Astrology

What’s your sign? No I am not using a cheesy pickup line from the eighties.

Just for fun I looked at what the annual prediction for my sign, Pisces, was for 2007. I felt quite good and even somewhat inspired, until I read that the other eleven signs of the zodiac. They were all predicted to have an equally good and empowering year. We know of course that this just can’t be true, this is likely the product of well wishing by some positive astrologists or their magazine and newspaper editors.

What people following astrology does indicate is that people need a beacon, something to believe in, something that will guide them. Many of us believe in some sort of Devine being, I am not trying to diminish any of these beliefs. Through my executive coaching and personal observations, I do believe that we all have it within us to be our leadership beacons. From time to time, we may become lost in a ‘fog’, we may need fog lights or light houses in the forms of mentors or coaches to help us find our way.

Putting It Into Action:
Revisit your mentor and coaches. Do you have one that you can talk to? Are they still relevant? Do you remain in contact with them?

With you along the path towards success,
Joseph
