Getting Clear About the Goal and What Matters
It's episode72.
In this episode Dave poses a challenge - as well as identifying the things you don't like or want and working to do less of them, what about the ok stuff? The things that you like doing or experiencing but don't love? Do they crowd out your REAL goals - the things you REALLY REALLY want to achieve? If so, what about removing some of the 'likes' too? Dave is joined by Dr Elaine Cox, Author, Academic and Founding Editor of the International Journal of Evidence Based Coaching & Mentoring.
