Presence – the key to balance and well-being
Many professionals and leaders face a lot off stress and responsibility these days. Regularly they are ‘Out of balance’. But what is balance? Is that a steady position, being in balance? And what is happiness? Feeling well, or is it about being present, being awake with whatever arises? If we start to experience and investigate this, freedom and life-balance appear to be within our reach, if we just start where we are and be who we are. Often we are so busy trying to fight or reach for things in work and life. We let ourselves go in all kinds of distractions that we forget to be where and who we really are. And balance in life and work starts here and now. Whether we are responsible for leading others or ourselves, whether we coach, consult or manage: presence is the key position which holds the past, the present and the future.
