Courageous goals and non-linear planning
Setting up for success
Setting goals, creating plans to achieve them, and working at those plans in the best way for us is the most powerful way to get where we want to be.
However many people find themselves getting stuck, unable to make the leaps needed or self-sabotaging their success.
There are many areas of your life that you may want to set goals for, such as; career, finances, family, relationships, health and wellness (physical and mental), self-growth, learning, travel, social life, spirituality, creativity… and so much more.
Whatever your goal, at some point you will usually need to step outside your comfort zone and do something different. This is the point where things can get stuck and feel really tricky, or scary, or just impossible.
The first step is to look at why you’re setting the goal – get clarity on what it means to you, and what you will gain (and lose). This will tell you a lot about your motivations and whether it’s something you truly want, or a “should”.
After exploring the goal, the next step is to create a plan to achieve your goal. This usually looks like a timeline of mini-goals that lead up to the big finale. However, these aren’t so great for anything that involves humans, with all their variability and humanness. I use non-linear approaches with my clients to work with and embrace the uniqueness of their working styles and lifestyles.
Lastly, we incorporate ways to work best for you, allowing you to access a ‘flow’ state and get the most out of your time. And enjoy it!
To support this process, the blend of hypnotherapy and coaching can also help you to:
- Overcome your unhelpful beliefs and reprogram your thought patterns and behaviour to be in alignment with your goals.
- Grow your resilience to emerging challenges and detours on your journey to achieving your full potential.
- Help you to boost your focus, inner drive and productivity, making it easier to take action and improve your decision-making skills.
- Explore and embrace new ways of thinking to increase your creativity in your ideas and problem-solving capabilities.
- Learn relaxation techniques to help you calm your mind, reduce stress and anxiety, and create a more conducive environment for your success.

As kids we were asked what we were going to do with our lives - encouraged to be ambitious, chase success, and make a difference. As an adult, it’s not a whole lot different. The question we are most asked is what we ‘do’. A marker to measure our value to society,...
