Summary: If your year didn't turn out as well as you hoped it would, it's time for honest reflection and make time for your personal "year in review". At this time of year many people end up disappointed and perhaps disillusioned as to where it went wrong. But rather than looking back with regret you owe it to yourself to look back with curiousity to actively seek the lessons that you can take into your next 12 months. In this podcast, Paul and Chris give practical steps to make sure you review with the right attitude, mindset and desire to learn, and outline these 5 perspectives to investigate from. Clarity Whether you set specific goals at the start of the year or not, the quality of your actions are constantly influenced by the amount of clarity you current have on how to achieve what you want. On reflection, we often discover that we weren't nearly as clear as we thought we were - or needed to be - in order to get what we hoped for. Confidence To what extent did you have the certainty and confidence to take the steps that were needed to achieve your outcomes, or to overcome the barriers in your way? Listen to Paul and Chris discuss the factors that shape your confidence as it relates to going after your goals. Competence A close cousin of confidence, your competence (skills, knowledge and talent) to get things done, to have crucial conversations, rise to the challenges and be resilient to setbacks all play a major role in your results from the past year. If you fell short in some areas, to what extend were you playing with less than a full tank of competence? Commitment & Consistency Do you give up too easily or make it hard to succeed with habits of self-sabatoging your progress? That is more common than you many think and might have been a toxic behaviour that you need to rid yourself of going forward. Coaching or Mentoring As Paul mentions, sometimes it can be uncomfortable to ask for help but having an external guide to keep you on track can make all the difference. Yet often those closest to us don't provide the support we need. Perhaps your 'inner circle' of friends, mentors or coaches were a mismatch to what you needed most and this is an area to address. Listen to this podcast multiple times as you take an honest look back on the past year and start build positive momentum to make the next 12 months even more rewarding, fulfilling and successful.
