Your goals are SMART. Are they WISE?
Let me introduce you to Marcus. (Coaching is confidential, so I changed his name but every word of this story is true.) Marcus has spent his whole career writing S.M.A.R.T. goals → Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely. He’s spoken this
🚫 We’re done with coaching groups
Big news: Our coaching groups are done. 😱 And honestly? I delayed this decision almost a whole year. Coaching groups were the core of my work. For years, they were the primary way leaders worked with me. And I believe
You’re not crazy (& you’re not alone) 🤝
I do NOT believe the lie that leadership is lonely. But I do believe leadership can be incredibly isolating. The higher you go, the fewer people you can be fully honest with. You carry decisions nobody else sees. You hold
Someday never comes ⏰
