To all our highly valued clients and acquaintances:
I’ve asked several people in recent weeks what do they see that they need to do to finish 2024 as strong as possible, in what seems to be a whirlwind of potentially changing variables, personally, nationally and even beyond?
Most people I talk to and listen to say that, at this point, as they plan for 2025 and beyond, that how some of these bigger picture dynamics are going to turn out is anybody’s guess. The need for our ability to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances/conditions seems to be at an all-time high.
To slightly paraphrase the quote above, no matter which way the winds blow, it’s how we tack our sails that counts. That’s what makes a difference.
I like the definition of attitude as “patterns of thought” that govern behavior.
It is basically a choice. It’s the classic idea that, “It’s not what happens to us, but how we respond to it that counts.” As Stephen R. Covey put it, “Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions.” Responsibility—response-ability—suggests that you can choose your response. No matter what you are experiencing, you can choose a new direction – how to act, how to react, how others will affect you. These choices are not made only once but every moment of every day. Like artisans, they mold and sculpt your experiences and actions in the moment and ultimately your life.
I used to joke that Rocky Road Ice Cream was our family’s favorite flavor, since it seemed to be an accurate metaphor for living in the face of reality.
In this month’s brief video, I spoke of Creating Championship Teams.
I would add to that, given the recent Summer Olympics, championship mindsets, mentor/coach relationships and collaborative partnerships.
I personally started mapping out an Aspirational Outcomes List for 2025.
We can all be looking ahead to 2025 with such an aspirational list that will eventually get formulated into goals, with an initial focus on the 1st Quarter, to get our year off to a strong animated start with lots of energy/momentum.
I encourage you to do the same or better, to further fuel future vision/goals.
I have attached a set of guidelines to that end. Reflection and Planning Suggestions in prep for your Best Ever Next 12 Months Heading Into 2025.
I have a question for you, given we recently completed a big project.
If I had the privilege of serving you as the coach of your dreams, which may lead to an upward spiral of growth, prosperity, freedom, and fulfillment with grace and ease, what would I most need to understand about you, your values, vision and commitments? How can I be a trusted resource for you?
Is that a possibility worth exploring and one that you may consider?
As we move quickly into September and get into “back to school, back to work” mode, many of you are planning for new initiatives to crescendo your 2024 and prepare to have new momentum for 2025. Is this the right time for you to plan your future growth with a coach? We’re all trying to make sense of the changes that have occurred in the workplace and in the world.
Working with a coach can be a great way to accelerate your achievements.
- Set inspired goals designed to reach your most important objectives.
- Create highly effective strategies to optimize team performance.
- Improve abilities to lead with enhanced communications skills.
- Stop tolerating unwanted negatives as you fulfill your values.
- Make better decisions for your relationships and business.
Thinking of working with a Trusted Business Development Coach?
I am often asked “Can you help me grow my business?” My typical response is “What for you constitutes a great life and a life well lived?
Then I “seek first to understand and listen”. Based on that, let’s talk about how we can help you organize your business to serve living your dreams.”
I invite you to have an exploratory conversation – whether we get to work together or not, you will have a fresh ear to help you consider what might be possible and within reach for you/the people you most care about most.
