In late 2017, my current contract with my employer was coming up for completion. I had sold my medical business to a global company in late 2015 and part of my contract was to remain employed as a manager for 2 years. At the time it was a double edge sword. I was disappointed about being locked in as I had other business interests I wanted to pursue however I was grateful my new employers allowed me to negotiate my salary and I had secure income for two years. To gain the potential freedom I was envisaging, it was a small price to pay.
My role with this new business was to manage the operations within all the clinics nationally, inclusive of their staff. Now I had been managing staff close to 35 years and it would be fair to say I was over it. I had managed large numbers of staff and the majority of them were wonderful but the handful of them that gave me drama and defiance on a daily basis slowly chipped away. As my contract completion date drew closer, I started looking at the aspects of my current role that I enjoyed and discovered very quickly that I loved training and coaching staff which resonates more easily with me than disciplining. Even the difficult ones responded well to coaching but their “entitled” attitudes and lack of accountability let them down.
Now, this is where I convince YOU, if you visualise and feel where you want to be, the universe will bring it about. I have had proof of this all my life and I can honestly say, I have manifested most of the work-related roles I have done. Events and changes are always happening under the surface which may have to come in line so that what you are asking can manifest. It is all about timing.
Remember, initially I was disappointed with agreeing to the 2-year contract but here I am still employed by the same company 4 years later.
Here is how through a series of circumstances that were presented to me I created my new role.
I always set major and minor intentions at the commencement of the new year. I tend to only set one major to keep myself accountable and then add in several minor ones.

My intention in 2018 was to change my current role and move more towards what I preferred to be doing. I am on “linked in” and was prepared to change employers.
Unbeknown to me at this time, my current company was going through many internal restructures and we lost a few of our senior directors. Two relieving directors were put in place to oversee things until the restructuring was sorted. To my good fortune, they organised a meeting with myself to better understand the clinics I was managing. I had a very candid conversation with them and out of the blue, they asked me what aspects of my role I enjoyed? They put forward a few ideas on where they thought I could progress to which I politely declined and I re-emphasised the aspects I enjoyed and where I felt I could take that new role should it be created. We finished the meeting and I thought that was the end of it. There were no promises made or even a confirmation this may be an option. I continued to visualise myself in a training role and even started creating programs and collecting case studies I would use. At the very least, I could use them in my current operations role down the track. The restructuring proceeded and was now being introduced at my level in middle management. One of the relieving directors arranged another meeting with myself which I assumed was to advise me of where I lay in the restructuring plan. To my grateful surprise, they had broken down my operations role into individual regions and had created an education and training manager’s role which I accepted. I was also given the freedom to develop the role as long as it met the objectives. Again, through belief and acting as though it was going to happen I had created this new opportunity.
I also acknowledge that this opportunity is leading me to what I ultimately want to be doing with Elysium Soul and I am already learning new programs and systems that I will be able to utilise down the track. So, again here is proof that every opportunity that we take advantage of prepares us for future opportunities.
So, the lesson here is to pay attention to these little nudges that we receive, believe it can happen and be grateful
