877: Whats Your Ideal Outcome?
Many of my coaching clients, business and executive coaching clients alike, come to me to talk through the options that lie in front of them.\xa0Often times, it seems they are faced with two options and both have pros and cons.\xa0While the pros might look exciting, the cons are just the opposite.\xa0They can fill one with dread, if not total anxiety.\xa0\nWhat I have noticed time and time again is that when we think there are only two options, we are telling ourselves a little lie.\xa0The truth is, in most situations, there are more options.\xa0They just might not be as obvious.\xa0It might take some creativity, and outside influence to see that they exist.\xa0\nI was recently working with an executive coaching client who had two options in front of her.\xa0Both had some serious pros - exciting components she hadn\u2019t seen coming.\xa0And\u2026 both had some serious cons.\xa0As we talked through which option might be the best for her right now, we both felt unsettled with each option.\xa0So, I asked her a simple question, \u201cWhat would be an ideal outcome for you in this situation?\u201d\xa0\nIn talking through what she really wanted out of this situation, a third option begann to arise.\xa0As we talked through the third option, she started to get excited.\xa0She realized she could make up a third option out of the best parts of the two options that had been presented to her.\xa0We left this call with her feeling so much clarity and optimism.\xa0\nIn this episode, I walk you through three questions to ask yourself when you\u2019re on the brink of making a decision.\xa0Then, I give you three ways to dig deep to discover options that might not be immediately presenting themselves.\xa0\n\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
