pure place. Everything else is a myth. High performers can look cool and relaxed. Detecting the fake in this is not difficult. The foundation for making it real is to really enroll and embark in the journey for connecting to yourself.
It’s a paradigm shift. It requires discipline and a solid mental condition. The coach pulls out all his energy and experience of the corporate challenges and real situations to guide you through this process and make it real. The point will be quickly proven. It will be so true that an ediction can develop and build up the right path for you.
