2021. New Year. Not a do over. Ok to start anew, with optimism? YES!
Anyone else feel like I do - 2020 seemed long and fast at the same time? I will NOT go through the lessons learned, ups and downs, uncertainty, unprecedented times, extraordinary events of 2020; not because they are not important or can be forgotten or forsaken, but because I’d like to focus on moving forward, what’s NEXT and the FUTURE. The uncertain, the unknown and perhaps scarier outlook. After all, as 2020 blurs further away in our rearview mirror – that which has already happened, in the past, is “certain,” isn’t it?
Here’s my NEXT. I’m excited to be launching my executive consultancy business. Gritty Executive Consulting is bringing to life my decades-in-the-making Purpose. My vision is to give back to the world through this business and opportunity to empower leaders seeking transformational growth. . Whether you’re an entrepreneur, first-time CEO, investor or new VP – many of us share the desire and dream of becoming more and filling the shoes of our own potential and that of the people and companies we lead. As I hope you explore my website, where I’ve shared some of my stories and experiences, I look forward to digging into some discoveries in the months to come. It’s actually because of the path I’ve taken in my life and career that has led me to starting this endeavor.
I’ve learned that growth is a journey, like many things worth having and fighting for. It takes time, and comes with smiles that come from life’s successes and a few bruises from the “misses.” I can’t emphasize enough how these lessons feel so much better when they come from intentional, on-purpose actions. I’ve learned to understand the role “fear” has in my own growth and how you too, can channel fear into forces of good to grow from. And… I’ve experienced and proven how “grit” is something you can develop, craft and hone, like any other skill one sets out to master. GRIT carries you from step-to-step, loss-to-win, obstacle-to-milestone and concept-to-proof. In this, I discovered that I created and was living a Gritty lifestyle. Gritty is a way of being, thinking and living. Gritty is my way of giving back to others who are also seeking growth… in their businesses and lives.
Thank you for taking a peek today. I look forward to a 2021 filled with meaningful conversations, overcoming challenges and positive impact. I’ll be sharing stories that I believe will promote the Gritty lifestyle and your Growth through Revelations with Intentional Actions through Trust and Tenacity!
