If you don’t challenge yourself you will get (yourself) left behind. So what is one new thing you’d like to learn or change or keep or add up about, ecc… in the forthcoming year?
How are you planning for the year ahead? Have you already done it or the Maya have stopped you?
You are part of a Family and Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. But, before not forgetting anyone, the first one to remind oneself, it must be you! Brilliant post today by Robert Gerrish… and brilliant exercise to do!
For me, one of the many joys of going it alone is not having anyone looking over my shoulder. And I’ve been flying solo long enough to know therein lies a problem.
We need a bit of over-the-shoulder peering every now and then to help keep our performance up to scratch, even if it comes from our own perspective. In my solo coaching business, I hold people accountable for their actions, which helps them to become keen self-assessors.
For the next 15 minutes, please allow me to be your coach.
What follows are five questions to help you construct a mini end-of-year report. Give it a go and see how you fare:
With a maximum score of 10, rate your:
1. How have things run for you this year?
- Satisfaction with the strength of client relationships
- Happiness with the flow of ideal clients
- Skill at communicating with others
- Capacity to handle pressure and overwhelm
- Ability to stay focused on priorities
2. What have been your emotive milestones?
- What are you happiest about?
- What are you most excited about?
- What are you proudest of?
3. What areas need improvement?
List five aspects of your work that you’d like to bolster in the year ahead.
4. Aren’t we forgetting something?
Now do the same for your life. (Didn’t see that coming, did you?)
5. Who would benefit from reading your report?
Take a moment to consider who deserves to hear about how your year has gone and tee up a time to talk it over. It’s called sharing, and it’s that time of year!
I’ll post my answers to the second question in the comments. Why not do the same?
