How Your At-Home Habits Impact Your Professional Success
“I hate when you do laundry because you do it super sh*tty.”
My client’s wife said this to him.
This light-hearted moment revealed something profound about his overall approach to life and work.
The 'Aha' Exercise: I challenged him to ask his wife for a list of what she needed from him.
This wasn’t just about socks and shirts.
The exercise brought to light 3 key areas where his home habits were spilling into his work life:
🧘🏼♀️Being fully present: Being in the moment, fully engaged, listening and understanding without distraction, not just at home, but with his team.
🙏🏼 Random gestures of gratitude: Showing appreciation in small, unexpected ways.
🤹🏼Commitment fulfillment: Fully committing to tasks, finishing them from start to finish.
How are you showing up in different areas of your life?
Whether it's a:
-conflict with a coworker
-distance with a child
-feeling disconnected from your spouse
-avoiding tough conversations at work
…it all boils down to how we engage in our daily activities.
Balance and consistency are key.
It’s not about being perfect but about being aware.
And striving to do better.
Take a moment to evaluate your habits.
Are they helping you thrive both at home and in the office?
