cover story WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING NOW AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? How to celebrate big wins in business not just sport. That is important to me, especially for all women. When I plan my weely schedule, I plan for the recovery first. Often women don’t create the space they need for rest, recuperation and recovery. It could be a walk on the beach, a movie or a lunch date. That needs to be scheduled in first before kid time or anything else, nothing can stop it! You need the recovery time and that will build resilience. If you have a goal, you should plan the after party or the celebration first. Let your motivation to celebrate keep you focused. Even if you don’t win, you still celebrate. Otherwise you aren’t inspired or motivated to do the next one. Choose or map out an adventure or a holiday with your partner even just blissful day spa or a simple meal. Have it booked, otherwise you wont do it. “In business you have your team, your family, your clients; you determine which circle of influence you want to bring to the celebration.” CONTACT nataliecook.com Women’s Network Magazine 13
