START TO GET GREAT, NOT GET GREAT TO START
#SuperSundayNotes #empoweryouwithjen
"Leap onto the path to greatness by beginning now rather than waiting for greatness to come before taking action.”
Have you sometimes found yourself thinking about doing something one day but realizing that you can do it now?
Jen: What brings true fulfillment to your life?
Coachee: I can pursue a new career with more impact on people while still providing for my family.
Jen: Let's start by talking about your family. Could you elaborate?
Coachee: I would take my family to various places.
Jen: What would follow?
Coachee: Laughter, smiles, and shared memorable moments.
Jen: Their smiles and quality time together are what matter most.
Coachee: Exactly, creating great moments together.
Jen: It's crucial that they feel the significance of these shared moments, ideally in beautiful places.
Coachee: Indeed.
Jen: Are you actively spending quality time with your family?
Coachee: Honestly, not as much as I should.
Jen: Do you wish to put off creating memorable family experiences until someday in the future?
Coachee: No, I don't.
Jen: How do you plan to make it happen sooner rather than later?
Coachee: By starting now, prioritizing my family.
Jen: What concrete steps will you take to show that care?
Coachee: Scheduling regular talks, perhaps every two days...
Jen: What else can you do?
Coachee: Acknowledge their calls; currently, I often hang up...
Jen: What's your immediate plan?
Coachee: If I missed their call, text them.
Do you sometimes find yourself, like the Coachee, find yourself thinking about doing something one day but realizing that you can do it now?
This is a habit that he carries over into his work, delaying advancement until he feels sufficiently ready.
He understood the value of making little changes going forward after our conversation.
(Context: People who have thought about but have not yet taken action on long-standing goals will find particular value in this viewpoint. )
Happy Sunday and a great new week for all of us!
