I’ve Got to Let Go…
Posted on August 11th, 2008 by Cynthia D'Amour
In order to grow.
I finally realized there are not 43 hours in a day. (Who knew?)
This amazing insight came to me when I created a mindmap of what we are doing in our business.
- Chapter Leaders Playground
- Traveling the country to speak at leadership conferences
- Writing here, other blogs, my Active Member Minute, articles and more.
We’re juggling a lot - and I’m trying to keep more than I should in the air at one time.
So today starts a new day.
- Sarah is joining our team. (That’s Sarah in the photo.)
- Her main focus is the Playground.
- I’m excited to have her on board.
And at the same time, I’m finding I have to pry things away from myself.
- I know how I like to have them done.
- It’s going to take time to teach Sarah.
- Will she be as passionate as I am about them?
I caught myself in a mental tirade yesterday and just had to laugh…
- I know volunteer leaders who think it’s easier to do everything themselves.
- And then wonder why they are feeling burned out.
- Time to dump that cycle!
So welcome Sarah to our team!
- I’m looking forward to giving you lots to do.
- It’s going to create more space for me to be even more creative!
Makes me think of chapter leaders… What do you need to let go of so you can truly welcome new members to your team?
