Why Juggling?
“A friend taught me to juggle many years ago,” says Bob Woodburn, “I instantly saw how it might apply to a group of executives I planned to work with the following week. "
“Over the years in my consulting practice, juggling has become an essential part of what I bring to groups. It gets people up on their feet having fun and learning a new skill. It’s also a terrific metaphor that applies to both work and life situations."
“As I teach people to juggle, I also get them to coach each other, to break through barriers and get results. This coaching exercise is a rich opportunity to be a beginner again, to coach others, to notice the voices that hold us back when learning something new, and to feel joy when we get it.”
Juggling helps:
- Ground us and calm our entire central nervous system.
- Lighten us up, which changes how we see challenges.
- Boost our confidence to learn new things and coach others.
- Make us playful and better at problem-solving.
- Focus us to zero in on priorities.
- Balance and energize a team.
