In the interests of best serving our clients the start of a new year seems a particularly fitting time for us as advisors to focus on how we might further our own development. It’s a smart move to start with ourselves especially when everything we’ll explore is immediately transferable to client experience.
Three questions to use as springboards:
Has our comfort zone become a comfort cage? Whatever the current state of play it’s actually quite easy to stretch ourselves so that small changes can have a big impact
Are we being direct and honest with ourselves? It’s fundamental to self-leadership so we’ll focus on some particular areas.
What if we were to say we’re ready enough? Over preparing, hesitancy, trying to get it ‘just right’ and perfectionism all have a positive intention but they can hold us back – or not if we can make friends with good enough.
