Is this you?
It probably has something to do with the pressure that goes with working in Hospitality, but for many of us, that feeling marks a turning point in our careers.
For me it happened when I snapped at someone for expressing their viewpoint. Others attest to losing their temper with family and those closest to them. And for some it is directing inner frustration at colleagues or customers.
Whatever the case might have been for you, you recognise that you can no longer continue this way. Even if this is the model our industry has lived by.
Yes, you might have quickly made amends with the people you have hurt. You might have been taken by surprise by the strength of the negative emotions that caused the outburst. But you know deep down that this is in no way healthy for your body, mind, relationships or career.
What you need is some healthy detachment from your work. This does not have to mean walking away for it. Yes, a break helps, but you need something more sustainable. Something that you can use no matter what comes your way at work.
Your inner calm, inner strength, inner reserve – whatever you want to call it – is always there for you to draw upon. Even during a crazy busy shift. Or a busy day off, when you are catching up on your life outside work.
Both parts exist inside of you – the part that you do not like yourself becoming, and the part that responds to people and events from that place of inner strength. I support my coaching clients in accessing their inner strength more easily, even through the noise and the chaos of a typical shift in Hospitality.
And I can do the same for you. Get in touch, let’s book a call and see how we can work together.
