To quote Dale Carnegie: “if you are not getting better you are effectively getting worse”.
So why is it that the desire for change and the actual actions and behaviours don’t always align? What gets in the way? Your motivators play an important role, which are often linked to your core beliefs. Understanding what your underlying need for change is at an emotional level along with your sense of purpose will help you set the right goals.
Setting effective goals is a way of ensuring you focus on the right things, take action within a defined time frame and ultimately reach the outcomes you desire. People who set goals are more likely to bring about changes in their lives than those who don’t. A coach can help you identify your motivators, work with you on your emotional connection, assist with setting the right goals, keep you focussed on the actions needed and support you as an accountability partner.
I will set 1 × personal goal and 1 × professional goal for each ¼ of 2016 and complete each of these within 90 days.
Actions:
- Write down my New Year’s resolutions
- Prioritise my list into Vital, Important, Maybe and select the vital ones for the 1st 90 days
- Schedule time in my calendar to write SMART goals this Saturday …
