Fear is a very powerful emotion. When we live in fear, even of the unknown, there is a tendency to isolate, exert control and be on the defensive. It drains our energy and creates exhaustion.

The majority of coaching conversations I am having these days are about this fear generated by a struggling economy.

Key Tip #2 Define And Honor Your Genius Work
In Ernest Oriente and Judy Feld’s book Smart Match Alliances, they describe genius work as “Genius work is the highest and best use of your time. When you do your genius work- the activities that produce the greatest results in the shortest period of time for you – the struggle ends….fast.”
What is your genius work? What is the work you do that suspends time and delivers the greatest results? Define it, honor it and spend the majority of your day doing it.
Tip From The Coach:
To define your genius work answer the following question: What three areas of focus and corresponding activities that would constitute the best and most valuable use of my time today? (Note: For additional information on Genius Work and the Smart Match Alliance system send me an e-mail with “genius work” in the subject line.)
Key Tip #3 This Too Shall Pass
Because there is no crystal ball, we cannot predict when this economy will take a positive, sustained turn. However, history proves that it will turn. It has always done so; there is no reason to think it will not do so again.
Tip form The Coach:
History also shows that YOU have been through challenging times in the past and moved through those times as well. Perhaps it has not been the economy but other life events. Identify for yourself what life challenges you have faced in the past and how you have navigated the uncertainty. That should give you clues as to your ability to face this current challenge AND specific things you could do to make the process less painful.
