How did it happen? You set your goals and objectives for your function at the beginning of the year. You worked with your team to define key projects and initiatives so that your function can achieve those goals and objectives. You find yourself working hard every day but you're not being productive. You're spending a lot of time and effort, but not on what are the true priorities of your function. You spend each day putting out fires and reacting to the emergencies of others. Receiving "another" priority from "up above", dealing with a manager that suffers from "shiny object syndrome", and receiving emergency requests from other teams. To get any real, impactful work done, you have to work at night or during the weekend. You have no time for yourself, for your family, or for your friends. And you find yourself in a constant state of frustration, stress, and just feeling out of control. But what if it doesn't have to be this way? What if you could not only stay clear on what is a true priority, but take control of your day to make sure that is where you spend most of your time and energy? How would it feel to be on track to accomplish your business goals and still have time to have dinner with your spouse or partner? To be able to go to bed at a reasonable time and wake up refreshed? While this may seem impossible, it isn't. It's just a matter of learning to lead yourself again and meeting each day with a mindset of being intentional. When you're ready, let's talk. Contact me to schedule a no cost, no obligation strategy session where you will receive some practical guidance on how to get clear on your priorities and control your work day rather than letting your work day control you.
