𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠—𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮? Finding balance is often seen as a key to success and well-being. In an article by Brian Formato, he explored the idea that balance requires constant adjustments — like a surfer staying upright on a wave. It’s a delicate dance between short-term priorities and long-term goals, work and life, encouragement and tough love in leadership. 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞: https://lnkd.in/ernExfJG On the other hand, in 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐊𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐚𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐧 argue that balance is a myth. They suggest we embrace counterbalancing — leaning deeply into what matters most, even if it means letting other things temporarily fall out of focus. Instead of striving for perfect equilibrium, they recommend shifting energy toward your “one thing” and adjusting as needed over time. As the saying goes, “𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦-𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺.” How do you approach balance in your life or leadership? Do you find value in constantly seeking balance, or do you resonate more with the idea of counterbalancing?

Feeling the weight of continually striving for "work-life balance" on your shoulders? The 70/30 Principle can help! 🕰️ Imagine spending 70% of your time in your "sweet spot," where you excel effortlessly in tasks aligned with your passion and expertise. That's where your true potential shines! The remaining 30%?

It's a recipe for burnout and decreased productivity. 📊 Your ratios can fluctuate, reflecting your work-life alignment. Last week might have been 60/40, this week could be 70/30.

Many of us are led to believe that work-life balance is the key to our happiness and success. And yet most who try finding their balance never truly get there. Instead, what’s experienced includes: 🤸♂️ Rigid Boundaries and Strained Relations 🤸♂️ Missed Opportunities & 🤸♂️ Guilt and Burnout You end up juggling (and dropping) more balls than ever because you’re trying to balance more balls than ever! You don’t have two lives to ‘balance’, you have one life to live. Instead of seeing things as compartments to compartmentalize You begin to see the whole. The complementary themes. The synergies. And from the integrated whole, you can drop your boundaries, become flexible and in flow. And with this your well being improves. Creating more productivity. And space for more ‘life’.  And so it goes. We’ve been fortunate to work with some of the coolest business owners and executives on just this over the past few years. And we’ve got the formula and the proof that this way of living, just rocks. So i’m delighted we’re going to share a sneak peek of this formula in the coming few days And progress the conversation to a ‘whole’ new level (no pun intended) Cheers, Andrew. #WorkLifeIntegration #Leadership #BusinessOwners #PersonalGrowth #HighPerformance #ExecutiveCoaching #Wellbeing

Waking up early has been a game-changer for me. It’s amazing how a few extra hours in the morning can set a positive tone for the entire day. Starting my day with physical movement has become an essential part of my routine—whether it’s a quick workout or a brisk walk. This practice not only energises me but it also sharpens my focus and productivity. Since bringing more support into my business, I’ve found a renewed sense of balance. Delegating tasks effectively has given me the freedom to prioritise my well-being and professional growth. Early mornings and exercise are now integral to my routine, helping me manage my time more efficiently and maintain a healthier work-life balance. 🙌 Here’s to leveraging the quiet hours of the morning and the power of movement to achieve both personal and professional success! 😊 #Productivity #WorkLifeBalance #MorningRoutine #Leadership

Becoming more positive at work involves cultivating a mindset of optimism, resilience, and gratitude. 1- Focus on the Positive: Train yourself to focus on the positive aspects of your work, such as accomplishments, progress, and growth opportunities, rather than dwelling on the negatives. 2-Practice Gratitude: Take time each day to reflect on what you're grateful for in your work environment. 3- Set Realistic Goals: Set achievable goals for yourself and celebrate your progress along the way. Break larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks to maintain momentum and a sense of accomplishment. 4- Surround Yourself with Positivity: Surround yourself with positive influences at work, such as supportive colleagues, mentors, and role models. 5- Stay Mindful: Practice mindfulness techniques to stay present and focused on the task at hand. 6- Take Breaks: Take regular breaks throughout the day to recharge and rejuvenate. Step away from your desk, go for a walk, or engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. 7- Seek Feedback: Solicit feedback from colleagues and supervisors to gain insights into your strengths and areas for improvement. Use feedback as an opportunity for growth and learning rather than criticism. 8- Celebrate Successes: Take time to celebrate achievements, both big and small, with your team. 9- Maintain a Healthy Work-Life Balance: Strive to maintain a healthy balance between work and personal life. Make time for activities outside of work that bring you joy and fulfillment. #businessdevelopment #management #motivation #leadership

And take a few deep breaths in and out… You've been pushing hard lately, and I want to talk about how you're managing work-life balance. I get it; being in an executive role is tough. The demands can be all-consuming, and it's not uncommon for the lines between your professional and personal life to blur into one chaotic mix.

Finish Strong Friday As we wrap up the week, it's essential to remember the value of finding your work-life rhythm. Balancing work, personal time, and rest isn't easy, but understanding the rhythm of where you are in life is key. This week, I was reminded of the 8+8+8 rule: 8 hours for work, 8 hours for personal life, and 8 hours for rest. It’s a simple yet powerful way to ensure we’re nurturing all aspects of our lives. Often I’ll find my rhythm could be where I work less and spend more time with personal. Adapt for YOU! As you head into the weekend, I encourage you to reflect on your own rhythm. Are you giving each area the attention it deserves? Challenge yourself to maintain that balance—recharge, reconnect, and come back ready to conquer next week! Let's finish strong and keep that rhythm steady. #FinishStrongFriday #leadershipdevelopment #selfleadership #LeadTheLifeYouLove #workliferhythm

🌟 Relax, Recharge, Reflect: The Power of Taking Time Off 🌟 As leaders, we often push ourselves and our teams to keep going, striving for excellence and results. But it's crucial to remember that sometimes the best way to contribute fully is to take a step back and allow ourselves to disconnect, relax, and recharge. "Relax, Recharge and Reflect. Sometimes it’s OK to do nothing." This powerful quote serves as a reminder that rest isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. By taking time to unwind and reflect, we return to our teams more energized, creative, and ready to tackle challenges with a fresh perspective. Here are a few tips to help you embrace this mindset: Schedule Downtime: Just as you plan your work, plan your rest. Block off time in your calendar to unwind and disconnect. Embrace Nature: Spend time outdoors to clear your mind and gain new insights. Reflect on Achievements: Use this time to celebrate your wins and learn from your experiences. Prioritize Self-Care: Engage in activities that rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul. Let's encourage each other to take breaks and come back stronger. Your well-being is the foundation of your success. 🌿✨ #Leadership #SelfCare #Recharge #Teamwork #WellBeing #WorkLifeBalance #MentalHealth #RelaxAndRecharge

I’ve been seeing a lot of high achievers struggling lately. One successful friend recently shared, “My business is thriving, but I feel constantly stressed and under pressure, I can't stop.” Meanwhile, another person told me, “I’m stuck in a job that feels stagnant, and it’s draining me daily.” These stories are reminders: thriving at work shouldn’t come at the cost of your well-being. Here are some simple changes that can make a big difference in your work life: ☑️ 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 Communicate your work availability. Setting boundaries protects your work-life balance, helping you to recharge and be more productive. ☑️ 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆 Start each day with a to-do list focused on what’s most important. Using tools like the Eisenhower Matrix can help you prioritize effectively, keeping you focused on what truly matters. ☑️ 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀 Incorporate short breaks, like the Pomodoro Technique, where you work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. Regular pauses can boost focus and help prevent burnout. Even small steps can bring meaningful improvement to your day. After all, change is the only constant—let’s make it work in our favour. #ProfessionalGrowth #WorkLifeBalance #Mindset #PersonalDevelopment #Leadership
