Little wins

I always ask my clients for a small win. Something that’s gone well recently. That usually draws the blank stare, as you’d expect.

Asking someone that who’s just lost their job after, 4, 14, 24 years doesn’t see a winner when they look in the mirror.

Doesn’t matter why the job ended, if they hated it, or they’re at least a little glad it’s over.

It’s still a loss, and a big one.

So I ask them for a win, something they’d otherwise think of as insignificant, but here, where they are, it’s a step up the mountain.

Somewhere, at the end of all the steps, there’s a summit. Another view. Vistas you cannot yet imagine.
