Agreed in principle and proposed via email: “Suggest, initially, we arrange a set of three weekly sessions: client/peer mentor; peer mentor/client; joint review … ideally at a regular time, which could be an early evening, if that works better?

An intervening step might be for us to dialogue / fine-tune how we would each like to use the time and what outcomes we might individually be seeking ... and what the focus of our shared purpose might consequently be that reflects the strongest meeting point of our respective objectives?

So to open the conversation … and for starters … on my part, suggest we take it in turn to focus really sharply on our respective niche … on what we do best / and where that is likely to be most in demand / via which particular routes / and the issues that this raises? ... Then, perhaps, in the joint review, we could feedback and process … and possibly extend that into exploring potential relatednesses between our respective practices?

Over to you … and what would more closely reflect your interest and what you would like to come away with? And, of course, it doesn’t necessarily have to follow that we each use our individual time in the same way …”

Wanting to team up with others to facilitate the creation of local community enterprises … that harness the best of converging technologies … social and business networking … and the combination of virtual and face-to-face communication and activity …

Renewalsh Hi, Have read your thread with a degree of discomfort … as something of a workaholic myself … And obtaining more balance in my life and work purposefully and not obsessively is a key goal for me too … and can so resonate with some of your experiences.

For me doing is largely a defence against being.

And focus is a paradox as the focus of doing and being are diametric aspects of infinity.

Whilst the focus of doing is getting to the point … with absolute precision … is closing in on …. is distilling … and refining … and the point is a point in time.

The focus of being is quite the converse … Is opening … expansive … boundless … absorbing … endless and timeless! You have all the time in the (inner) world!

There is a very interesting point at which I believe these worlds meet … And It is where you can safely allow an idea to incubate … and be born all of it’s own accord … just sleep on it!

And can even appeal to the workaholic in us … as we can claim that we work in our sleep!

With very best wishes!
