Whenever I help my clients make plans for their business, I always ask them how these plans feel for them. Are they sustainable? Are they doable alongside other needs, desires and responsibilities—next to their non-negotiables?

In other words, do these plans and the business as you’re running it, allow you to be human?

What being human means for you might be different from what it means to me. Allowing yourself to be human might look like making time for your weekly swimming class. It might be setting a timer so you get up more regularly from your desk. Or to take a nap before the kids come home. It might be satisfying your need for creativity, whether within or outside your business. For many of us, allowing space for our humanness has to do with taking space and time for ourselves—to rest, to move, to read, to be.

In general, our humanness is the thing that traditional business advice tends to ignore. Or even explicitly repress, when we’re advised to hustle, to push through, the keep going.

The workshop

I made a 20-minute workshop in which I walk you through making more space for yourself and your humanness in your business. I’ll help you identify signs that you’ve lost sight of your needs, and we’ll make a plan to make smaller and bigger changes to truly allow yourself to be human.

The workshop is filled with supportive questions and examples, and a workbook where you go deeper.

At the end of this workshop, you will have recognised the parts of your business where you are not making space for yourself, and have made a plan to change that.
