I recently came back from holiday and felt overwhelmed by the tasks I needed to do. The first day in the office I had a full e-mail in-box, I felt out of touch with my customers, I started to question my ability to do the job. I sat and worried, productivity was poor.
Thankfully I had a coaching session planned. I told my coach the list of concerns, she said very little, allowing time for me to hear my own words.
“Now I say it out loud it seems silly. My skills haven’t disappeared because I’ve been away for 10 days. I have a system for prioritising work and clearing e-mails. I have good habits and I know how to get back into a routine”
I heard good advice because I had a chance to “say it out loud”. My coach didn’t need to advise. I needed a chance to air my concern, and a bit of time to hear a response.
So, find a place where you feel safe and comfortable and “say it out loud”. Your own voice may give you a great answer.
