What to do? What to say? What a dilemma! |

Dear Nigel,
What has happened to Nigel's newsletters? He just
did not get restarted after the summer break.
The summer break seems light years away now. The
intensity of coming back to work, was like a pile of
things had been left undone before going away
demanding attention–
actually many things had been started before the
break which required action on the next steps
immediatelay on return.
September is the beginning of a new school year:
and, for me, it is like the
beginning of a new year, especially from a business
sense.
After the summer break, and a good dose of
reflection, it is time to launch new projects, and pick
up exisiting ones with new energy.

Have a break ...
Having a break (from the daily routines), with a
change of environment, is great for getting a new
perspective on your life. The greater the contrast
the more likely the new perspective will be.
You will get insight as to what you want to do, or
what you do not want to do. You may get new
ideas as to how to go forward with your life.

I went into the summer break with the dilemma of
what to do about writing these newsletters. On one
side I love to write – it is always a surprise to me
what I write! Just like painting: it is wonderful to
watch what is being painted. On the other hand the
reason the
newsletter was started no longer exists.
These newsletters were started as fish soup (as one
zen master put it) – a freebie to promote my
coaching practice. Now this kind of promotion is no
longer right for me, as my work has taken a different
turn.
I am still active working with people and companies
to realize their potential.
What to do? What to do? It is time to move on. This
is the last newsletter. There it is done!
You can always find a question, which may
prompt
an answer, among the 50 or so newsletters and
articles on the website www.nigelbuxton.com.
You
might want to bookmark that URL so that it stays
with you (fish soup can hang around!); and so it is
there for those moments when you want to find a
new perspective.
A big thank you to all for your support and
encouragement.
On a last final note:
"Don't let who you are now get in the way of
who
you can be".
And remember to keep in focus - "what do I
really
want".
May the force be with you.
With love,
nigel
