More lessons from MasterChef – Can you take the heat?

As the saying goes, “If you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen”. Once again MasterChef has served up some great life lessons. Last year I wrote about the great leadership, coaching and mentoring we can learn from MasterChef. Again Garry, George, Matt and the other guest chefs showed us how to excel in this area of leadership. On this occasion, I want to comment on ‘Resilience’ and dealing with setbacks and challenges, and how MasterChef gave us a window into how people handle stress and demanding situations. The time pressures and increasingly difficult tasks set for the contestants showed us how well they were able to manage themselves under pressure and produce the goods. You could often see the demands of a given situation getting to a number of the contestants. It was unrelenting at times.

Five reasons to Mind Your Emotions

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says ‘I’ll try again tomorrow’.” This quote more often than not reflects my life as an entrepreneur, business woman, sales person, mother, partner and friend. On those days and nights when I feel overwhelmed and sometimes exhausted by all my responsibilities and commitments that little voice reminding me to ‘try again tomorrow’ keeps me focused on why I am doing what I am doing – it helps me to continue to cultivate my resilience, to continue to put one foot in front of the other, to make decisions and to keep on moving. If I am ever in doubt, that little voice reminds me of all the other challenges I have mastered and that my track record speaks for itself.

Dust off Your Goals, Air Your Dreams
Recently I was going through some old boxes in my garage and came across one of my first courses that I did in psychology, which was the one that turned a corner in my life. As you can imagine that was a few (well ok many) years ago. As I sat on the floor with papers and bits all around me, I started reading what I had written about my dreams, hopes, worries and life at the time.

Beliefs

We find as we travel through life’s highways and byways that the unexpected usually happens, but through this we learn about ourselves and our own strengths, when life is good and calm we tend to take this for granted rather than thinking of it as part of the overall journey. We have a tendency to expect life to be good and when it is not, the question we ask ourselves is very often ”why me?” and the longer we dwell on it, the longer it seems to last. Learning to take the lessons out of life and believe that we are learning and growing as a person, helps to make these situations much easier to bear.

Reflections
