Why It's O.K. to Let Go - And The Big Question To Ask Ourselves In The Process
Last week I practised letting go. BIG TIME. And it took me a LONG time to get to it. But before I tell you about that let me take a step back and start the story a tad earlier.
Being loyal - or letting go?
If I learned one thing during my childhood, it was loyalty. And as a woman to be the one who lives it, triggers it, makes sure it happens.
* Regardless of how bad the situation.
* Regardless of how much people crossed boundaries.
* Regardless of how tough a situation might be.
* Regardless of how useless things were.
Don't get me wrong: Loyalty is a great trait.
It helps in relationships - not dropping the person at the first sign of difficulty or non-alignment.
It helps in the career to fighting through issues and uncomfortable situations. And can result in more confidence in self and a more conscious career path.
It's environmentally friendly as it means holding on to things longer and not fall into the mindless consumption trap.

Hi, I'm Claudia and the founder of The Better Workplace and creator of the Personal Leadership eXperience 5.0 program. Having spent 30 years in leading positions in the IT business, and running my own company provided me with tons of knowledge, insight and learnings which I'm sharing with you on a weekly basis. Oh - and did I mention that I raised two kids on my own? That was probably when I learned most about humans - how we work, and where we screw up. What works, what doesn't work. What makes us happy, how to get those relationships working and how to get more energy. Still lots to learn and to find out - and you can be the first to learn what I learn - just subscribe to my weekly newsletter and you're in. Lots of love, Claudia
