“Always remember you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
Winnie the Pooh
Coaching Tip for the Week:
On Friday, nearly 100 women came together at Spark to dream big, set Bold Goals, and create an action plan to make the next year the best one yet. What a day!
Toward the end of our event, we did an exercise that proved – both physically and mentally – Pooh’s wise words. These women stretched beyond their limits and demonstrated their ability to move past what they previously thought possible. It was breathtaking!
This week, stretch your limits. Do something you previously didn’t think you could. Speak up in a meeting when you’re normally silent. Say “thank you” to someone in uniform when normally you would only think it. Do five extra sit-ups, set one goal higher, apply for the promotion, take the lead.
Nothing is going to change unless we – you and I – take the initiative and change it. That’s going to require us to stretch in new, bold, sometimes uncomfortable ways.
But what might be waiting for you just beyond your comfort zone?
Stretch yourself and find out.
What if your boldest dream is actually within reach…and you don’t even realize it?
