When stepping into a coaching session, I’m often told, “I’m not really sure what I want to talk
about today.” My response? “What are the 3 biggest obstacles to you or your business in the next 3 or 6 months?”
Why 3 - 6 months out?
Clarity and Prioritization: Defining the three most pressing challenges brings clarity to what truly matters. It also helps both the coach and the client prioritize efforts and resources effectively.
Strategic Planning: Once the main challenges are clear, it becomes easier to create a strategic plan to address each one with targeted actions and measurable outcomes.
Momentum and Motivation: Focusing on the biggest obstacles enables quick wins and builds momentum, motivating the client to continue pushing forward.
If you are willing to dig deep and answer questions candidly, a pattern or blind spot may be revealed that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Awareness must be acted on...
Once the top three challenges are identified, the next step is to transform them into actions:
Define the Challenge: Clearly articulate the problem, including its scope and impact.
Explore the Root Cause: Dig deeper to understand what’s contributing to the challenge.
Create a Plan: Outline steps, resources needed, and milestones to track progress.
Set Accountability: Establish checkpoints to review progress and adjust as necessary.
Celebrate Wins: Recognize progress to maintain motivation and forward momentum.
Let’s do some coaching!
Focusing on the three biggest challenges over the next three to six months brings structure, clarity, and purpose to coaching conversations. It allows both the coach and client to be proactive and strategic, turning obstacles into opportunities for growth. Together we can make transformation happen!
