Working the calm spaces

Colleagues,

It is early may and the lettuce in the garden is popping!
 
Unfortunately, it is supposed to rain all day. It was pouring a few minutes ago, but now it has stopped, at least for a few minutes. So, now is the time to harvest.
 
Sometimes as leaders it feels like it is raining all the time. When the rain stops, we may want to stop too, but harvesting (or planting) is easier to do when it isn’t raining.
 
So, in the midst of your frenetic days, when you find a calm moment – harvest something.
 
Your most prolific crop might be your own self-reflection, but you will never benefit from it if you don’t find those few minutes of calm to reflect and grow.
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
