This month, we took a Soul Break from Hosting. We often believe hosting only happens when we entertain. In truth, we host a lot. We host meetings and conversations. We take the lead in solving problems and we make sure others have what they need, both of which are forms of hosting.
Let’s give ourselves a break from having the weight of hosting on our shoulders. Let’s take a seat as a guest whenever we can. We can remind ourselves that we can be a guest by asking ourselves this question to start our day: “How can I be a guest today?”
You can be a guest:
by allowing a colleague the chance to host a meeting so her voice gets heard.
by giving another an opportunity to be in the spotlight so her talent receives recognition.
by receiving help and support.
Let’s sit back a bit to relax as a guest.
How will you be a guest today?
