Yesterday, I presented the introduction to the Leaders Learning Circle for Women in Business, which I am hosting from November to May next year.

I asked the women who attended a specific set of questions:

• At the end of the experience in May 2024, what would you love to be celebrating?
• What would you be noticing about yourself?
• What would you be noticing about your business?
• What would others notice?

It is a practical way of putting Covey’s Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind into practice. In solution-focused coaching it is describing ‘Future Perfect’ (Jackson & McKergow, The Solutions Focus 2007)

There was a time when I thought visualising was a bit woo-woo. Now, I am delighted every time I see it referenced in business and leadership texts.

It’s worth taking just five minutes to think about your responses. What would you love to be celebrating in 6 months? What would you be noticing?
