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: Look for a 'partner in crime'
Okay, this sounds easy, right? When you have focus and a positive mindset, in combination of friendly reminders by a colleague or friend, very few things can stop you. You would have somebody to discuss your doubts, your lack of energy and even your fears. So, to enable you to stay with your new goal, play a trick on yourself and tell people about this. Build up some pressure from peers to boost your energy.
How to find buddy?
Step 1: Involve someone who you trust, your best friend, favourite colleague, whomever you want. Tell them about your boss' suggestion to further improve your listening skills. Ask them for feedback (maybe they have a similar view than your boss?).
Step # 2: Ask them for help. Just request a simple weekly motivation call - if that meets your needs. And phone them if you find yourself stuck. We are all prepared to help.
Step #3 (optional): Ask your buddy to come along 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: Inform yourself on the subject
This method make sense notably for personal development goals that are aiming at changing old patterns, such as the one the boss suggested.If I get anxious regarding a topic, I commence to research and ask questions. This can help me to be much more comfortable during my discomfort. Do you do the same? Sometimes I even get hooked to the topic, as it gets increasingly more interesting.
Tips on how to inform yourself best?
Step #1: Ask someone you know who's informed about the topic. For example, go and ask the training department in your company if they have more information on the training. Maybe they could give a good reference to you.
Action 2: If you are using the Lift app I recommended in method one, contact individuals who are pursuing the same objectives.
Step 3: Look into tools like: Alltop.com, Twitter. com - you'd be surprised about how many individuals have similar interests and objectives.
Action 4: And last, but not least, also have a go through the usual resources: Google, Youtube and Amazon.
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.
