Tomorrow marks our first call inside my new six-month group mastermind program, which has me thinking about transformation and the meaningful changes that can be accomplished in six months. I’m giving you a framework that will help you evaluate and measure your progress so you don’t find yourself at the end of your journey unable to appreciate just how much you’ve transformed.
 
I review the triple loop transformation: a model designed to help you identify the different layers at which you can transform. Hear how the triple loop learning model gives you an additional lens through which you can perceive your own transformation, what’s required of you for transformation to fully take effect, and an exercise that will help you create your own triple loop transformation framework.

Do you identify as a perfectionist? If so, are you aware of where and how it’s holding you back? The Pareto Principle is a powerful antidote to lawyer perfectionism, and I’m showing you why it’s so effective and how you can apply it to your practice right now.
 
Learn how the Pareto Principle counterbalances perfectionism and how you can use this framework to your advantage. Hear how it can help you manage your time better, create relationships more intentionally, identify what’s holding you back from your goals, and what happens when you’re in the practice of using this simple formula to manage your perfectionism.

We all wish we could only be in relationships with the most wonderful people who make us feel amazing, but the reality is there are always going to be people in your life who you find stressful.

Learn what the concept of "expect and accept" entails, and why it’s a game-changer when it comes to de-escalating difficult conversations or stressful situations. Hear why resisting stressful people isn’t an effective long-term strategy, how your current coping mechanisms might not be serving you, and what happens when you recalibrate your expectations of other people.

This mid-year mark is the perfect time to check in, see how you’re doing, and assess how you want to spend the balance of the year. If you have a gnawing feeling that you have more on your plate than you want or need and you’re tired of feeling weighed down, a mid-year reset could be the ultimate way to pare things down so you can speed up your growth over the rest of 2024.
 
Listen in this week to hear why a mid-year reset offers the perfect opportunity to begin letting things go for a stronger, leaner foundation for the rest of the year. I’m showing you why sustainable growth involves letting go, how to begin identifying what’s currently holding you back, and what happens when you build the habit of taking things off your plate.
