In times of crisis and change is when one is usually more disoriented because everything and everyone around you seem to be in the same state. When the waters are rough it is when it is more difficult to know which way to go to get where you want. It is a reality that we are in a new economic order that is shaking both people and companies, where it is imperative to get the best version of yourself to come out and stand out.
It is a proven fact: self-employed, small and medium-sized companies form the basis of the economy in any country. His effort, his capacity for sacrifice, his potential, his illusions embodied in business projects that, let us not forget, are also life projects, cannot go unnoticed by the governments in office. And, along with them, the workers who provide their services in these companies.
It is convenient not to lose perspective, not to lose ourselves in concepts that have been used so much and have lost their purest original meaning.
Let's call things by their names: the economy is made by people, society is made by people, it's that simple.
This is an article about the world of the company and therefore about the people who form and work for the company.
We are witnessing a paradigm shift, a breakdown of concepts in the form and substance of what we call economics and the elements that influence or are part of that concept.
But also our society, our way of life is changing.
Again the magic word: "Change".
Regardless of the actions taken by governments and political leaders in each country, there is a key question:
What can we do about this new situation?
What degree of responsibility corresponds to us to face the problems and obstacles that prevent us from achieving our personal, professional or business vision?
We all have a potential, to a greater or lesser extent, but few reach the limit of that potential.
Undoubtedly we are all responsible for directing and governing our lives, but on many occasions, especially in our working life, the lack of information and guidance lead us to develop a professional career well below our Talent.
Talking about Talent
A factor implied in the previous fact and unknown by the majority is the ignorance of our potential and our responsibility in the success and failure of our career.
This situation is even more serious when we are businessmen, managers and we also develop a project until it exceeds our capabilities, by staying in an obsolete "way of doing" and "not knowing" or "not wanting" to choose the path of change and we end up being a drag on our own progress and that of our company.
The main causes of not adequately developing our full potential are, among others:
- Lack of knowledge, talent and skills Commands that do not provide development opportunities or guidance Take up positions or positions for which we are not yet ready Lack of reflection, planning of our professional career and a strategy aimed at achieving of each of the objectives that bring us closer to our Vision, "what we want to be".
We could list some more, but how important is that figure that helps us to know ourselves, provides us with self-learning tools and makes us reflect on who we are, where we want to go, how we should do it and what we need to get there.
There are tools
It is true that today there are many tools that can help us get where we need to go. Some more technical than others, others more or less directive, and even computer programs. All of this has its value, but there are very few tools that help us enhance and adapt our talent and our own resources, transform our limiting beliefs to take the great leap and move like fish in water in times of change and crisis.
The coaching methodology is one of the tools and resources that bring out the best in you. Through what one already has in a practical and methodical way, coaching helps you transform your reality as you move towards your goals.
Coaching is the closest and most effective accompaniment to draw up a well-defined plan that allows you to take the most productive actions at the time that is most suitable for you.
The answer is simple but effective
The magic of having a non-directive accompaniment is that you are the architect of all transformation. Coaching is your ally that helps you have a clearer perspective to locate and maximize everything you have within your reach to achieve your goals at all times but particularly in times of crisis and change.
If your team, your company or you are in a moment of transition or change, or are simply immersed in the consequences of the time we are living, I invite you to discover what else coaching can do for you in times of change and crisis.
