Step 2: Now What?
So, you have a goal, a place you want to build a bridge to, but now what?
(If you missed that blog - start there.)
Most times when we finally decide to do something we jump straight into building action steps. And while I love me some action steps, there's an important foundational step we need to do before we go there.
It has to do with assessing your starting place.
Taking time to discern any possible obstacles will set you up for success better than simply jumping right into action steps. You need to ask yourself if there has been anything that has held you back in the past from moving forward in whatever area you are focusing on.
If there are lies that need to be replaced you can start there.
If you have a history of not following through, it is worth looking in to so you can set yourself up for complete follow-through this time.
If you deal with blame or excuse, it will be important to address those pitfalls before you start anything.
Some people call this "ownership" and that is the O in our Bridges Coaching ROAD. Another word you hear a lot that means something similar is "agency", if you want more on that word or thought check out "What's the deal with agency"
Masterful coaching can help you set yourself up for success. (Check out our Associate Coaches.)
Whatever ever you are thinking of accomplishing, getting clarity on what has been holding you back will make all the difference!

P.S. maybe you have people in your life that could use some agency or ownership, coach training can help you help them!
