Have you ever found yourself facing a challenge that seemed to weigh you down, hindering your ability to prioritise what truly matters? As leaders, we all encounter moments when our fears and concerns hold us back from creating the impact we desire. But here's the empowering truth: it is precisely within these testing times that we have the greatest opportunity to grow and become the extraordinary leaders we're destined to be.

 

From Chaos To Relief, Joy, and Happiness

 

Picture this: Last week, a new chapter unfolded in the story of my life as my divorce case reached new heights. A heavy cloud of fear and uncertainty filled the room. I couldn't help but see the reflection of those fears in my daughter's eyes. Yet, it was in that pivotal moment that I made a conscious decision — a decision that would change the course of my life and reveal an extraordinary inner strength, capable of transforming each challenge into a powerful catalyst for leadership.

 

As I stood amidst the chaos, I made a resolute choice—to support my daughter through her transition while continuing to serve my clients on a deeply personal level. And it meant re-calibrating my calendar. Right here. Right now.

 

The little inner voice saying, "You can't do that, Camilla. You can't let new clients down," was nowhere near me. I stood firm in my decision, knowing that the principle of making life easy was worth spreading.

Choosing To Make Life Easy

 

What if you embraced your personal challenges as stepping stones for growth?
How might this perspective reshape your journey as a leader?

 

 

And as I embraced the principle of making life easy, remarkable milestones rapidly unfolded before me:

 

  1. I transformed the Dream Job Accelerator Challenge into a rolling start date, offering free private coaching sessions until our vibrant community reaches the perfect threshold (now this opportunity is for you too. Reach out if you want a chat). 
  2. I seized the opportunity to open for one more private client this summer, helping an inspiring leader seeking a profound shift in their life and their career (reach out to me if you're ready to ignite that transformation).
  3. I now have time to prepare for the President's Summit in Copenhagen this week—an extraordinary gathering of inspiring individuals who are committed to making a real difference in the world. It's an event that truly lights up my soul. Let's meet for a chat, if you will be there as well!
  4. I noted down additional household activities to outsource to protect my energy, be present and make life easy.
  5. And most importantly, I have time to be present and support my daughter.

 

These outcomes would have taken me more effort to achieve, if at all in the capacity and to the same quality.

 

 

Client case

 

Feeling a surge of energy when I applied this principle, I shared it with relevant clients. And magic unfolded.

 

A pharma client executive was facing the challenge of motivating her sales team to perform better. Applying the principle to her own role as a sales executive, she effortlessly discovered impactful questions to ask her team. The result? She left our meeting feeling more authentic and at ease. And in the days that followed, she joyfully reported significant progress and successful conversations with her team.

 

 

Making Life Easy - A Simple Three-step Process

 

Here's the three-step process you can apply to recalibrate your priorities and make life easier when you need it:

 

Step 1: Identify Your Top Priorities

 

Take a moment to identify what truly matters to you right now. Reflect on your values, goals, and aspirations. This will help you gain clarity and focus on what deserves your attention and energy.

 

Step 2: Embrace Change and Challenge Your Inner Voice

 

When faced with resistance or fear of potential disappointments or losses, pause and ask yourself: What is genuinely most important? Challenge the inner voice that resists change and assess whether it aligns with your true priorities. Be willing to let go of nonessential commitments that hinder your progress.

 

Step 3: Expand Your Outsourcing Options

 

In addition to the tasks you currently outsource, explore opportunities to delegate even more. Consider which activities can be handled by others, freeing up your time and energy. By expanding your outsourcing options, you can streamline your workload, simplify your life, and focus on what truly matters.

 

 

Why You Want To Make Life Easy

 

When you dare to embrace life as easy, everything becomes easy. Imagine a world where every challenge becomes a testament to your extraordinary leadership. That's the runway you want to embark of if you like me want to make this world a better place to be.

From my heart to yours. Camilla
