STRATEGY OF YOUR LIFE

Plans you want to carry out
A strategy for a year, for five or twenty years
A strategy that works for you, emerging in incremental, iterative way

“I’m drowning in routine and putting out fires.”

“I feel that time and life itself slip through my fingers.”

“I think I’m not growing (or we are not growing as a company), but it is not clear what to do and where to run. There is simply no time to pause and think strategically.”

These and similar feelings and thoughts occur to many of us. And when a “critical mass” is reached, then you can think of a “strategic coaching session” or a “life strategy coaching”.

Topics for strategizing may vary: strategies for business development, building a career, building a new organization or startup, a relationship, etc.

Of course, you can try to do everything yourself. But it’s more comfortable with a coach:

- The coach believes in you more than you do. It is uplifting and inspiring.

- With a coach, you will work on your blind spots and fears (and this is often the most exciting and breakthrough topic).

Questions and answers about strategic coaching

1. What is the difference between Strategy and Tactics? - Horizon. Compare strategy that covers 5 years and tactics covering only a month. Or a negotiation strategy (for 2 hours meeting) and tactics as a plan of individual steps in the conversation.

2. What will I get at the end of a session or cycle of sessions? - Depending on the readiness and motivation of the client, the result can be a greater goal/intention being set -> greater clarity of the direction of movement and criteria -> a visual strategic plan (for a year, 5 or 20 years in one or a number of directions).

3. What tools are used? - We “jobsed” with a number of clients, that is, we walked through the woods or a park, as Steve Jobs did. The walk brings many metaphors and insights.

Today we work mostly with whiteboards (Miro) where you can draw online and visualize everything from problems and obstacles to a detailed plan and use posts/comments from the coach on Skype, Zoom, or Telegram.

4. What is the right thing to do in preparation for a “strategy session”? - Try and talk to yourself about the strategy, write down the answers, and open up new questions that we will analyze:

a) What worries me when I think about the future?

b) Why is this important to me?

c) Where would I like to be at the end of this strategy journey?

d) What will I do next?
