The 2020 Shift in Women and Work for Me

Upasana 'Uppi’ Doshi, one of the most passionate people I met while reading for my MBA at the Schulich School of Business, York University, wrote this LinkedIn article (link in blogpost), after seeing headlines about women leaving the workforce (2020). If you're feeling this deeply as well, I believe you will find solace and a sense of support in her article. I truly empathize with this lens on the shift, and many of us will feel and experience it as she has. What I share, here, is a lens that takes this shift and (hopefully) awakens a greater sense of possibility within you.

The opportunity inherent in this pandemic

In a world that usually makes sure we’re always too busy for deep introspection, to find out who you really are and — beyond the panic, beyond survival mode, of a pandemic — what you really, deeply, want most out of this life, is an opportunity I invite you to immerse yourself in, if you can.

Authenticity allowed — for Service Professionals

Authenticity allowed — for Service Professionals

I really do believe we attract what we focus on, and what we believe — in fear or in love. I believe — and perhaps that belief is why I attract the experience — that this applies to the people and relationships we attract as well, clients included.

When we shift our mindsets to focus on what we love or what brings us joy, and we begin to recognize that we inherently believe that, and not the thing we feared. The momentum of that takes a little time to show up, so it may seem as if we’re still attracting the previous focus, when in fact the shift simply hasn't yet shown up in our physical reality yet. Exciting, isn't it? That means we just need to stay focused on what we want, rather than fear, to see more of what we want. In my experience, it is quite literal, and it happens more readily now, than when I first started focusing more mindfully. Here’s one look at a small mindset shift that helped.

Feminine energy is not Feminist

Feminine energy is not Feminist. If you follow the hashtag #feminine on LinkedIn, it's slow to start, but there's already so much magic there. 🌺 It also shows that there's room to blossom there. Here’s one example of that room to blossom. Check out this LinkedIn post and the related comments…

Why success flows from your Comfort Zone

Why success flows from your Comfort Zone

Your comfort zone is your friend. It is not boring, it is not a prison, it is where you breathe most deeply, where you feel safe and secure, where you are most confident. Your stretch zone is just beyond the boundary of your comfort zone, and often eventually becomes your new comfort zone, as you grow and evolve authentically and at your own pace. What do you think your energy levels would look like if you lived by this? Read more here.

Global inspiration for your personal feasible schedule

Global inspiration for your personal feasible schedule

As I focus on inspired creativity this year, which translates to focused productivity, in business, I want to be very careful to help you stay in a space of taking action only out of ease, flow and desire. It is in this state that you are most energized, yet clear - unhustled and confidently decisive.  Enter your very own feasible schedule. We're all human, so there are elements we all share, but the schedule that works for you, while it will overlap with that of your ideal clients, will not be like anyone else's. Your current habits, needs and cycles, are unlike anyone else's. What's yours? This one fell into my lap for you! Entrepreneur, mompreneur or corporate.

Serve better clients, better. Mindful entrepreneurship

Mindful Entrepreneurship.  Serve better clients, better.  Wait.  What?  Yip.  I firmly believe we're all of equal value, here, but that we simply are not all compatible.  When I say "better clients", I'm therefore referring to clients who aren't trying to change you - personality, pricing or practice - and vice versa.  Who values you as you are?

Here's to life and business as You, just as you are

A big shift for me has been to stop directing clients along the mainstream path, or mine, and start inviting them to take ownership of their own. It's now about inviting people into a space where they can BE. It is, actually, more about holding space for them as they create the space they need to have in order to freely be. What do you think? Do you do the same for clients?
