Two Most Important Questions in Setting Goals

Two Most Important Questions in Setting Goals

 

 

In a highly cognitive culture, where everything is driven by our mind, when we set goals and create to-do lists, we miss the most important part that determines our experience and success in achieving these goals.

It includes two questions:

How do I feel about my goals? (How do I really feel about my goals?)
How do I want to feel?

Then expand on them with these questions:
How will I feel when I achieve them?
How do I want to feel achieving them?

Add these questions to your daily, weekly, monthly, annual goal setting rituals and see how things shift and change in a positive trajectory.

Imagine doing this inquiry not only individually and personally, but at a team level and organizational level.

What do you think can change if we ask these questions as teams and organizations?

I am honored and delighted to share my heartfelt testimonial for Anna Annette, who has played an instrumental role in transforming my life in ways I never thought possible.

…just really want to say thank you for today! It really was great! Really appreciate your calming demeanor and I think everyone responded well and I loved the participation!  27 people in this meeting, but the reach will be felt much further than the group today!  Thank you again!

"Everyone loved it."

Lisa Jacobi, Chief of HR at COCC

We had the opportunity for Anna to come out for a few team sessions at COCC. Most recently, she ran a mindfulness session for our entire HR team. It was a fantastic exercise for the team to break away from the day-to-day and go through a session together. Personally, I think it was great that we did it on a Friday afternoon together to start the weekend with a clear mind! The small group breakout sessions were great too. Definitely a different approach to mindfulness with plants!

Empowering ourselves to grow with "self-coaching" techniques in today's climate of multiple changes is one description of Anna's 5-step "The Flow To Transformation" system. I have participated in her class in different settings and always walked away stronger in my ability to tap into my inner power and to make better decisions from a place of calm and inspiration. Anna's background in psychology and business finance helped develop this approach that's been used for years with both individuals and organizational teams.

" For years, I have had others tell me, “what you focus on is delivered.” I believed them, just not wholeheartedly, until I met Anna. Since I started working Anna, I have never felt better.

The incredible transformation of feeling into pain, and coming out of it with clarity, has been life changing for me. She gives you tools and guidance to help strengthen your core, and resolve your inner turmoil; which, in turn, helps you navigate your life in a more peaceful, harmonious way; while achieving results you never thought possible.

I can’t recommend Anna’s work highly enough, she is truly a gift.“

Debbie Perillo, HR Leader

*****

Anna gets to the heart of the matter in every issue she addresses. I am continually blown away by what can get dealt with using an activation. After an activation I feel calm, grounded and confident. They really help strengthen my connection to self, and realign with my natural state. Anna is so respectful of everyone's journey. I admire her expertise, commitment, and passion. I highly recommend her.
