Welcome to this solo series called BOOST, the purpose is to give you little BOOST to your day, to further provide ways to create a thriving organisation.   Are your goals demotivating you?   Sometimes when we look out into the distanced at the goal we are trying to achieve, they can be overwhelming, and at times feel to big, and this can actually demotivate us. Now I know it is important to set stretching goals, that will accomplish much, but what do we do when they demotivate us. I was struck by this recently whilst running on the trails, and I looked ahead at a climb of about 250m, and suddenly felt exhausted and overwhelm by the sight of it trying to run up to the top. It was a route I had done many times and was part of the plan of the day.   Here are 4 ways to bring back the motivation:   1. Remember the experience and training that got you here right now 2. Breakdown the goal into bite size pieces, don't try and eat the whole elephant in one! 3. Visualise yourself completing the goal, what will you see, hear and feel? 4. Since you created the goal, then you can assure yourself that you will have all the resources within you to complete it   And finally give yourself some slack - It’s ok to slow the pace down, even if the timings slips, as long as you achieve the goal.     If you want support in helping your organisation thrive, do get in contact with me: https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com

Today I am interviewing Nicole van Baardwijk who is Co-founder and CEO of WOOSH5.   Nicole and I explored the importance of why high performers in your organisation need resilience training since It’s easy to think that high performers are incredibly resilient – that’s how they get so much done, right? And yet, it’s not their great coping skills that makes many high performers shine so bright. Nicole shared some ways to help your manage those high performers like: Closely monitor the workload of your high performers to make sure they’re not overburdened. Don’t wait for high performers to tell you they’re doing too much or they’re feeling stressed – they may not even realise it themselves! Keep a close eye on their mental health. Offer support in the form of resilience training, coaching and ongoing education around balance, boundaries and the importance of rest and recovery.   Watch the full interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzpgHLIPILA   Connect with Nicole: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-van-baardwijk-3a3440/ Website: http://www.woosh5.com/ Email: nicole@woosh5.com   If you want support in helping your organisation thrive, do get in contact with me: https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com/
