April Workshop · Working Powerfully with Goals

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

I’ve been finding that most people work with goals in one of three ways:

  1. They avoid setting goals because of fear of failing, feeling inadequate, or feeling forced to stick to them out of obligation;
  2. They make goals but force themselves to stick to them, but doing it out of obligation or “have to” instead of feeling inspired; or
  3. They set some goals that they’re not really committed to, staying safe and letting themselves off the hook.

These are all disempowered ways to work with goals. They leave us feeling a bit powerless to create the life and the world we want.

In our April Fearless Living Academy workshop, called “Working Powerfully with Goals,” we’ll be looking at a more powerful model.

Topics we’ll cover include:

  • Understanding how we keep ourselves safe (and disempowered)
  • Learning to bring awareness and love to these patterns
  • Noticing what impact this has on us
  • A more powerful way to work with goals
  • How to practice with this empowered way

This 90-minute workshop will include my teaching, as well as time for coaching and questions.

Join Fearless Living Academy to participate in this live session and explore a more empowered way to work with your goals.

with gratitude,
Leo

The most common blocker I’ve found for creators, entrepreneurs and leaders is the feeling that you’re not ready yet. This single feeling is responsible for people delaying their creations and businesses, looking for answers outside themselves, and staying stuck for much longer than needed. It’s simply self-doubt. This is why July's Fearless Living Academy workshop is called, “Shipping Before You Feel You're Ready” … we’re going to look at how to overcome that doubt and leap into the unknown...

Often we get stuck in choosing what path to take — if you’re at a crossroads, or in the middle of a life transition, getting clarity and choosing can feel impossible. When the choices feel uncertain and complicated, and the future feels unclear … we can take “I don’t know” as the final answer, or run from the decision through distractions. But this leaves us stuck. There’s a more liberating way, and I’m going to share that in our June Fearless Living Academy workshop, called “The Practice of...

We don’t often realize it, but we’re mostly living out a version of ourselves that we’ve decided to be a while ago. This isn’t a bad version, but it’s often stuck in outdated ideas about who we have to be. There’s also a version of you that already knows how to do the thing you’d like to do. It’s not about knowledge, or even being capable of it — it’s about how you see yourself. Who you’re being when you face the work — and who you need to be, for the purpose in front of you. This month’s...
