Is this a pivot, a pirouette, or just Mandi being Mandi? 💃
If you’ve noticed a little more leadership and a little less wellness in my posts lately, you might be wondering…
“What’s she doing now?”
Fair question. Sometimes I’m curious to see what I’ll do next, too. 😂
Apparently, careers have ladders. Mine seems to have gates, paddocks and the occasional roundabout.
Farming, community projects, boardrooms, mentoring, writing and wellbeing. Each chapter has given me something useful to take into the next—and plenty of reasons to question what I thought I knew.
Lately, my curiosity has brought me back to leadership, with a few more questions in my kitbag.
What happens when we’re willing to be curious instead of certain?
Can we recognise when the way we’ve always done things needs a rethink?
And how well are we looking after ourselves while we’re busy being the person everyone else relies on?
My years in wellbeing have added another dimension to how I see leadership. I’m interested in the whole person who turns up to make the decisions, navigate the tricky conversations and carry the responsibility.
Including whether she’s had lunch. 😉
So you’ll see me exploring more of that here: leadership, curiosity, change and keeping ourselves well enough to enjoy the journey.
Same Mandi. Plenty of questions. Boots on for the next paddock , a new path?
Has your career followed a ladder—or taken you through a few unexpected paths?
