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 I just came back from a two-week break. No big trip. No grand adventures. Just a slower pace. The MBA semester has started again, and before diving back into the full swing of classes, I savoured some simple joys, like my Wednesday morning ritual. Every week, for 8 weeks straight, I joined a sunrise paddleboard group. No phone. No notifications. Just good company, water, light, and the quiet strength it takes to balance. 🌅 And honestly? That simplicity has been...
View in browser Hi Reader I'm sure that you can relate to the fact that some of the easiest conversations happen when you least expect them. Like sitting on an airplane, nowhere to go for a couple of hours. Years ago, when I was still living in South Africa, I flew from Cape Town to Nelspruit. An older gentleman was seated next to me. We exchanged the usual polite nods, but the conversation didn’t start until we were about to take off. I noticed he seemed a bit nervous. My curious self...
