Case Study 2

A co-owner of a family-owned business attended our Focus on the Year workshop.  She participated fully and scheduled the follow-up session that was part of the workshop.  At that session, she admitted that she really wanted to walk away from the business.  However, she was also concerned that she would let her family down. 

Rather than just abandoning the business, as she felt inclined to do, she agreed to work establishing her priorities and composing her thoughts.  She focused on what she wanted to run toward, rather than what she wanted to run from.  Then she scheduled a Focus workshop that included the other family members.

When she went through the process with the family, she was able to express, objectively, what was important to her and how she would be happier pursuing another career choice. 

Until then, nobody realized that she felt the way she did.  They understood and supported her choice.  Together, they were able to create a workable plan that transferred her responsibilities.

Ultimately, she left the business and moved into work that is more enjoyable and gives her more time to focus on what’s important to her.
