"What do people need? Meaningful work. The sense that they are progressing and advancing. The belief that they are moving toward the fulfillment of their dreams." Matthew Kelly
Sometimes in our lives, we just get stuck. We either know we need to change something - our communication skills, our work habits, our decision-making skills, or may be faced with the ultimatum that if we do not, we will suffer a consequence - loss of a relationship, loss of a job, loss of one's freedom.
The question isn't always whether we do or don't, but HOW? Sometimes our options are limitless, creating a sense of being overwhelmed. Other times, our options are quite few. Fear of change may immobilize us or fear of a loss due to change may cause us to react impulsively, leading to undesirable outcomes.
Does this sound familiar to you? Are you ready to change, but are unsure on how to begin? If so, the first step is awareness. If you are aware of a need to change, then congratulations! You've already taken that first step, which is often the most challenging. If you are taking time to research your options, you are demonstrating a key to the second step: motivation.
What next? The coaching process is one possibility. It provides the opportunity to move individuals from where they are to where they'd like to be in relation to their goals and desired outcomes. The client acts as the director of their own progress. As their coach, I offer them support, guidance and act as an agent of accountability. Together, we'll determine where they are today and where they want to go. We'll identify the gap between the two and design a road map to get from their today to their desired tomorrow. We'll assess their strengths, resources and experiences, utilizing these assets as building blocks to achieve their definition of success.
So, are you ready for change? You've taken the first step. You've taken the second. Are you ready for more? If your answer is "yes", I'm ready to continue the journey along side you.
What are you waiting for? Why not take that next step. Call me today at 503-798-8933 and let's get moving!
