Thank you for our contact in 2017! For 2018, I wish you all the best. I hope, aside from good health, that you will achieve your dreams/goals in 2018.
Did you think about those goals during New Year’s Eve? The so-called resolutions? Or are you still figuring it out? What will 2018 bring you? How will you lead your life?
Personal leadership involves, among other things,
- Am I the director of my own movie? In other words, am I taking ownership of my own life? After all, no one else but myself is responsible for my happiness.
- So, if I am that director, what is my movie actually about? In other words, which dreams do I want to fulfill in my life? What goals do I want to achieve? How do I want to be? How do I want my loved ones to see me? And… what do I want to do in 2018?
- Will the movie be produced? Will I put my words into action, or will it stick to plans, talking about it, and ultimately not realizing it? There is only one person who can make my plans come true, and that’s me.
How is your movie going to be? Is it an exciting one? Challenging? Is the plot as you envisioned it? Have you gathered the right players around you?
Or are there still ‘hiccups,’ and could you use some help to rewrite ‘part II’? Help could be to be challenged by me about what you really want now. Or, if you already know that, to look together at the obstacles that are preventing you from achieving what you would like. Possible topics could include:
- You want to truly work on a better work-life balance in 2018.
- You feel stuck in your work and want to think about a possible new dot on the horizon for you.
- You want to reconsider what your destination will be within the upcoming reorganization: leaving the company or thinking about which positions could be attractive to you and initiating conversations about them.
- You want to take the lead in improving communication within your team.
- You want to increase trust in your team and address any issues.
- You want to better understand your interests and strengths and learn to highlight them more within your company.
- You want to think about the future of your department or company and, together with a coach, examine your vision and strategy.
- …
Do you recognize any of these topics, or do you have another topic you want to work on in 2018? I am happy to be there for you to help you become the best version of yourself in 2018 and to play the lead role in the movie you have chosen.
The goal is not to change who you are,
but to become more of who you are at your best
