Although I am happy for my young adult to embark on this exciting chapter, I can’t help the flurry of emotions I’m experiencing.

Change isn’t easy whether it’s giving your teen the freedom to fly, going back to the office and networking in-person, or preparing for the unknown this fall/winter amid a Covid resurgence.

Recognize that whatever feelings you have right now are real and you are entitled to them, so feel them – in the coaching world we call this processing your emotions – a step we need to experience to move past them. 
This will also help you demonstrate empathy for members of your team who may be going through their own emotional moments. There’s a lot happening – be kind to yourself and others. With a little grace we’ll all get through it.

And if anyone wants to meet me for coffee or dinner this fall – when I’m missing my son – reach out!
