Be proactive is the first habit of the seven habits of highly effective people (Stephen Covey) and there is a reason for this! Being proactive can transform your life!
- By taking full responsibility for your actions, you can no longer blame external circumstances for your situation. This empowers you to take control and action to change/ improve your life.
- Being proactive comes down to taking aligned action: not taking any action but being aligned with what matters to you most and then having the courage and discipline to follow through with it.
- The 5 seconds by Mel Robbins is a tangible way to live proactively. Every time you hesitate to take aligned action, you count to five and then do it!
- By taking full responsibility and living proactively, it can have huge transformational impact on your life and work.
My coaching career began thanks to this. I remember taking one specific action (signed up to coaching training) and from then on, my entire life pivoted. It was as if I was taking back control of my life and future, and no longer drifting with the current. This is why I so strongly believe in the impact of being proactive
