[Journal] 12 June 26

Hey 🙂

For the past few months, I’ve been slowly building the agenda for a four-day off-site strategy session with my business partners.

What started as a simple agenda has turned into a mammoth strategy document — which has created it’s own challenge!

To get our heads in the right space before we get in the room together, I sent my partners a set of reflective questions — and I want to pick out one that I’ve thought about a lot over the years.

In what ways has the business and your work challenged you to grow professionally?

When you sit with it, it does two things at once. It helps you recognise what you’ve already stretched yourself to do — the things you said yes to without really knowing how, and figured out anyway. And it nudges you toward the harder question underneath it.

Which brings me to your prompts for this weekend.

In the last six months, how has your business challenged you to grow? What did you say yes to that really stretched you?

And the flip side — where are you staying comfortable? What are you holding onto that might be worth letting go of?

Sit with both. See what comes up.

Have a great weekend.
