How Leaders Can Understand and Cross Hurdles to Reach More Goals

I have a feeling that you’ve been in a rut lately. You haven’t had that same tenacity and zeal in moving toward your goals. I want you to know that it’s important that you raise your level of awareness to recognize what’s getting in your way and that you take targeted action to find a solution to that thing that’s bothering you.

There’s a lot of noise that’s tied to old experiences. We get bogged down and anxious about choices that we made in the past that didn’t work in our favor. When we are working towards new goals, this is actually an opportunity to go back and look at the impact of those choices and how we can redo, undo, realign, modify, and make adjustments that make a shift in our energy, effort, & attitude.

Today’s episode is all about getting you out of that funk and into your zone of genius. Listen as we break down how to identify what’s holding you back and how to take targeted action toward your goals for your sake and for the sake of your team. Let’s get you out of that rut and over those hurdles!

🔑 We get to control where we put our effort and our energy.

🔑 Awareness is key. Awareness can help you understand and reframe whatever it is that’s getting in the way.

🔑 It can be debilitating to constantly blame yourself. Old experiences, doubts, and concerns can leave us paralyzed and afraid to leap forward.

Give yourself the gift of time to pause. Take a moment to think about and evaluate the issue. Then make an intentional decision about what necessary changes need to be made.
