It’s a wrap! My first hosted retreat at the Bliss Villa in Destin is complete. My fellow CEO’s rewarded me with a special gift. Look carefully at the label of the wine. A very nice bottle of wine would have been appreciated, but the intention of this gift touched my heart.
The biggest takeaways from our week is the realization of how big a role our little child continues to play in our lives as adults. We need to take care of our little selves while at the same time, learn a thing or two from our younger selves.
Also, we all came to agreement that if a person is stuck, they are not in a mental space to process or apply tactical strategic advice, even if it’s excellent. We should avoid giving friends, family, and colleagues advice when a person is clearly stuck. Instead, engage them in deep meaningful conversation. Ask lots of questions. This will help them get to a place where they can identify why they are stuck. Once discovered, they will be much more open to all your solutions.
Friday I get on a plane to Hawaii to run four retreats in four weeks. Gonna be a barnburner! This morning my heart is full and I look forward to more of this!
