Deep dives
Feedback is Key for Growth
The first step in our coaching session focuses on the importance of feedback. You're encouraged to reflect on any interactions where you may have had concerns or observations regarding my approach or behavior. This open communication allows for growth and improvement.
Identifying Joy-Driven Tasks
Next, we shift focus to identifying tasks and responsibilities that bring you joy. By eliminating activities you dislike and replacing them with tasks that energize you, we aim to create a work environment that fosters passion and fulfillment.
Purposeful Motivation Over Fear
In our coaching approach, we aim to shift your motivation from fear-based to purpose-driven. By understanding your underlying motivations and finding joy in your tasks, we seek to cultivate resilience and a sense of purpose in your professional endeavors.
Importance of Listening to Feedback on Weight Loss
Acknowledging feedback on weight loss from others, such as friends and family, is crucial. Taking into account the impact weight loss can have on one's well-being and relationships is essential. Making small changes like reducing calorie intake and fasting can lead to significant weight loss. Personal experiences of losing weight and considering the concern of loved ones are highlighted.
Dealing with Fear of Business Failures
Facing fear and anger associated with potential failures in business ventures is discussed. The fear of investment failures and the impact on founders is a major concern. Reflecting on past experiences and regrets related to business outcomes is emphasized. Seeking advice and support from peers and investors to navigate potential failures is recommended.
