The Northern Hemisphere’s now in the grips of a scorching summer. As the economy warms for some business owners, others are still in the depths of financial winter. Some small business professionals react negatively during business or personal crises, or operate from anxiety or fear of the unknown. Summertime, whether on the calendar or in the consciousness, is no time to be out of sync in our business and personal lives.
“Frustration, stress or poor responses to difficult or unwanted changes are signs that the heat of misaligned business and personal values is scorching you,” says Agent of Calm and Inspirational Business Coach, Renée Barnow, founder of Rightline, a coaching and consulting company based in Washington, DC. “How do we treat our businesses with the same free and easy attitude we do a summer day? Aligning our business goals with our personal values is one way. When we take an attitude toward our businesses that is consistent with our personal integrity, our work becomes effortless. It’s like a cool drink of water after being in the summer heat and sun.”
With humor, creativity and full and focused engagement, Barnow supports her clients in making difficult decisions so they can return to their integrity and thrive in the chaos, confusion and tough times of transition – like our current heated economic situation. Barnow likens the feeling of alignment with a balmy summer day with warm breezes to lift the spirits.
Thus, Barnow concentrates on helping clients ask themselves what happens in their business life that’s different from their personal ones. How is it that attitudes change simply because the event occurs in one realm versus the other? She guides her clients to examine and break old patterns and free themselves to explore new approaches, new solutions and new ways of thinking about events. They feel invigorated, truly energized about what they can accomplish.
