Cog to Gear

We are all cogs ……

it’s when we get into gear that things start to drive

Sometimes we have clear and exciting ideas, but  are not totally sure about how to take them forward.  Sometimes we face challenges, in our workplaces and in our other lives, with which we would like to make progress but are not finding this easy.

We  may feel we are just a cog and that it’s difficult to mesh with others and really get into gear. That can be frustrating and can affect our self-confidence, our ability to act effectively, and our feelings of purpose and self-worth.

Often challenges like this can be resolved by talking with our line manager or having a chat with a trusted colleague or with a confidante in our personal networks.

Sometimes though, it can be helpful to talk things through in confidence with someone completely unconnected with our work or social circle.

  • Someone with whom we can feel completely safe and who won’t judge us.
  • Someone who won’t consider our challenges as some form of weakness.
  • Someone who is trained to work with us in a structured way that builds on our own attributes, skills and potential.
