Why Business Leaders are Going through the Stages of GriefGomindSHIFT
As a business leader, it probably hasn’t occurred to you that you would be going through the stages of grief.
After all, you were coming off a strong 2019. You had a plan. You built a team. That goal you were chasing? It was just in reach.
Then an unexpected global pandemic hits, and you watch those plans evaporate. Now you must face a steep learning curve of survival.
Emotionally, you are reeling.
Of course, it probably doesn’t feel or look like reeling. Instead, it feels like intense frustration. We feel a dark cloud of negativity. We may come across edgier or lose patience. We attempt to numb the body blow with busyness. Or, we experience the flatline of inertia.
The thing about market downturns and drops in company valuations is that everyone feels it.
Anyone who wants to learn how to harness the power of the mind to get anything in life
Are you getting everything you want out of life?
Most of us can’t honestly answer that we are.
Most of us have dreams that have so far gone unfulfilled, or goals that we haven’t quite yet managed to accomplish
Many of us might feel that we’re somewhat in a rut, or we might have days were our moods just aren’t good.
Maybe your physique isn’t what it should be
Maybe you’re tired all the time.
What Does This Come Down To?
The mistaken reaction is to blame outside factors.
And most of us are guilty of blaming our circumstances, our genetics, or perhaps the training program we chose.
Maybe we blame the personal trainer!
But this isn’t how change happens.
Change happens by taking responsibility for your life and for realizing that everything starts with you.
The most successful and happy people in the world are the ones with an internal focus of control. That means that they understand they have the power to change their fortunes and they actually go about doing so – rather than pointing to other things.
Your Mindset is Where Everything Starts
Your mindset is where everything starts
It’s how you set goals. It’s what gives you the strength to go after them.
It’s what makes you confident and daring. It’s what makes you creative and focused.
Your mindset is what helps you to appreciate what you already have.
To see the positive instead of the negative.
Your mind is an incredibly powerful machine and once you can tap into that power, then the sky is the limit.
But where do you begin?
That’s why I created a course on this exact subject.

HBR's 10 Must Reads on Change Management: The Real Reason People Won't Change
The Real Reason People Won’t Change
by Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey
EVERY MANAGER IS FAMILIAR with the employee who just won’t change. Sometimes it’s easy to see why—the employee fears a shift in power, the need to learn new skills, the stress of having to join a new team. In other cases, such resistance is far more puzzling. An employee has the skills and smarts to make a change with ease, has shown a deep commitment to the company, genuinely supports the change—and yet, inexplicably, does nothing.
What’s going on? A.
Our beliefs drive our behavior and eventually our identity. If you want to change how you parent, you must be willing to look at what you really believe & be willing to change those beliefs. So what do you believe about relating to others?
Empowerment is “the process of increasing the capacity of individuals or groups to make choices and to transform those choices into desired actions and outcomes”.

Finding the Turnaround
21 September 2016
We can be very quick to look externally for the issues - and excluding ourselves from
the post-mortem process. Restore yourself to responsibility by finding the turnaround.
Many of us – and perhaps especially those of us in
leadership roles – can be very quick to look externally
when things don’t go to plan or miss expectation. To
somehow exclude ourselves from the post-mortem.
And we can be doubly-guilty of this external focus bias
when those circumstances leave within us uncomfortably
negative feelings.
But more than we care to admit, we are responsible for the
reality we create.
And as for the uncomfortable feelings that result – well,
that’s ALL us. Because it’s not the thing itself that upsets us,
but the thoughts, beliefs and stories we attach to the thing.
As long as we think the problem is out there, the situation
is going to be beyond us.
Challenging our
view of the world
To take back control:
1. Notice the story you’re telling
yourself and ask: “Is It True?”
2. And then: look for the “turnaround”.
The turnaround is something I love to have my private
clients challenge themselves with.
It’s about taking our judgement and turning it on its head.
Statements become their opposite. Statements about others
become statements about ourselves. Statements that are
external in focus become internal in focus.
Here are a few examples.
(Notice what the turnarounds do for
the person thinking the thought.)
She doesn’t trust me.
She does trust me (but I choose not to see it).
I don’t trust her (but won’t admit it).
I don’t trust myself (engendering mistrust from
others).

He should have done a better
job.
I could have done a better job (supporting and
delegating).
He couldn’t have done a better job (with the tools
and direction given).
They are not prepared to make
the change.
They are prepared to make the change (but in a
different way).
I am not prepared to make the change (but care not
to admit it).
My team should respect me
more.
I could respect my team more (and lead by
example).
My team shouldn’t respect me (until I earn it).
I will respect myself more (engendering respect from
others).
They should have promoted me.
They shouldn’t have promoted me (because honestly,
I’m not ready yet).
I could have promoted myself (and acted up to my
target role).
My team failed to meet to my
expectations.
My team met my expectations (as set by me).
I failed to meet my team’s expectations (with poor
delegation).
I failed to meet my expectations (and the standards I
set for myself).
The power of
the turnaround
Finding the turnaround is not about apportioning blame.
It’s about noticing that what we see on the outside is
more-often-than-not a projection of our own thinking.
Notice, in any of the above examples that might resonate
with you, how the turnaround is as true (if not truer!)
than the original thought.
Notice also that the turnaround restores me to two useful
states:
1. Self-awareness, leading to options and choices.
2. Accountability, reclaiming my responsibility and
influence.
With these useful states, we ultimately achieve the result.
And as a special bonus, with far less of the uncomfortable
feelings that accompanied the original thought.
So from here: make it your habit to challenge your stories
and look for the turnaround – in any way you care to,
until self-realisation results.
