It’s funny how things work out. You have an idea in your head, you’ve ruminated on it for some time, and eventually you pull the pin and make it happen. Then, for various reasons, momentum is lost, leaving you wondering what to do next.
I started Think Can Will as I wanted to share lessons from my leadership experience to help people in their work by encouraging them to believe in themselves more, to help them grow as individuals, to learn tips and tricks they can implement in their daily lives, and ultimately, achieve their potential.
I’ve been doing it professionally for some time, and, if I may so, I’m quite good at it.
But…
Then I realised, I’m not just Steve, the operational leader, coach, mentor, and all the other things listed on my CV. I’m more than that. I’m Steve, the man, the human being. I’ve experienced the highs and lows life has to offer and actually, on top of my work, I’ve got a lot of life experience which may be useful for others. Anyway, why would I want to limit myself and my small section of the internet to be so one-sided, just talking about work? I’m more than that!
You see, I like to help people. I like to be of service, and I found that trying to limit myself to just professional updates, was actually very limiting for me.
On top of this I know a lot of people today are struggling with so many different facets of life. If by opening myself up to talk about, well, pretty much anything, then if anything I write is of use to someone, at some time, in some way, that’s a satisfactory result for me.
I don’t know exactly what is going to flow… but, from now on, I’m thinking that Think Can Will will be a bit of an outlet for me and will cover whatever it is that I feel I need or want to share, professional or personal.
Sure, I can and will still talk about work and careers, but this shift means I can also talk about other things life chucks at us, like, bereavement, illness, poor mental health, poor physical health, relationships, and more. Plus, sometimes I may just want to comment on the World, have my say on something, or maybe just share something random I’ve created.
Life is busy, working, studying, and having a life, but from now on, Think Can Will is open for broader content, by bringing my whole self, I’m hoping it’ll make it easier to post more regularly.
We’ll see how it goes!
