Have you ever found yourself drawn to a colour all of a sudden that even the day before you were kind of ambivalent about? Seems turquoise has entered my life! I feel alive when I wear the colour, it seems to jump out at me as people pass by in various hues and shades, I even bought myself a turquoise ring and some new earrings. I can’t seem to get enough of it right now and I notice it everywhere. I used to notice the colour green- the soft sage colour of green and loved it. Now I don’t notice.
What is it that triggers us to notice things we have seen and been around for a long time? What makes them pop into our lives, as if to say "notice me!". I find that sometimes this happens with people too. All of a sudden a person’s name or face I had not thought of for years pops in and reminds me of other connections, of lost space and time. Much changes in the time gone by, but the memory seems to have held its focus.
As leaders we live in a variety of different environments. What can you do to trigger new observations of your relationships? What might make the space between you pop, crackle, sizzle or become noticeable? What is your turquiose today?
