Want to be a Zen CEO?
Zen CEO was the picture he had in his mind and he had all sorts of ideas of how to get there.
Systems for finding calm,
Rituals that if he could only consistently implement he would find that inner stillness to become the Zen CEO.
The problem as I saw it was an incredibly common one so I thought I would share it so that you might benefit too.
He was looking outwards for an ADDITIVE solution.
This might sound like semantics but think about it like this.
Imagine looking outside of the ikea box for the tools and accessories to build what was inside the box.
That would be a fruitless and maddening search no?
Adding exercise, adding sleep aids, adding meditation, adding journaling.
Don’t get me wrong, these tools can be incredible accessories but when they require MOTIVATION, RESISTANCE and WILLPOWER that doesn’t seem to be there you are fighting a losing battle.
You have to organise and build what’s in the box first.
Stillness is something that already exists inside us. We just have to REMOVE all of those things that are preventing us from accessing it.
The same is true of exercise and sleep they are a side effect of body and mind being in alignment.
We set about removing overwhelm, guilt, frustration, we build operating systems that would allow the business overview he was so lacking and the stillness grew day by day.
Now from leadership to investment rounds to the constant desire for his time to fire fighting in the business he operates from a place of calm and stillness that grows each day with meditation, exercise, and quality sleep.
If this sounds like something you need in your life PM Yes. A have a couple of spaces for the right candidate.
