We're all going on a summer holiday

Visiting a client's offices today I could tell that the summer was upon us by the fact of having a choice of parking spaces in their normally packed out car park.

It is lovely, isn't it, when things slow down, things sometimes even have to wait! Extraordinary. I trained as a Thinking Environment coach, in which the component of 'ease' is critical, so I revel in these moments to pause and reflect.

What is amazing is how generative ease can be. Feed of the need for urgency, to be seen to be busy, to be doing, our minds can allow new ideas to take root and begin to flourish. Bringing up new opportunities and approaches to the issues we face.

How can this time of relative ease be a period of renewal and fresh thinking for you rather than a stage that puts you back?
