A warm welcome to this course on Personal Success Strategy. In this first short video I introduce you to a brief outline of the learning and to myself. Having coached some of the hardest to reach, including people with long term health and mental health conditions for over 20 years in the U.K. one of my first tasks, and one started in this introduction, is to get you to engage, through action, with the learning. I hope you enjoy this first step on your road to success and lasting change, as much as I enjoy the views from my office.
Finding where you are and where you want to be are essential on any journey, here is your starting point.
Here we assess what really motivates you, what can prevent you from achieving your aims and what price you may have to pay for the success you can now clearly define.
Goals, set properly in a structured way, can be the driving force behind each and every day of your life. Goals are less about where we are going and more about who we are becoming as we grow, learn and overcome obstacles in pursuit of our desires. Framed correctly, your goals will help your brain do most of the work for you.
The achievement of success relies on a forward motion through a cycle that self perpetuates. In order to move through the cycle it is up to you to act. Action will bring errors and in this video we learn not just about the cycle and you, but also how to not let mistakes get the better of your successes.
Here we look at the change cycle and chart our journey through it from not knowing there was a problem to our eventual termination or relapse. In order to keep the impact of any termination to a minimum and keep you on the path to successful behaviours we will also look at tips and tools for reducing our resistance to change.
In this video we look at why the forcefield, identified by Kurt Lewin, can make change difficult to do alone especially if you are not aware there is a forcefield in place. We will also look at tactics that will help you implement the changes you need to make in order to attain your goals and successes.
Using the stages of grief identified by Kubler-Ross, we are now able to map our journey through change and identify where we are along the curve. This knowledge can help to motivate you forward and also to seek the right intervention or information if you get stuck at any point.
Seeking feedback and accepting it well are fundamental to improving our game. If you treat feedback as failure then it can derail you and sometimes on a permanent basis. Here we look at strategies for when things go wrong and the driving force of persistence to help get us to the finish line.
Brook Castillo, life coach trainer, looks at how to achieve success from failure by making failure a goal in itself. This article has been amended from the original to keep it in context of this course.
Time management has been a tool for business for many decades but it is also a useful one to adopt when on a journal to personal success. Focus will help you to eliminate a lot of wasted time and effort, just by getting clear about what's what.
Limiting beliefs can be one of the biggest challenges to progress. They can restrain us from developing our potential and keep us small in the face of challenges. Adopting enabling beliefs through guided work, which we cover in this video, can help to promote you and bring you closer to the life you want.
Supportive habits can provide the necessary automatic actions to make short work of your goals. They can be small actions that over a period of time deliver a massive result. Habits can be created and the making of a habit is assisted by having the right guiding structure.
Visualisation is a powerful tool emanating from our imaginations. To be able to visualise your end result vividly and with senses included will assist the mechanics of your mind to fill in the missing parts in reality. Combine this with the creation of luck in you life and you are on a fast track to you aims.
Modelling, the act of finding a role model and duplicating their processes for success, is a great hack to utilise when starting out on your goals. Using key motivators and watching what you put in and put out will all contribute to accelerating your journey and lessening what feels like hard work.
Creating actions for the sake of them is a predetermined condition. We have the innate desire to act rather than not act for the illusion of control. Being mindful of this and implementing strategies to assess the level of intervention needed will prevent you going over board on the doing. It's also important to look after your biggest and most important asset on this journey through you. You.
A review of the lessons learned throughout the course and more encouragement to move into action rather than planning.
What is your BHAG? I learnt the term BHAG years ago (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) on a training day and it's something I have never forgotten. In fact it set the wheels in motion to start my own coaching practice.
Setting and achieving real goals, and not just the goals around things we can do, or think we can do, is a great way of enhancing your life and accelerating your journey to success.
'All progress takes place outside of the comfort zone' - Michael John Bobak
Once we had identified our BHAG, we were asked how we would achieve it. The answer?
The same way you eat an elephant. ELEPHANT BURGERS! Make the big goal lots of manageable actions.
Today, people have the BHAG of being a 'success', but many don't really have an idea of what that is, or how to get there. In this course we look at the core theories, tools and mechanisms for making lasting change to achieve your personal definition of success.
Drawing on evidence based practices and the work of scientists, therapists and authors you will have all the underpinning knowledge to start, and continue, the cycle of change that is ever present.
The tutorial videos are loaded with information and are direct and to the point. The course covers topics such as:
Effective goal setting
Your current life situation
What your key resistors are
Your key motivators
Assess the risks associated with your goal
The cycles and curves of change and success
How to reduce resistance
Your personal 'forcefield'
How to fail
Beliefs

Habits and more...
We look at real life examples of commitment and persistence to help you deepen your understanding of what is required to achieve your outcome. There are also worksheets and download-able resources to help you with your learning as well as templates for practical support as you start to define your objectives and make goals.
