I’m a goals oriented person. Things happen in my life when I set and chase goals. And I drift when I don’t. So I’m starting to think about my goals for next year. Personal and professional. Here is part of the framework I’m using.

Very useful framework for understanding communications and expressing self. Core idea is that there are underlying feelings driving behaviour/strategies, and needs underlying all drive the feelings.

I realised my ability to transform others relies more and more on their willingness to commit. On them having skin in the game. Over the past year, one of the things that has hurt most, has been feeling like others aren't equally bought into their success. I'm rooting for them, but they aren't showing up. That's something I've encountered many times over the last 10 years coaching, but I haven't allowed myself to feel regarding it. Ultimately, it's a feeling of sadness. And I also feel a sense of letting them down. That's my stuff. Not theirs. Change and transformation isn’t infinitely complicated. But it’s not an intellectual exercise, or conversation for fun. There is a need to follow through with actions. There needs to be a grounding commitment to making the transformation happen. In my experience coaching, that’s where the gap is.
