The most important meeting you are not having

“Oh, I love this idea, set a calendar meeting with myself” - from chats with clients.

We organize our calendars so carefully to make sure we maximize the value of our time.

And yet we, ourselves, are often an afterthought on this calendar.

We consciously dedicate hours to working on our expertise, our career, our relationships, to make sure we are good, successful, caring humans.

We dedicate close to zero time to make sure the only person who can make any of that happen is taken care of.

When was the last time you set a date with yourself?

Not to catch up on admin or squeeze in a quick podcast, but to actually sit with your thoughts. Reflect. Reconnect. Listen. Adjust.

Your self-development outside your job won’t happen by accident. Just like career growth won’t happen without deliberate effort, neither will becoming wiser, healthier, stronger, more grounded.

We spend decades learning about the world through school.

We spend almost no time learning about ourselves.

And then we wonder why we feel stuck. Why we’ve been repeating the same patterns. Why clarity, confidence, and growth feel out of reach.

Your health, your values, your emotional depth, just like your strategy or skill set, it requires time, energy, and attention, deliberate work.

Many of my clients tell me this is one of the biggest shifts they make starting coaching - putting themselves on the calendar. Every week. No matter what. A sacred appointment to focus only on their own growth, on becoming the person capable of creating the life they want.

No email. No performance goals. Just space to think, feel, and grow.

So... when is your meeting with self?

Funny how we keep asking AI who we are, when all it might take is a recurring hour with the only one who truly knows you.
