Some teams can face change head on and rarely miss a step. For many though, change spurs uncertainty, fear, and distraction.

Most of us simply don’t naturally embrace change.

Change can often feel like a storm at sea, at any moment there is a possibility of being flung overboard, the ship may capsize or when the sea returns to calm, you realize you are not on board.

Staying motivated through change is hard and costly.

It affects productivity, and ultimately, profitability.

Through all my years coaching Olympic athletes, female executives and their teams, time and time again I have seen how my clients have flipped fear on its head and turned it into something they can use to keep on track and stay motivated and highly productive.

Fear and insecurity often hold teams back during times of disruption... but it doesn’t have to.

What Creates Calm and Feeling in Control

When it comes to mastering change, it’s important to feel a sense of agency, and a specific way of world-class goal setting is a crucial way to get this done. Let’s explore the benefits of short, intermediate, and long-term goals.

Long-Term Goals

Starting with the end in mind, a long-term goal is your ultimate destination. They provide a clear vision and purpose, guiding your efforts over time. By setting long-term objectives, you can align your team's work with your organization's broader mission, ensuring that every step you take is purposeful and strategic.

Intermediate Goals

Intermediate goals bridge the gap between short-term achievements and long-term visions. They keep you and your team on track, ensuring sustained momentum. These goals are essential for maintaining focus and adapting strategies as needed.

Short-Term Goals

Short-term goals are like stepping stones that we have total control over. Like stones, they are grounding. They provide immediate direction and help you achieve quick wins, boosting morale and motivation. By setting achievable daily and weekly targets, you can create a sense of accomplishment that fuels further progress.
