1 Activity To Do
Each day this week notice…
The speed and pace you are working at – especially when things are not going to plan.
Several times this past week I have found myself feeling annoyed and frustrated that things were not working out as I had hoped.
I started rushing, trying more and different ways.
My thinking became muddled and rushed. Until. Until I slowed. Took a break. Took some deep breaths. Counted to 10. Went for a short walk outside.
Returned at a later stage with a clear focus.
So this week…..notice. Take your time, slow down and show patience. Become aware of your impact and clarity of thought.
Capture your feelings when frustrated and then again at a later stage when clearer. Become aware of your patience threshold and how it impacts you.
(Thanks to the IT challenges I have had recently, and my client NP for providing this opportunity to reflect and learn)
1 Question For You
Ask yourself each day this week…
“What is the story I tell myself about ‘perfection’ in relation to the quality of the work I do?”
And as a follow on….
“How does this story help or hinder me?”
Getting to know your ‘Perfection driver’ is a key component to your ability to perform.
(I have had many conversations with clients over the past month or so related to how they are striving for ‘perfection’ and how this is not helping – thanks for being so honest! Let me know how you get on with this question…!)
1 Idea To Consider
Consider The Art of Omotenashi…
To wholeheartedly look after guests.
The core values of Omotenashi are anticipation, selflessness, and sincerity.
Giving from the heart and deep consideration in attention to detail is the Omotenashi truth.
But omotenashi is more than just providing a welcoming environment.
Omote means “public face,” an image you wish to present to outsiders.
Nashi means “nothing.”
Together it means a selfless service that is pure, with an open heart.
It’s anticipating guests’ needs without any expectation of reward.
How does this play out for you with those around you at work and home?
