Embrace change

Knowing our inner self- our mindset, preferences, talents, and beliefs is key to understanding our professional strengths and constraints. Without a keen sense of our “self-concept” (a mixture of self-understanding, self-esteem, beliefs, apprehensions, etc.) and our abilities, we struggle to effectively regulate our (im)pulses, which determine our “state of being”. This holds the key to why some people seem to succeed, while others don’t.

Individuals who succeed demonstrate a higher degree of self-mastery and remain calm when seeking opportunities or facing adversity. They are confident, reliable, consistent, and autonomous. On the other hand, losing self-control and letting emotional mindsets dominate or dictate actions in the face of adversity are typical derailing behaviours.

Both in our personal and professional lives, we are faced with ambiguous yet stimulating opportunities that require us to make choices. These choices are almost never clear or simple and often require a thorough analysis of risks. Given the major stakes associated with such situations, a clear and objective decision-making process is vital. It is essential to know and master our personal resources in order to function effectively and realize our potential sustainably.

Every decision we make is associated with trade-offs; some of which are more visible than others. We can help you think through the major decisions you need to make so that you remain aligned with your authentic self-concept.

Here are examples of the kinds of decisions we can help you make:

• “Should I accept that promotion?”;
• “Should I look for a change because of the ongoing transformation or potential merger?”;
• “What unique behavioral traits and capabilities do I possess that are my strong suits?”;
• “Should I study Medicine or Business Management?”;
• “Am I better suited to manage a farm or work as a teacher?”;
• “Should I choose the University of Montréal or the University of Toronto?
