Finish Strong

Finish Strong

by | Jul 27, 2022 | Celebrate, Goal Setting

It is hard to believe that we are more than halfway through 2022 already.

Each year I take time in July to review and reflect on where I am with the goals I previously set for the year and set intentions and make corrections for the rest of the year.

How about you? Have you taken time for reflection and adjustments?

Are you making strides to make things happen, let them happen, or just wondering what happened?

It is halftime and a great time to plan not only for the next quarter, but for the remainder of the year. It is not too late to make adjustments and get back on track if needed.

As an Empowerment Coach and Leadership Advisor, I have seen many folks who have left their success to chance.

However, for the most part, the ones that succeed are those who take time for reflection to assess where they are and take corrective action as needed.

Please consider this a friendly reminder to make any adjustments you need to finish this year strong.

Put your happiness and success on your to-do list and Move Forward with Purpose.

Reach out and let me know how I can support you!

What We Can Learn from Juneteenth

What We Can Learn from Juneteenth

by | Jun 22, 2022 | Celebrate

Juneteenth. A bitter-sweet holiday that commemorates the end of enslavement and serves as a reminder of a long, hard struggle for civil rights.

Don’t just celebrate this day without some serious discussion.

Our children need to be aware of and continue to pass down this history.

What is not discussed is forgotten!

Clarify Your Intentions

Clarify Your Intentions

Did you set intentions that have now become stale?

Quarter 2 is here and now is a good time to review and clarify the Goals and Intentions you set for yourself this year.

Reexamine if the intentions you set were the right ones for you during this time:

Have you allowed yourself quality time to work on the goals you set?

Are the goals documented/written down in places that are visible reminders?

If this speaks to you, you are not alone!

Take some time to think through what barriers prevented you from starting or from continuing to move forward.

What or who were the distractions?

Is the goal even still relevant?

What Can You Do to Get Back on Track?

Know that taking time to examine what is working and what is not working is a good first step. Focus on your priorities and take small actionable steps to move forward.

Ask yourself, what is something that I can do immediately to get back on track?

What is a small positive action that I can build upon to develop into a routine?

If you have heard me speak, you know that I suggest dedicating at least 15 minutes daily to give yourself time to think and clear your mind to focus on your priorities.

Take time to review and plan ahead and refresh your plan as needed.

Share your plan with someone who can help and hold you accountable

Determine some daily, weekly or monthly check points

Track your challenges and your wins.

I keep an accomplishment/affirmation journal to help me stay motivated.

I also review my “to do” list each evening and highlight any “must dos” for the next day. I then review them again in the morning before reviewing emails or social media.

Share any ideas you have to help stay motivated and keep you on track. Let’s learn from one another.

If I can help you move forward with purpose, let’s talk!

Happy Spring!

 

You are the CEO

You are the CEO

YOU ARE THE CEO

Running your life is like running a business…you must focus in order to stay on track and in order to stay focused, you should have a plan.

You cannot see whether you are on track with your goals if you have not yet defined them.

As Q1 draws closer, take some quality time to review your goals and tweak your game plan as needed.

Don’t beat yourself up or give up if things have gotten a little off track: but do set or reset your priorities to adjust your time for major tasks and for minor to dos.

DON’T MAJOR IN MINOR THINGS

Now is a good time to review if you are spending too much time on things that don’t really count and too little time on things that will move you forward.

Yes, I am sure you’ve been busy, but don’t mistake busy for productive. Instead, evaluate what takes up your time and how you might make adjustments

LITTLE ADJUSTMENTS OVER TIME CAN
YIELD BIG RESULTS

Consistency matters. Don’t let procrastination keep you from pursuing your personal and professional goals.

If I can help you move forward with purpose, let’s talk!

 

Assess

Assess

by | Jan 6, 2022 | Goal Setting, Invest in Yourself, Self-Care

We have all experienced some emotional ups and downs over recent years and changes, challenges and surprises continue to affect us.

Personal, professional, financial, spiritual as well as our attitude, beliefs and actions have all come into question and should be assessed in this new year.

When is the last time you evaluated your life?

Are your emotions in line with your goals?

There is no better time to assess what you want and how best to Move Forward with Purpose.

A self-assessment means deciding who you are.

Take some quality time for reflection. Think about your accomplishments big and small, your skills, your enjoyments and your habits. Decide what you want, what you’ve learned about yourself and what you may want or need to do differently.

I like to reflect on what I should keep doing, stop doing, start doing or do differently and document my answers to hold myself accountable.

What do you do to hold yourself accountable?

Rather than think of this as a New Year’s resolution, I consider this assessment exercise as one of my success routines. It is a way for me to give myself credit!

I think that if I can’t be grateful for what I’ve done, I can be real thankful for what I’ve avoided!

Self-knowledge helps align your actions with your purpose and enhances your success and your happiness and I think we should all work toward that goal.

Learning about yourself takes time, but, trust me, it is so worth it!

Contact me if I can help you with this so you can Move Forward with Purpose.

Happy New Year!
