Christelle,
Yes, I’m finally making the “jump” and “putting myself out there” in the world of Live Events…
I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time (more than a year)…
Because there is nothing better than “showing” what I do to “explain” it and highlight the value everyone can get out of it…
So, it’s a VERY important goal for me, something I REALLY want to do…
… But I’ve been hiding behind writing posts, articles and newsletters – I “just” had to press the “publish” button and then it was “out of my hands”…
… Then I got to speak to people individually – not too difficult either…
… Then I pushed myself to “public speaking” with my workshop with Ellevate Toronto early April – preparation, coordination with the Ellevate’s representative, and past experiences in the corporate world helped me make this quite a smooth experience…
Yet, I kept pushing back creating my Live event…
I had other more important tasks to do. I didn’t know how to set it up. I was worried no one would show up and all the time and energy spent on preparing the Live event would be for nothing…
I finally “pushed” myself to do it (in part thanks to my coach!)… It took a lot of internal “pushing”, fighting procrastination and resistance to doing it… and now it’s happening…
But I was curious to better understand this procrastination and resistance to doing something I really, really wanted to do – and the idea came from me, with no one pushing me into it…
So I got coached on it… And I realized that, despite my previous experiences in speaking to individual people and groups, and to putting my thoughts online… it was still a BIG step for me… a much BIGGER step than the multiple steps I’ve previously taken… and I was really STRETCHING myself thin… hence the procrastination and resistance…
But now, I know… and next time I have this feeling, I’ll look how I can achieve the same goal, but with smaller steps…
How about you? Have you ever been in that situation?
This week’s Instant Coaching-Infused Conversation
>>> A short conversation / reflection about a specific challenge that YOU’re facing right now, with YOU leaving with ONE action (designed by YOU, for YOU) to take right away!
This week’s topic: Procrastinating and resisting working on your goal?
Imagine…
You’ve wanted to achieve a goal for a very long time… maybe even years…
You’ve finally decided that it’s HAPPENING this year…
But you still keep pushing it off, thinking a little bit about what you need to do, maybe even doing a little bit of research… but you’re not really STARTING…
You know you’re procrastinating, resisting taking any real action… but you don’t know why…
What if you could understand why you’re procrastinating and resisting doing something YOU want to do?
How would you feel? How would that impact your life?
Would that help you get STARTED? Because that’s exactly what we could explore together in an Instant Coaching-Infused Conversation…
And how would you feel if, instead, you were not trying to understand… and kept hoping that, one day, you’ll stop procrastinating?
***
Now, imagine that the next 20 minutes are just about YOU (your time, your space, your voice, your thoughts…) and you’re having a deep conversation with me, your coach... Just let your mind wander as you reflect on the questions below…:
- What goes on in your mind when you think about working on that goal? Feelings. Sensations…
- Do you have an image / metaphor coming to mind? – for me, I felt like a cat being pushed outside when the weather is very bad, and therefore resisting: rear paws get in front of front paws, the body goes up, the cat meows… and doesn’t move!
- Using my metaphor: What’s the “bad weather” for you?
- What could you reduce the impact of that “bad weather” on you?
- What actions can you take to reduce that impact on you?
- What are the easiest actions you could start with?
- How will you CELEBRATE taking one of these easiest actions?
>>>> So, what’s ONE action you’re COMMITTING to do THIS WEEK following this Instant Coaching-Infused Conversation session? (even a small action like scheduling a task in your calendar!)
What if, instead of ruminating about the obstacle you’re facing right now and procrastinating in following the “advice” of well-intentioned colleagues / friends (because, well, that “advice” is really NOT something you want to do!), you could talk about this obstacle with someone who would help you design your own advice, in your own terms… allowing you to finally start taking action…
Thinking that it would be great? Then, let’s see what we can do together!
