Hi Reader. I grew up in a household that started with Earl Grey tea, ran on Earl Grey tea, and ended with it too.

Every morning, whoever woke up first would put the big black kettle on the gas stove, scoop the Harrods Earl Grey into our handmade African ceramic teapot, and lay out the tray, cups for everyone, the tea strainer, and a big tea cozy to keep it all warm.

If it was the weekend, we would carry that tray to our parents’ bedroom and lounge together, sipping tea and talking about nothing and everything before the day began.

That ritual wasn’t really about tea. It was about connection. It was about creating a container for our energy before we all went our separate ways.

The Container Matters

Here’s the thing: In life, leadership, and business, you are always pouring. And also, there is an infinite of resources around us.

You’re pouring energy, ideas, money, time, effort. But if your container is a strainer, everything leaks through. On the other hand, if the resources that are pouring through are not sustainable enough for us to thrive and flourish, then we are losing out.

Your resources, financial, emotional, creative - slip away. You are holding so tightly to “doing more,” and "being more" yet nothing is actually holding. You are leaking energy, people, revenue, vitality.

You don’t need more tea. You need a better container. Let's explore the following metaphors:

• Is there a cup to hold onto what is flowing in and coming through the strainer?
• Where more is needed, is there a container for the overflow? Is it a up, a teapot, an even bigger pot? Is the teapot and bigger pot aligned with your values?
• How are you preserving the essence of what you are receiving and what you have? (Tea cozy)
• How are you fueling the process of regular inflow? The stove, gas and lighter i.e. engine of your life, your leadership and or business.

What Does Your Container Look Like Right Now?

In your life:

Are your rituals, routines, and decisions supporting the person you say you want to become? Have you clearly Defined what growth looks like, i.e. that cup of tea in your hand; and Designed habits, i.e. the engine to sustain it?

In your leadership:

Are you cultivating psychologically safe spaces that allow people to flourish and perform, or are you reacting, firefighting, and leaking energy? What are your daily rituals as a leader that keep you grounded and intentional?

In your business:

Are your systems supportive, or are they letting resources, people, and profits leak through? Are you at strainer level, teacup level, or teapot level?

If your goals are teapot-sized but your systems are teacup-sized, no wonder it feels like you are running out of steam.
