Are you putting your game face on for work?  If so, have you considered what it costs you?

If you are creating a persona to fit in, don’t underestimate how much energy it requires.  Over time this starts to trickle into other areas of your life.  As one client put it, ‘by Friday night, I am running on fumes, and it takes the whole weekend to recover.’

For this client, only in his forties, he has already paid a high price.  Some of the effects of putting his game face on have included:

– Acute anxiety and depression
– Hypertension and a related health scare landed him in hospital for 5 days
– Remaining single despite a longing to be with someone special
– Chronic loneliness, having not had time to invest in his friendships

The hospital trip was his wake-up call.

If work is taking a disproportionately large place in your personal life, don’t wait until tomorrow.  

I know one man who worked hard for his family and barely saw them.  One day, he had a heart attack and died out of the blue.  He left behind a wife and four children.

From his family’s perspective, his laptop was the only thing to show for the weeks, weekends and years he had spent in the office.

I implore you to take action today.

I’d love to support you to regain the priorities in your life and take charge of your career.

Drop me a line, and let’s make a plan together.
