Having a daily rhythm to add structure to our lives is healthy and reassuring for us, even under usual life circumstances. Throw in the global upheaval that currently has most of us living without the routines that normally add structure to our life, and we find ourselves, now more than ever, needing to create those rhythms from scratch ourselves.
Succession Planning for Your Business
The COVID-19 outbreak has shown the importance of having a succession plan in place that accounts for unforeseen events. If your business does not already have one in place, there is no better time to do so than now!
Many small businesses are dependent on the owner, which means being capable of retirement or a career transition requires strategic forethought and action built into the structure of an organization. Having a strategy for developing people who can move up when key employees leave is critical to the long term success of a business.
Overwhelm in a time of crisis
If you feel overwhelmed by all of the unknowns right now, you are not alone. We are living through something we have not lived through before, which means all of us are wondering 'how long?' and 'what will the long-term repercussions be?'
When you get caught up in this sort of 'scary' thinking - pause. Stay focused in the present. You have what you need at this moment. You are grounded. Think of all the things you are grateful for. Breathe.
You may not know what the future holds, but you can look at other times in your life that you had to adapt and evolve and see that you are capable of doing that.
Be present and trust that you are adaptable.
Estate Planning: The Health Care Directive
In my three-part Estate Planning series with lawyer, Elizabeth Williamson of Williamson Law, we cover the Last Will and Testament, Power of Attorney and the Health Care Directive.
In this video, Elizabeth explains the purpose of a Health Care Directive (also known as a Living Will) and what to consider when preparing one.
Focusing on others
Shifting the focus off of ourselves and onto others can be really gratifying. Thinking about how we can support those around us, be it our loved ones or those within our community can be liberating as well.
We sometimes default to becoming the centre of our own universe - wrapped up in our own troubles. When we become involved with others, we become part of something that is greater than our individual self.
What are some ways you can step outside of yourself this week and offer a meaningful connection to others who may need it?

Seeing the Opportunity in Transitions
