When you’re a busy person with a lot on your plate, it can be difficult to stay on track of your own goals and plan out how you’ll achieve them. Suzi Butcher is a personal strategy coach, and in this live chat with Elizabeth, she shares her story and the one tool she uses to keep herself focused on the future. She works with clients seeking a life change, such as a new career direction, and helps them make their dreams a reality.
Suzi begins by telling Elizabeth how she transitioned from journalism to coaching and the mindset shift she had to make to turn her ‘Plan B’ into a ‘Plan A’. She gives lots of other great tips to people in a similar position, including how finding part-time or flexible work can tide you over until you’re ready to make the leap. She then shares her Trello board template, a great tool to keep you on track to achieve your goals, with lists of your daily and weekly goals, inspirational quotes, and a reminder to celebrate the milestones you’ve reached along the way.
This is a really inspiring talk with loads of practical information and resources that can help you get to where you want to be. For further support in your career journey, check out more of Elizabeth’s interviews with other special guests here.
