On Wednesday I sent out an Instagram poll asking how many of those in the LLTC community had experienced this: losing your temper with your loved ones, thanks to the pressure and stress of your work in Hospitality.
93% of the respondents said yes.
Of course, I could not cast my own vote. But if I could, I would have said yes too. I did lose my temper, not at a loved one, but at a potential customer who had an opinion about what baking trends I should follow.
But think about it: this is what a vast majority of people in Hospitality go through, owing to the nature of our work. We kind of accept this is a given, but we cannot underestimate how much it impacts us:
After the drama of every shift, we are left to pick up the pieces.
And that means being very conscious of how you handle your energy in every moment. Which is why I ask you in the video: what are you tolerating? What has got you to the point where you snapped at your loved ones or maybe someone on your team?
Yes, you need to set better boundaries between your work and your personal life, but you cannot successfully set and maintain those boundaries without deeper work. Which is why I offer coaching to Hospitality professionals.
The important thing we will uncover in our coaching sessions is what got you to that place of losing your temper. What could be different? What happens when you really take the time to review your responsibilities at work?
If you took the time to really work through this, then what would change in your life?
What would be the quality of your relationships with those dear to you?
If right now feels like the moment for you to work on this and improve your relationship with both your work and your loved ones, I invite you to book a call with me before Thursday, March 31st.
And from having worked with coaches myself, I can assure you that it is a whole lot easier than trying to figure it out all on your own.
Things can only get better.
(And definitely watch the video as this is an important concept for those of us in Hospitality!)
