3 Questions to set you on a new path this Summer
Posted on June 25, 2024 by Jo Yvon, One of Thousands of Career Coaches on Noomii.
Most of us take a break at this time of year. It can be a great time to reflect on what you want next. Here are three questions to help with that.
June has come around already and the school summer break is looming. In fact here in Bali it started last week!
Now is a great time to regroup. Here are 3 simple reflections to help:
THE ROSE. What’s the progress I’m most proud of? What does that tell me about me? Maybe I’m best when I have a team/collaborator alongside me. Maybe it’s because I prioritised this and made time for it. Maybe it’s just the thing I’m most excited about.
Whatever it is, use this in your favour and use it to progress other things that matter to you.
THE THORN. Where am I making the least progress? What does that tell me about me? Maybe my heart’s not in it. Time to drop it? Maybe this is the really scary one. Time to find a tiny step that’s not so scary? Time to be willing to “fail fast”? Time to get some support?
If you do what you’ve always done you’ll get what you’ve always got. So if that hasn’t worked, time for a new approach.
THE BUD. What’s one one thing that I’m most looking forward to this Summer? What does that tell me about me?
Chances are it involves some rest. And then having time for activities you love and people you care about. What would it be like to still be doing them in September? What would make that possible . . . ?
My job is to ask questions. One question can unlock a whole new path.
If a new path is calling you, or someone close to you, I can help with that. Just ask.
