Flourishing

    We all aspire to achieve – to deliver results – but focusing on those goals may be counterproductive. Think of a tree in an orchard. How do we ensure a bountiful crop of sumptuous fruits? The secret is to create an enabling environment for the tree to flourish: fertile soils, regular water, protection from diseases, shelter from the elements and enough sunshine. If we have goals, whether personal or professional, think about what the enabling conditions could be. What will allow them to emerge naturally and healthily? Growing a tree is about taking care of what it needs in the moment.
