I'm having some really interesting conversations with a wide variety of people about the affects of the recession. These sorts of conversations are unavoidable since I spend most of my day either coaching or facilitating entrepreneur/corporate workshops. There seems to be a real division between those that are seeing and experiencing huge possibilities and are feeling very 'up' and excited and those that are experiencing, directly, the hard and real effects of redundancy. I'm sure everyone knows someone that is going through this.
Personally, I think this recession is really shifting people's thoughts and mindsets. Many are scratching their heads thinking there has got to be more to life than this and all of a sudden things I have talked about for years - motivation, unconscious mind, law of attraction etc etc ... you know ...the 'pink, fluffy' stuff, is being taken seriously and given due attention, especially when it comes to the bigu picture ie purpose.
I feel privileged to be helping both entrepeneurs and corporate executives through these times, what a fantastic profession to be in.
