On a recent morning walk, my reflection time, I was contemplating my coaching practice and how I could be helping more people in this current situation, when I had an “aha” moment.

In my coaching I help people to identify and work towards achieving some big goals (usually two work and one personal goal) over a 4-5 months’ period.  As I thought about this, I realised that, for many people right now, with uncertainty and unexpected change all around us, this could be overwhelming.  Perhaps what people need in this moment is help setting and achieving smaller, quicker to reach, not-quite-so-stretch goals.

Whilst the thought of setting and working on that big audacious goal might be too daunting right now, setting and achieving smaller goals can be extremely rewarding and good for our mental health; giving us something to own and control plus a sense of reward when we achieve it – things our brains crave.

Smaller doesn’t mean unimportant, it might be a stepping-stone goal; the first milestone that will take you closer to setting and working towards that bigger goal later.

For example, a big life-changing goal might be around getting a new job in a new industry, however a smaller milestone goal might be around identifying what other industries you might like to work in in the future.  Small progress is progress.

My decision by the end of my walk? To put together a coaching program to suit these times; a shorter course, with shorter sessions, focused on one goal.
