The G in GOALS = Gigantic<\/p>\n
How often have you been asked what you want and invited to really explore and share?\u00a0 Most people tell me they cannot remember that ever happening.\u00a0 A business, life, or executive coach asks, and continues to ask and probe, and listens so that you dig deep and consider what really matters to you, what you do want, and what it means to achieve your goals.<\/p>\n
In and of itself, taking the time to work through what you want is naturally empowering.\u00a0 When someone really listens and then asks follow-up questions in a space that is safe, the experience is amazing.<\/p>\n
For example, when asked, an individual might say, \u201cI want to earn enough money to live comfortably.\u201d\u00a0 If left alone, the goal remains undefined and the process for achieving the goal undetermined.\u00a0 Dig deeper: how much is enough?\u00a0 What is comfortably?\u00a0 What else do you want?\u00a0 What does it mean to achieve this?\u00a0 Describe the ideal outcome.\u00a0 Left alone with these questions it is challenging to really explore fully the answers.\u00a0 Working with a coach who is there for you and focused completely on you means digging deep and expanding your thinking.<\/p>\n
Play with the concept a bit now: With the spirit of a kid, what is your dream?\u00a0 On paper, write down the really goofy dreams and ideas first.\u00a0 Next, list your regular, solid, good dreams and plans.\u00a0 Then list great dreams and ideas.\u00a0 Reflect back on your list, and in each category prioritize what you think is most important.\u00a0 Now identify what you want the most.<\/p>\n
