Clearer thinking creates bigger decisions, focus on the future?

So what moves you to clear thinking and decision taking? 

What is the context for your best thinking?  Your robust thinking, Your creative thinking, Your problem solving, Your planning, Your direction for your organisation and team, Your direction for your life ( put that near the top of the list!).

When you stop for a moment. What are some of your best decisions and how did you make them?

What big decisions are on your mind now, your radar, your dreams?   It's not always about lots of time - clarity and insight can happen in a moment, yet we can put off and say " I really must think about that." 

What decisons have you been too busy to consider, putting off, or mulling over ... and yet the steps to achievement haven't followed. Focus on your future. What springs to mind? 

"Confidential headspace" is just one huge advantage of coaching for busy senior, successful people.

"I hear myself"

A time for reflection, a time to "take stock", "regroup", a time to look forward, plan, dream, visualise

A time to consider what went well, what we were disappointed with, what our top tips to ourself is to make life easier, streamlined, successful.

A time to think about what we want, what we need to do

It is common place in coaching for folks to say "I hear myself think", "I didn't know that was what I was thinking.... until I said it out loud just know"

Th other day a client simply said "I hear myself" there was silence, there was knowing, there was confidence, there was relief, there was optimism

Take time for you.... a walk, a notebook, a beautiful view, a cycle, sitting in your favourite spot?

Do you want to hear yourself?

What do you want to know?  Yes, the answer is within.

Stretching out, up and down

What's on your horizon?  Are you making time to look out or are you absorbed in the day to day, meeting to meeting?

Do you have expansiveness in your life - what's your reaction to the question?

1. What would help you look out?

2. What would help you to move up, move on?

3. What would help you have depth? Go deeper....

Take a walk, give yourself thinking time and space  .....   Anything resonate - what's your execution plan?   

Take time to paint the picture in your mind, for what we visualise and have clarity on has a much greater chance of coming to fruition!  Enjoy - make it happen.

Future or fear?

Fear stops us from doing so much, the tape in our head...."this could be dangerous, uncomfortable, difficult, may not work, cause me even more stress, I don't have time, it wont work anyway, I've tried it before, what's the point, they wont like me, I'll look stupid, it wont happen to me, I have responsibilites"?

Familiar messages that might play in your head?

Sometimes stopping and thinking for a few short moments about what we want and not letting fear stand before us ( looming TALL!) is a good idea.

What do you want your future to look like?

What today do you want to be part of your future? 

Where is fear getting in the way?  When was the last time you went ahead took courage in your hands and did something you were fearful of and it had a good result! 

Remind yourself today of all the skills you have, of everything you are good at. 

Remind yourself today of achievements you are proud of.

Remind yourself of  the future you want.

When we get clear about what we want, it's the first step on the path to making it happen.

What are you building for the future?

On my wall in colour in my office, on a very large piece of paper, I have created a wall, brick by brick and I enjoy adding to it every time I achieve something that is a "building brick" to the life I'm creating and living.

So what are you building? Is it the shape, size, colour, location, texture that delights you? -  that makes your day when you think about it - or do you need to rebuild, redecorate, need an extension, need to do some restoring  - have you set strong foundations but come to a bit of a halt?

Each day we are building relationships, careers, health, hobbies, family and friends, departments, teams, homes, memories, enjoyment, legacies, businesses, clients ..... and more and more, what would you add?

So are you happy with what you're building, when it's finished will you be delighted and proud of your achievement? Do you need to acknowledge how grateful you are for the building bricks you already have?

This year, what are you building for the future - is it what you want?  Draw your own wall with all the bricks you have  to date  ( you don't have to be an architect!)  and then another wall of those bricks still to be built ..... Go on have a moment of reflection, what does it tell you? Do let me know, email me, love to hear from you and writing it down will help!

Build well and strong this year, it matters for your future.
