How to become the best version of yourself – Part 5 SOAR to new heights!
Congratulations! We have made it to the end of the August challenge to find the best version of ourselves and SOAR. How did you do? Did you achieve everything you set out to do? What have you learned about yourself? And most importantly what comes next? There is a saying that “the finish line is just the beginning of a whole new race”, and in that spirit, I would like to set you up for even greater success moving forward into September and beyond.
During August, I have led you through some of the major pillars of my signature coaching program, SOAR (the acronym stands for the four phases of the program SEEK, OUTLINE, AWAKE, and RELEARN) which helps professionals like you transform mindfully and with ease so you can SOAR in all areas of your life. To recap some of the things we covered:
- Defining your “why.”
- Reviewing your values.
- Understanding your strengths.
- Creating your personal “success formula.”
- Being mindful and setting intentions.
- Finding ways to hold yourself accountable.
- Overcoming inner and outer setbacks.
- Cleaning house or letting go of what no longer serves us.
These principles have helped you raise the bar to a new level.
The truth is that transformations take time. Behavioral studies show that it requires a minimum of three to six months for new habits to form and become part of our identity and that the primary reason transformations do not come easily is that, as humans, we are deeply conditioned to think and behave in ways we learned early in our lives. So, how does one escape this conundrum and SOAR to new heights? By changing your mindset and raising your level of awareness.
This is where coaching comes in. You can read every article I have ever written (over 110) on career development and gain inspiring insights on how to lead yourself and others. But it will not help you to get out of your head and understand how YOUR thoughts create YOUR feelings which create YOUR actions. That is where I come in. My promise to you is that I will listen intently, with curiosity, and without judgment to shine a light on what has been holding you back from achieving your full potential and SOAR.
