The upside of sharing less...
Summary of what I’m saying in 250 words:
I’ve been by the river, reflecting for the first time in months. I hit a wall last November—burnout, anxiety, and eventually, just feeling fed up. By Christmas, I embraced the in-between time of Twixmas and decided to extend that unhurried mindset indefinitely.
I stepped back from social media, realizing that my constant posting of insights had become unsatisfying, even superficial. Instead of rushing to share every thought, I let ideas percolate, sometimes discussing them one-on-one, allowing them to develop more naturally.
This pause made me reconsider my work. Facilitation often feels transactional—organizations call me last minute to rescue a meeting, then I never hear from them again. I want deeper, longer-term relationships, where real conversations unfold rather than a rush to encapsulate insights prematurely.
I also see how the pressure to constantly produce and share thoughts drains energy. Holding ideas back has helped me feel more present and engaged. Instead of pushing to be heard, I’m focusing on meaningful interactions, resisting the urge to broadcast everything.
This shift is against the norm—where learning and development expect immediate, transformational results. But I’m interested in the deeper, slower work that doesn’t always yield instant satisfaction but leads to more authentic change.
If anything I’ve shared resonates, I’d love to have a real conversation about it. I’ll return to the camera at some point—but for now, I’m content staying in this unhurried space.
