Christelle,

Last week, we opened this new series with a simple idea:

What if your next step could feel less like pressure and more like an expedition - something you explore with curiosity, not urgency?

Today, I’d love to continue that journey by inviting you to look toward the horizon.

Not to plan. Not to commit.

Just to imagine what could be next for you.

Before we begin, here’s a small moment from my own recent “expedition”:

I’ve been wanting to expand my Coaching-Infused Conversations beyond my current circles, beyond Lean In and Ellevate Network, into new spaces where more people could experience this type of work. When I pictured myself reaching that point, I saw three people I’d be thanking at the end:

• a map-drawer: someone who helps shape powerful flows of conversation
• a guide: someone who reveals what’s hidden behind the norms
• a companion: someone who simply walks beside me, steady and encouraging

Just imagining that scene helped something click: I finally understood what I truly wanted and why it mattered!

That’s the kind of clarity today’s reflection is about.

🌄 A Coaching-Infused Reflection

What do you sense on the horizon, even if it’s still a little blurry?

I’m thinking of a client - a senior engineer - who had quietly been longing to grow into a leadership role. She didn’t tell anyone because the vision felt too vague and too vulnerable to articulate.

During one of our conversations, I invited her to imagine standing on a ridge along her own expedition trail.

Not at the summit.

Not at the finish line.

Just a place where she could look up from the day-to-day and ask:

“What do I want my life to feel like if I keep moving forward?”

She didn’t give a title or a job description.

She said:

“I want mornings where I feel purposeful, not reactive.”

That one sentence - that Spark - was all she needed to begin.

So today, I invite you to explore your own horizon:

✨ If your current challenge or goal were an expedition, what direction would feel worth walking toward?

You don’t need clarity.

You just need a glimpse - the feeling of something that matters.

🥾 What’s ONE small action you’ll take after this reflection?

Choose something tiny and doable - just one gesture that honors what you imagined.

Here are a few options you can borrow or adapt:

• Write down one word that captures the direction you want.
• Capture the feeling you want more of in a sentence.
• Record a voice memo describing what you saw on your “ridge.”
• Draw a simple symbol or image that represents your next horizon.

So, what’s the one action you will take today or tomorrow?

🌱 Let’s Keep the Momentum Going

If this reflection stirred something and you’d like to explore what comes next with support, I’d love to talk:
