Ever committed to a new behavior only to realize halfway through that you are worn out, angry, resentful, or living as a martyr or a victim to your new behavior? In the past - me too. But no more! Tune into this podcast to hear how clients and I have both used rewards as a way of nourishing us through tough times. Beware though, not all rewards are nourishing. Chosen in haste, rewards might just feel like another "to do" item, adding more busy to the busy!! Chosen with intention, rewards that give you a something to look forward to makes never-ending journeys bearable, and perhaps even joyful.

This is a conversation I have with clients and potential clients ALL THE TIME! I hope you can relate. Do you ever set a goal and then when you accomplish it, you don't feel as awesome as you thought you were going to? Yep, me too. Here's the question to ask when setting goals: "What do I think I'm gonna get when I hit the goal that I say you want?"
 
Most of us, without asking this question, lack clarity. We end up hitting a goal that is only 10% of what we actually wanted (but never said). Listen and hear how this coaching question unfolds clarity on why clients actuallywant that goal in the first place. Acknowleging what they really do want (but aren’t saying!) and build systems to track all of it.💪🏾
