We’re hearing the phrase “new normal” a lot this week.
That’s a funny one, isn’t it? I’ve never been much of a fan of normal… but this week, I get it. We want something to grab onto, something we can understand. When so much feels shaky, we crave certainty and direction.
Greg McKeown, in Essentialism, puts it beautifully:
“You cannot overestimate the unimportance of practically everything.”
This has never felt truer. Most things don’t matter. But the things that do matter right now… they really matter.
In yesterday’s webinar, we talked about agency – how to own and embrace the choices we do have. For me, that’s meant getting very clear on what matters most in my work, and where I can best serve others. I’ve set a priority list that defines our “new normal” at Alicia McKay NZ for the next six weeks.
What would yours look like? How do you decide what matters most, and keep your focus there?
Over the next six weeks, I’ll be running a weekly conversation space every Monday afternoon, to talk about grappling with strategy and change in a time of unprecedented disruption.
This week, we’ll focus on how to cut through the noise and get clear on what really matters.
I’d love you to join us.
