Whycation to Youcation; From Another Level to Gravity
While listening to morning news podcasts, I’m bombarded with advertisements about how to capitalize on the transformation AI is bringing to businesses: reducing costs, elevating customer and entertainment experiences, making 3D mainstream, promising leverage to grow.
I shiver a little. I am no longer walking those endless corridors or joining meetings where I was already thinking about the next one unpresent in the moment, and unpresent in myself.
I had another glimpse into the state of today during a sustainability communications training I recently attended. Suddenly our group found ourselves in a shared room, tasked with solving a problem together to be presented in 15 minutes.
I was the only one with my video on, introducing myself and asking for input.
Silence.
I suggested an approach. One voice, calling from a car, said: “Great, and sorry, I’m barely able to participate.”
I solved the issue, shared it with the group who remained quiet, busy with other tasks or unable to face others, and then presented it to the full class.
Today, I am in a privileged position: I choose where to be present.
Not necessarily financially, but mentally and emotionally.
We are expected to grow businesses, utilise the newest tools, and take experiences to “the next level.” But with all these loops, hurdles, and levels, we begin to lose our ground spinning like whirling dervishes.
Presently in Bangkok, between executive speeches about growth and market insights, we heard the Tourism Authority of Thailand share how, in just one year, they shifted from cultural experiences and parties to a new theme:
“Luxury of Healing.”
Soundless nature escapes, singing bowls, natural spas, stories, and sustainability.
Again I was reminded of the balance we all need.
There is a gravity pulling us back: a craving for nature, for simple ways, for nostalgia.
When transforming and growing businesses, we should not lose the most important factor:
ourselves.
Companies and people should invest first in wellbeing, inner connection, and personal growth.
Machines still need humans to learn from: people who can think for themselves and for others, after first taking a deep breath for themselves.
Whycation to Youcation
There are deeper reasons we travel.
Why means more than where.
You mean more than anything.
I walk alongside you, observing and listening. I offer my ear so you can shape the solution you already carry within you, once you start listening in.
You might be amazed by how much you have inside when you lend yourself an ear and quiet the noise.
It may be Thailand, Finland, or another land entirely that wakes something in you, but you are the one who takes the learning home and integrates it into daily life.
My gentle solution is simple:
listen to yourself when you step intentionally into nature, wherever you are. Pay intuitive attention and begin to notice what your inner self is whispering together with a trusted coach, next to you or online, present.
Take a leap, and allow yourself to land for a moment.
You will be happy you did.
