Setting and achieving
specific goals
Every so often, there comes along a goal which is so big, so scary, so “that would be amazing” that it commands particular attention.
For many, this will involve a physical challenge whilst for others, it will be undertaking endurance events of a different nature.
With my active support, people I have worked with have achieved amazing outcomes, including –
- Written and launched a book
- Made keynote presentations
- Become very strong
- Started and completed Masters qualifications
- Completed a cycling adventure
- Completed running events
- Significant career progression
Regardless of the specifics, the common element is that such goals take months or even years to achieve. Invariably, they also require planning and intense perseverance to accomplish.
There are many ways in which having a mentor can assist in seeing such a goal through to completion-
- A sounding board ahead of committing to the goal
- Using a helpful framework to break the process down into manageable sections
- Developing a training program that fits in with your career and other commitments
- Accountability buddy
- Being a source of wise counsel and support when the going gets tough
