What’s the Secret To Achieving Your Goals?

by | Oct 9, 2015 | Career Development, Coaching Advice

We’re all surrounded by goals. ToDo lists. Management Objectives. Career Goals. Personal Goals.

[Tweet “You name it, we’ve got a goal about it.”]

Why is it we feel sometimes that achieving your goals is so hard?

In my experience, our biggest limitation when it comes to setting goals is that we make it a completely left-brain, intellectual exercise and we fail to engage our creative, intuitive, innovative and excited right brain.

When we do this our goals sit on a sheet of paper, lifeless and unmotivating. If we’re not careful we can begin to feel the stress of becoming separated from our sense of purpose. This is not a good place to be.

The good news is that you can easily create goals—for yourself and others—that are intuitively energizing, meaningful and motivating.

The secret is to focus on understanding what your success looks and feels like—deeply. Explore it and imagine it. Keep that feeling of success close and personal as you move towards it.

At InPower Coaching we have a formula for setting goals like this called InPower Intentions. How to use the formula is the focus on this month’s Drop-In topic in the InPower membership community. Come join us to learn the secrets that make achieving your goals not only more probable but more fun too!!

Take charge of your career development to get the job that supports your work and your life. Check out the tools and resources in the InPower Coaching Career Center.
