The Blackberry!!
A typical issue that comes up again and again in sessions with my professional clients is how to manage the Blackberry when going on holiday. Most often it comes down to the question of: what does the need to reply to emails instantly really mean to you? Yes, lots of people do it, but also lots of people manage to switch off and focus on themselves, their family, or the people they're with.
Only this week, a client raised this question. It took him a few moments to realise that it his Blackberry makes him feel important and gives him a sense of value and self-worth. Yet he always comes back from holiday feeling that he hasn't really switched off. Surprise, surprise!
We set in motion a simple exercise for his forthcoming holiday. Every time he felt the urge to check his Blackberry, he was to first ask himself a question: what is more important - my job or my holiday? By increasing awareness in this way, he would be able to respond from choice rather than react by default.
The outcome is about learning to consider yourself important, about having a higher sense of self-worth and self-esteem.
All the best,
