Do you find yourself feeling blocked at times with seemingly no way forward? Or perhaps you find you are repeating old patterns that you didn’t realize were keeping you in neutral? Recently, like some of my clients, I found myself stuck in how I was seeing my business situation…. I couldn’t see anything but a block to what I wanted. Then, as I started becoming curious, working the issue from different perspectives, I realized, “Wow, I am not stuck, my thinking is stuck!” That was the insight I needed to start to think differently, attack the problem from a new perspective. The result? I now am energized, focused, and making changes that will get me to the outcome I want.
For most of my clients, the hardest part of goal setting and realization is continually bringing energy and focus to their goals throughout the course of the year. While many people begin each new year with reflections and purposeful intentions, at some point, additional motivation will be needed. By nature, a habit is a settled routine and it is hard work to depart from practices we have used for years. In working with leaders, I find that we all need something that serves as a reminder of who we are becoming, because it can generate the juice to help us fulfill our purpose.
