Thinking Differently & 90 day Goals.

Think about the next 90 days and set goals for what you're aiming to achieve...

Now really it shouldn't be too challenging right?  I manage to make it challenging though! I'm sure I'm not alone?? There's got to be others out there...?? *insert sound of crickets here* haha jokes...I know you're out there too!

So what is it that makes it so challenging?   Well I it could have something to do with not having done goals before. It could be not knowing what is possible. It could also be ones ability to go big picture versus detail. It could be__*insert excuse here*___ ...but it's not.

It's the THINKING.

The thinking is what creates the Environment for everything to happen.  Recently I have been introduced to the concept of Inductive thinking versus Deductive thinking.

Let's take the 90 day Goals for example and use this article to Think Different

• Deductive thinking is focused on what is, and chunks down further into current reality. 

eg. What are the TASKS that I need to do in order to move forward with this project?

• Inductive thinking is focused on what could be - the alternatives - which chunks up and away from current reality.

eg. How do I want [this project] to be?


So lets put it in to practice.

The project is: Facebook Sales

Deductive Goal: - create sales marketing budget - design ad - place ad - get sales

Inductive Goal: - Potential clients are WOWed by the entire Facebook sales experience recommending others to also experience the massive value we offer.


It's pretty obvious which one of those opens up a whole new world of possibilities :)

I've done my goals for a while now and right up until now I have felt like my goals were leaning more towards Deductive thinking. The deductive part certainly still has it's very important place in the goal process but that place is not #1.

So today as I sat down to do my goals I looked at each category and thought "What kind of environment could this have in 90 days time. How do I want it to be?" and started right there.  It really has made a huge difference for the possibilities of HOW I might achieve each one, I don't know how...yet...that's what I'll be thinking into tomorrow :)


Trust that gave you something to think differently about, I would love to know what you think!

Do you think I could say think one more time? I think so! hahaha

The Rapport Report & Aspergers made Awesome!

Check out "The Rapport Report" (link below)

It's a great article that teaches you ways to increase your ability to communicate with anyone, including yourself.  If you're a parent, like me, you'll notice that you already match and mirror your children at times when they need you to be "just like them" not a big grown up, not the voice of reason, just a friend with open arms and childlike curiosity to understand what they need and how they need you to give it.

Knowing Rapport Building Techniques has really helped me with my son. One of his biggest challenges he has been gifted in his life focuses completely on communication. It conveniently has a name that you may have heard of before or even be familiar with yourself...Aspergers.

A break in Rapport at a critical time could mean that a meltdown gets triggered.  In those moments when his coping skills are low, it is my gift to him to have this skill and to do it well. 

I teach him how to have rapport with himself and others everyday.

The filters his world is perceived through can be less than compassionate and understanding at times so it's important that we create the neurological pathways around that filter to give him another choice.

The results have been phenomenal, at times he appears wise beyond his years.

One of the best choices I ever made was studying at The Coaching Institute I am forever grateful and continue to learn more and more with them everyday.   Rapport is a foundational key to our success...then there's Meta but that's a whole other blog :)

Here's that article The Rapport Report  

Enjoy!

And so it begins

I will write,

I will muse,

You will read what you choose,

And together I know -

We'll Live, Love, Give & Grow!
