Helping You Lead with Perspective
How to become Successful at Life and be your Own Success Story!
Wednesday 5th June 2019
Many people who attend a coaching or mentoring session sometimes feel as if they are at a loss to a degree on how to utilise or acquire a skill, what relationships they need to develop using specific techniques, building more confidence. What is interesting is success means something different to everyone who walks through our doors. So, what do you need to change and what is your WHY?
We are groomed by society to look at money that generates successful business people, bloggers, athletes, singers, artists and such like assuming we have to have reach a level of success that resembles success in the commercial sense. This can put a lot of pressure on you and also impact your mental health when comparing yourself, which many a time, can really feel overwhelming. That overwhelming feeling can do two things send you into overdrive where you start doing many things which are not fruitful. Or you can shut down as its simply too much. Either way, both responses, when you are working on the being the CEO of your life, are actually normal! However, what our coaching does is offer you a safe holding space to define success in your own terms and at your own pace. Clients have highlighted that they want to get fitter, therefore, the success programme that emerges from the session could include ‘waking up earlier and exercising twice a week’. Or, ‘remove chocolate this month from their diet, and then removing something else next month, and by the end of the year a range of unhealthy foods have been replaced with better choices.’
Success is important, not to the coach, but to the person being coached and this is one of the main motivating factors in coaching, allowing you to drive the sessions with our support. If you are wanting to make changes to some aspect of your life, be it personal or career focused, these 10 success factors can support you to move into a life of success;
- Decide you want to change.
- Write down two words down; Good and Bad at the top of the page and separate with a line down the middle and write a list of all the good things that will happen if you did make the change and write a list of all the bad things that will happen or/and will stay the same.
- Create a simple action plan with a start date. Provide a maximum of 3-4 weeks to start.
- Read, listen to podcasts, watch a YouTube Video around the area you are willing to change.
- Meditate and visualise the change (start with once a week) and schedule this into your life routine, for e.g., Saturday morning at 7am.
- Once the confidence has been built around it contact a coach, blogger etc., to attend a group session to give you a taster of putting the exercise/activity into place.
- Diarise how you feel and journal your visualisations and write it out.
- Find someone you trust to be your accountability partner and to ensure that you are open to feedback during your transition. Remember the hardest part is transitioning.
- START (Get to the appointment, start the coaching, turn up to event), and be kind to yourself as you are going to stumble sometimes, which is okay. Remember, achievements do not happen overnight. You create a new healthy habit that becomes part of your lifestyle which is practiced on a more frequent basis with new tools and a new mindset.
- Track your achievements, evaluate, sleep and repeat!
