Engage with all the small moments.
  Engage with all the small moments.  After a couple of very challenging years, it is the Holiday Season and a New Year is around the corner. This year I have had the privilege of working with leaders as they transitioned to a “new normal.” The transition still feels like a roller coaster ride on a continuous loop. Employers are vying for top employees; workplace flexibility is high on the priority list and half of the workforce is considering a new job in 2023. See link below. (https://www.roberthalf.ca/en/half-of-canadian-workers-plan-to-look-for-a-new-position-in-the-new-year). What this has meant, certainly for my clients, is increased emphasis on communication and talent development. This season finds people are often very tired and somewhat exasperated. My wish is that everyone takes a time out this holiday season, to relax, put away the technology, engage with your family and friends and enjoy the moment. Certainly not everyone can shut down over the holidays, but perhaps you carefully consider the possibilities. One step is to clarify your intention for the holidays at your workplace. • What can be done to honour the holidays? • What does this mean for work/emails etc.? • How are you going to communicate this intention in your workplace? • What will you do if you receive emails/texts that have been deemed off limits? Speaking of people developing talent, our Rosanne Wild, who was our incredible Virtual Assistant for many years, has developed a new chapter in her life, which she is enjoying with her partner on their farm in Northern Ontario. Rosanne is a photographer (the beautiful picture was taken by her) and has an Instagram following under ‘wildfarmgirl_inspired’ so check her out. Wishing you peace in your life, rest, rejuvenation and excitement for your next chapter.
