I feel like this quarter just flew by!

As soon as my son went back to college in January I hit the ground running. And it’s been a great quarter! I have worked with so many amazing women who are achieving big results.

• One client received a big industry award because she learned how to step out of the margins- many new opportunities are coming her way

• Another client has been tapped to be the new CEO’s right-hand person

• Another client worked through her self- limiting beliefs and not only speaks her mind in meetings now; confidently offering her new ideas and perspectives, she is being heard. She put her hat in the ring for a promotion.

• Another client formed a number of strategic relationships in her organization as she positions herself for her next opportunity and is being seen as the “go-to” person in her area.

• And yet another client has learned to manage her schedule to her priorities. She deletes and delegates her to-dos and asks for help. As a result, she can focus on what matters most and is able to take on new opportunities that will help her grow.

How is your year going so far?

Are you on track? Do you need to reset, refine or even redesign your original plan?

Tracking and measuring your progress is essential to achieving any result. It’s impossible to improve on anything if you don’t review your progress every day, every week and every month.

When I begin working with clients, this is one of the core foundational processes we review and incorporate into their coaching program. Otherwise, what’s the point? If no accountability measures exist, they will never get results.

Just like a plane has a guidance system that keeps readjusting to ensure that the plane lands at its destination on time, we need a guidance system that keeps us in check.

What habits do you need to let go of and replace with habits that will keep you on track?

I have a challenge for you…

For the next 5 working days, I want you to stop doing these three things and track your results:

1. Don’t hit the snooze - instead, turn on the light and think about something you are grateful for.

2. Don’t touch your phone for at least 15 minutes after you wake - instead, think about how you want your day to unfold.

3. Don’t start your day with email - instead, map your day to YOUR priorities, not others.

What’s 5 days? Try it and let me know how it goes. Share how you felt and what was really hard to do. 

I guarantee that if you can change these three habits you will become much more focused, productive and energized. 

What will you do with what you know and who can help you?

Accountability is key.
