I woke up this morning ready to begin moving on. I finally had a good nights sleep and was able to get lots of things done yesterday while accomplishing the feat of not thinking. Just doing. Yes, just the checklist please.
I’m posting late today because I had an early morning meeting that lasted until 2p today. It was a meeting I almost didn’t attend because I thought there wasn’t going to be anything of interest for me. Wrong.
It was a meeting of early stage startups pitching to a group of alumni in the Bay Area who live in the world of startups/funding. There are not usually women on the founding team, but one did. They’re not ready for prime time, but I decided this might be a good opportunity to get involved from a coaching perspective. There is soooooo much to learn in the beginning.
Earlier this week I cohosted an event in San Francisco for a university announcing the opening of a center focused on women in management. It was/is an important step in beginning the necessary dialog about the current issues women face in the workplace and then how to begin to address them.
Why am I mentioning these items in a cancer blog? Because I think this is an important step for me to begin re-entry and see myself as a contributing member of this world. It’s easy to disappear or fade away when you’re out of the loop for even a couple months.
Writing has become important to me because typing words somehow bring a sense of realness to my thoughts and actions.
I’m not fading away. In fact, maybe I’m becoming more relevant.
