It's ok to be a percolator ☕️

I'm sure you raised an eyebrow when you read the subject line of this week's Backyard Gossip 🤪 it's a bit of an insider story but a powerful one that I would like to share 🌿 So put on the kettle grab yourself a fresh brew and get comfy Reader 😊 I'm a quick decision-maker, a go-getter as many would call it. As soon as I got something in my mind, I (try to) make it happen. As if my life would depend on it and there is no time to waste! Over the years, however, I learned that it might not always be the best approach. "Think before you act!" is a sentence I heard a lot in my life. Especially in high school, I would often find myself in detention because of being impulsive 🫣 And to make matters worse, I would drag my - not so impulsive friends - with me. Because, honestly being in detention on your own is not fun 😆 It did teach me a valuable lesson, not everyone is a fast decision maker. Some people just need more time to let the idea seep in and let it brew for a bit before they make up their minds. While I'm a - one push of the button - Nespresso machine, they are percolators ⏳ And you know what, that's perfectly ok! One of my coaching clients is such a percolator. She had an idea in her mind of something she wanted to achieve but just needed some time to make it happen. By allowing herself that time, taking it slow and steady, she is now ready to put take action and share it with the world. I couldn't be much prouder as a coach! Instead of being intimidated by the fast decision-makers (believe me, that is never our intention) around her, and the fear of missing the boat, she kept true to herself. She made it happen just as she had it visualized 🎯 The moral of the story, whatever your pace is, as long as you move forward and keep your focus on your goal, you'll get there! And for old times sakes, I hope you don't mind me sharing the story of The Hare & The Tortoise 🐢

View in browser Hi Reader How have you been? I'm about to embark on the second half of the second semester of my MBA, and I had a fantastic break! No, not a summer break, just a one-week break 😅 That summer is on hold as an MBA student at Vancouver Island University 😏 In the past few weeks, a topic that came up repeatedly was the need to start making connections! But you know what, as kids, we’re told not to talk to strangers. Don’t trust them. Don’t follow them. And definitely don’t tell...
View in browser Hi Reader I just received an email I had sent to myself a year ago. (Yep — I do that. And you can too, by the way: https://www.futureme.org/) Reading it inspired me to share this with you today. The letter applauded me. She (future me) celebrated the stamina, the trust that it would all work out, and the patience to embrace small steps — even when they didn’t feel glamorous. She thanked me for practicing what I preach: Choosing progress over perfection. Being a proud C student...
View in browser Hi Reader As I mentioned last week, I like to ace my MBA. (Yes, probably some old beliefs popping up there — hey, I’m human too. That’s why I get coached as well 😏) But here’s the thing: In some areas, I’m perfectly fine being a C student. A few weeks ago, I went to an escape room with my teammates. We didn’t get out in time. (And no, they don’t leave you locked in forever. 😉) And you know what? I was okay with it. Because the goal wasn’t to win — it was to have fun. To bond....
