WHO AM I NOW?
A CASE STUDY EXCERPT FROM GOOD BYE:
We worked with a very successful Sales Director, Björn, whose Long-Term Incentive Plan was secured, he and his children wanting for nothing. What a fortunate place to be in you would think. He was in his early 50s, and wanted to carry on being purposeful, productive and doing what he did best. He was deeply troubled by needing to redirect this energy and dive into the unknown. He realized that his sense of his own value was entirely caught up in the identity and success of the organization, and that ‘value’ was making money for the organization, and making money for himself and his family. Aft er six months of exploration with us, Björn had a useful way forward.
He started a consultancy to keep feeding his need to work, became a Trustee of a local charity and became an assistant coach for his daughter’s football team (for which he had no qualification, and therefore went on a steep learning curve of not being in charge!) What was coming to an end was the sense of his identity that was wrapped up in work, his need to be in charge and his drive for money. What began was a refreshing new chapter where he learnt new skills, and humility; he redirected the huge amount of energy and vigour he latterly used to ‘hitting his targets’ into something different.
