In the previous post, I asked you: "If you been aware of three simple, but solid methods that would enable you to keep to your personal development goals, are you interested in learning a little more about it?" Still interested?
If that is so, within this second post, I will go deep into detail of method two and three, which all when combined offer you a great first base to help make your plan of action happen! If you haven't seen the initial post on this topic, I encourage you to definitely read it first.
For all others, here is a very small recap: the first method described in the last post was the Blank Page Benefit, which focuses on our mindset. Without the right mindset, it'll be impossible to accomplish any goal, no matter what many great capabilities we do have.
Here comes the second and third method. Ready for it?
#2: Choose a buddy
Okay, this sounds easy, right? When you have focus and a positive mindset, mixed with of friendly reminders by the colleague or friend, very few things can hold you back. You would have somebody to discuss your doubts, your lack of energy and even your fears. So, to help you to stay with your new goal, play a trick on yourself and tell people about this. Develop some peer pressure to increase your energy.
How to find a partner?
Step #1: Involve someone whom you trust, your best friend, favourite colleague, whomever you prefer. Let them know about your boss' suggestion to improve your listening skills. Ask them for feedback (maybe these people have a similar view than your boss?).
Action 2: Ask them for help. Just ask for a simple weekly motivation call - in the event it meets your needs. And contact them if you find yourself stuck. Most people are happy to help.
Action 3 (optional): Ask your buddy to come together with you on this path. Maybe there is an interest that he/she also participates at the communication training. However, keep this citation by the US-American writer Erma Bombeck in mind: "A friend doesn't go on a diet because you are fat."
#3: Investigate about the subject
This approach makes sense notably for personal development goals which are aiming at changing old patterns, like the one the boss suggested.If I get anxious regarding a topic, I commence to research and ask questions. This can help me being much more comfortable during my discomfort. Can you relate? Sometimes I even get hooked to the topic, as it gets more and more interesting.
Tips on how to inform yourself best?
Action 1: Ask somebody who is experienced with the topic. As an example, go and ask the training department in your company if they have more information on the course. Maybe they can give a good reference to you.
Step #2: If you use the Lift app I recommended in method one, contact the people who are pursuing the same objectives.
Step #3: Take a look at tools such as: Alltop.com, Twitter. com - you'd be amazed about how many individuals have similar interests as well as goals.
Step 4: And last, but not least, consider to have a look at the usual resources: Amazon, Google and Youtube.
The Bottom Line
This strategy has worked for me personally, in case you implement it, I believe it's going to be right for you.Even though these methods involve a good number of steps, overall, they don't really take up a great deal of time.
