Waning Into Light | How We Keep the Light on What Fuels Us When Times Feel Dark

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟Nature works in phases, rhythms, and cyclical patterns. This is essential for achieving balance and harmony.So when things are feeling particularly heavy or difficult, for you, for someone close to you, or someone in your organization, then it makes sense for us to take a cue from nature, too. When we allow ourselves and each other the space to wax and wane as life naturally dictates, it opens up valuable opportunities to co-collaborate. This week, Karlee shares how you can beautifully navigate situations that require balancing the specific needs of yourself or your organization with the needs of those who might need a little extra space in that moment. In this episode, you’ll learn why the bigger picture needs don’t have to heel to the needs of the individual while you dig deeper to create more understanding. You’ll be invited to hone in on the specific needs of the organization and focus on what’s truly important when light wanes from one direction. You’ll also begin to flip the default script and recognize that, often, the two sets of needs aren’t in competition, after all. If you’re ready to masterfully navigate the cyclical patterns of life and work, then this episode is for you.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Choosing compassion and performance in tough personal moments (6:21)Prioritizing what really matters when things feel overwhelming (9:15)The important first step in co-collaboration (12:29)Determining what is needed in order to do well (14:34)Recognizing that the needs of the person and the organization aren’t in conflict (17:43)Resources Mentioned in this Episode:Article: Leaders Don’t Have to Choose Between Compassion and Performance by Mark Mortensen and Heidi Gardner.
