Watch a short and interesting video by Prof Boyatzis here. Very interesting speech on resonant leadership!
As I am immersing myself more and more in this journey towards "what really matters to me, what am I really passionate about", I catch myself being stuck in the loop of "but how do I find time to engage with all of this".
I have long ago given up on using the excuse that I do not have time for something. One has time for everything one wants to do - it's a matter of priorities. To a great extent, anyway.
Now imagine, most of us have (1) a full time job, (2) a hobby, (3) a family, and like to get (8) a decent amount of sleep a day. In addition to this comes cooking, commuting, exercise, relaxation and socializing, to mention the bare minimum. Relaxation is a must - and so is socializing, for mental sanity and for a balance in out everyday lives. (Having just read an article recently about some of the top leaders in which they all say they meditate every day! Emptying our head is quintessential and it it's just too often that we forget to do it.)
But then how does one integrate the core purpose and passion into everything we do? It most likely should not be something "on top" of everything we already do. Most of us have a job, a set of tasks to perform at work and outside of it and some social commitments (towards family and friends). With our days filled with to-dos, how can we practice mindfulness, presence, resonant leadership and work towards our personal and professional vision?
Or how can we come up with a vision that is applicable to us both on a personal and a professional level? Where is the balance? And once found, how can we maintain it?
I think I am starting to see parts of an answer that I will find workable, but I would like to receive your insight on it as well.
