The Power of Focusing on What Matters: Journey Through Change

Whether it’s the changing seasons, a room makeover, or a personal transformation, reinvention holds universal appeal. We’re drawn to stories of change because they reveal not just the “what,” but the “why” and “how.” Recently, I had the privilege of helping a client navigate significant workplace changes. While change can be invigorating—like a home renovation or the crisp transition to fall—it can also feel overwhelming when it’s unexpected or beyond our control.

This client faced unanticipated leadership changes and shifting priorities that upended their sense of stability. Initially, they felt powerless, overwhelmed by external factors they couldn’t influence. Coaching became the foundation for focusing on what mattered most. We honed in on their internal locus of control: aligning priorities, building resilience, and taking small, intentional steps to lead their team through uncertainty.

Like the best transformations, this shift started with a clear vision and purposeful action. By reframing challenges as opportunities, the client inspired their team to stay connected, collaborative, and aligned with shared goals.

As we prepare for seasons of change, focusing on what we can control makes all the difference. If you’re ready to transform how you lead through change, let’s connect—I’d love to share how coaching can support your journey.
