Part 1 of a 3-part series on goal-setting. Because setting goals can be somewhat simple, focusing on the right goals can be a bit more difficult, and creating the right environment, habits, routines, cadence, etc. (aka your System) can be a challenge. This episode is focused on what we have found is the first step in goal setting either personally or professionally to help you feel successful right out of the gate. Selecting what you're going to focus on... and what you're NOT going to focus on is often the most critical element of achieving a goal.

How much time do you spend worrying and focusing on those things in life where you have no influence? If you could re-capture that energy and focus all of it on moving your life more into alignment, where would you be? All of us have a circle of influence and concern. Spend too much energy in the wrong one and you’ll earn yourself an overwhelming amount of unwanted worry and stress without any progress towards your goals.

Radical Candor beautifully summarizes one of the most complex leadership skills, direct and compassionate feedback. In this summary, we dive into the 4 quadrants of providing feedback. None of us are immune from dipping into the "a**hole" or passive-aggressive "mom" quadrant at one time or another. Are you willing to genuinely care for someone enough to get uncomfortable in challenging them to improve?

We all do it... we hesitate, we pause. It happens naturally within us and sometimes for very good reason - ie: to keep us safe. There are other times though we hesitate out of fear... fear of embarrassment or fear of failure. You can push past this with a simple tool and a willingness to put it into practice.

Listener suggested episode!! Leadership is about creating the right environment that allows the team to be at their best. Without things like trust, autonomy, clarity of expectations, systems, communication, values and behaviors, feedback, etc. the team cannot be empowered effectively.

This year (2020) has been like walking through all of the stages of grief. The human condition, however, is defined by choice. Swirling drama of social media, politics and elections, Bikini Beans coffee, and as much reflection as you can handle... this episode has it all. 2020 has lessons, if you care to listen... so pick yourself up off the cold tile floor of despair and define your own resilience.
