My clients are often so close and so invested in their missions that things like physical, mental, and emotional health or “work/life balance” are often neglected, leading to strikingly high burnout rates, ultimately affecting the effectiveness of their social impact work. In the first component of our program we break it all down and build it back up, choosing intentionally how to care and fuel ourselves so that we bring our best energy to make high level, high impact decisions with ease.
We do this through taking an inventory of your personal resources, developing an emotional regulation practice, developing a regular Self-Coaching Practice, and of course monitoring progress and evaluating effective action along the way. This portion of the program is tailored to optimize the health and wellness of each client.
For many professionals whose missions center on social impact, the challenge is not working hard enough or putting oneself out there enough, it’s focusing one’s energy on the things that are most in alignment with their personal values. It’s knowing what relationships to invest more in, what relationships to withdraw deposits from, what tasks are essential for progress, what good things must be sacrificed for the chance at further realizing one’s mission and ultimately, one’s vision for the future. It’s so much more than crafting a mission statement.
We do this through a values and strengths assessment, creating and/or clarifying your current personal mission, amplifying your mission through goal setting/planning/execution, and developing a Systems Thinking Mindset. This is an opportunity for clients to grow their capacity for leadership by first simplifying then putting their foot on the gas.
For people in social impact careers, social change is the ultimate mission. This can be hard to measure for a number of reasons. The purpose of this portion of the program is to help you assess your current social impact activities and 10x all of the good stuff. Forming and building relationships will be the core of this section of the program. Through deep 1:1 work, we get to the heart of what patterns of behavior might be driving your success and what might be holding you back.
We will do this through 10x-ing your networking capacity, fortifying your relationships as assets, and diversifying your current circle of influence. We will be going deep, we will be vulnerable, and we will forge only authentic relationships.
