Seu cliente é resistente a estabelecer metas desafiadoras. Como você pode motivá-los a mirar mais alto?

Sometimes large goals can seem daunting. Break them down into smaller, manageable steps. This approach makes the goal-setting process less intimidating and more achievable. Encourage your client to celebrate small wins along the way. Acknowledging progress boosts confidence and reinforces the importance of aiming higher. Address any fears or limiting beliefs that may be holding your client back from setting challenging goals. Help them reframe negative thoughts into positive affirmations about their abilities.

Hey there! Struggling with setting challenging goals? No worries, here's how to turn that around. Start with small, achievable steps and celebrate every win.

Let's do this together! #GoalSetting #GrowthMindset #LifeCoaching #LeadershipDevelopment

Going at someone pace is not as easy as it sounds. Self reflection is key for us. They may be in pre planning stage when we feel they should already be in action stage. Dismantling the status quo is the first step to change and I often see a temps being made to change before we have supported the person to reflect on the now.

To motivate a client resistant to setting challenging goals, start by understanding the fear behind their resistance. Engage in open, empathetic conversations to uncover their concerns about failure, inadequacy, or the unknown. Validate their feelings and reassure them that it's normal to have such fears. Highlight their past successes and strengths to boost their confidence. Gradually introduce the idea of stretching their limits by setting smaller, incremental goals that lead up to more challenging ones. By addressing their fears with empathy and building their confidence step by step, you can encourage them to aim higher without overwhelming them.

I believe you cannot take someone where they are not ready to go. For me I would work with them where they are and work with their small wins as a leverage for more daring goals.

To build confidence but not just that but to discover and rediscover the true essence in oneself which is unique with its own special talents and gifts.. this leads to self worth and eventually self assurance, self possession and confidence

Following on from recognising fear and breaking the goal into manageable steps, I work with clients to celebrate success along the way, this helps to build confidence. Looking back at what the concerns/challenges were, how they have overcome them and where they are now. When a client starts to recognise their own success then personal growth commences.

When clients resist setting challenging goals, I focus on building their confidence: Start Small: Begin with achievable goals. For example, Rina improved her public speaking before leading a project. Highlight Achievements: Remind them of past successes, like previous successful project, to boost confidence. Positive Reinforcement: Regularly acknowledge progress Visualize Success: Use visualization, like imagining receiving an award. Encourage Growth Mindset: Teach that challenges are learning opportunities. Provide Support: Offer resources and mentorship. This approach helps clients see their potential and aim higher.

Vertrauen bedeutet gleichzeitig Selbstvertrauen. So kann es sein, dass trotz anerkannter Erfolge das Vertrauen in sich selbst nicht stabil genug ist. Die Erinnerung vergangener Erfolge ist mitunter hilfreich, kann aber auch in eine Widerstandshaltung münden. Erfolgversprechender erscheint der Ansatz, nur die Submodalitäten von Erfolgen zu verwenden, um einer unbewussten Gegenbewegung entgegen zu wirken.

When working to motivate a client who's resistant to setting challenging goals, it's important to help them reframe and foster resilience. Energy follows focus. If we're focusing on the challenge of an obstacle, that's what we'll manifest. When we reframe a challenge, we're inviting our attention to focus instead on the opportunity—thus bringing it into possibility. Oftentimes, we'll find that true possibility/success sparks a greater fear and discomfort than one of the known/failure. This is where fostering resilience is key, as the more we can become comfortable with discomfort, the more we can lean into our growth edges—and claim a future that lies just beyond what we know.

Challenges are incredibly personal and what is challenging for one person may be a breeze for another. Reframing is a brilliant tool but not always the answer for something that challenges a person as there are any number of reasons that something becomes challenging to someone.

Partagez des histoires de personnes ou d'entreprises qui ont transformé des défis en opportunités de croissance et de succès. Ces exemples inspirants peuvent démontrer que des obstacles apparents peuvent conduire à des résultats extraordinaires. Incitez votre client à voir les défis comme des expériences à tenter plutôt que des épreuves à surmonter. En encourageant une mentalité d'expérimentation, chaque défi devient une occasion d'apprendre et de s'améliorer. Renforcez l'idée que les compétences et les capacités peuvent se développer avec le temps et l'effort. Une mentalité de croissance aide à voir les défis comme des opportunités d'apprentissage et de développement personnel.

Perhaps what you view as not challenging is challenging for them from their point of view. Perhaps your perspective is irrelevant.

Start with tiny, attainable, interim goals that can build to the larger destination. The larger goal may seem impossible because it is too distant and too large.

Clarify what success means to them and then break the big more distant goals down into SMART goals. Tracking these and celebrating successes keeps motivation and energy up!

To overcome resistance to setting goals I would first focus on helping my client get clear on her strongest values and how she wants to express them through her work. This is the basis of a strong sense of purpose and motivation. Where goals are based on aspirational values I would interrogate the underlying avoidant values and work with her to diminish the avoidant value and strengthen the aspirational value. I would then help her create a detailed vision that she believes she can reach. At this point she has the clarity and motivation to plan the steps/goals needed to reach her big visionary goal.

L'important n'est pas l'objectif à atteindre en tant que tel mais le chemin parcouru pour y arriver. Et ce chemin, il doit rester atteignable, d'où l'importance de fixer des petits pas peut-être moins "ambitieux" mais qu'on peut célébrer comme progrès et additionner pour atteindre de plus grandes victoires. Les grandes victoires sont TOUJOURS la somme de plus petites victoires en amont.

Somos catadores de ganhos. Os pequenos e grandes ganhos precisam ser celebrados. Conquistas precisam ser celebradas. Sabemos da importância disso no processo, ensine isso ao seu cliente e verá a transformação acontecer.

I get that setting challenging goals can be tough. One way to overcome this is by fostering accountability. For example, when I wanted to improve my public speaking, I joined a group where I had to present weekly. Knowing they were expecting me kept me motivated. Similarly, I once helped a client who shared weekly updates with a friend. This accountability made her push herself more. So, find someone who can check in on your progress. It’ll help you stay committed and motivated to aim higher!

Accountability is an excellent tool that can ensure action gets taken and tasks get completed. The reasons for resistance in setting challenging goals, inaction or hesitation could be deeply embedded emotional experiences from childhood or traumatic experiences elsewhere in life. As coaches we need to be careful that we aren't pushing an agenda (either ours or someone else's) onto the client.

It’s not my job as a solution-focused therapist to motivate my clients to aim higher! Let me explain. We can only be truly motivated if we ‘own it;’ intrinsic motivation doesn’t need to be pushed. If I help a client find the goals they genuinely want to achieve, then they experience a sense of excitement, that wonderful feeling of jumping out of bed in the morning because they are excited about what the day ahead may hold.

I guess it would help to understand the client’s perspective of what is challenging. What may be challenging to me may be overwhelming to the client. Find the scale, and see whether there is something that is just outside the comfort zone that the client is willing to work with. I am also a believer in baby steps. Any small progress is still progress. Chunk down the goals and see whether mini-goals will help the client.

The biggest thing coaches forget is that the client has to stay engaged in the sessions. When we are talking about goalsetting, I will ask a client to make a bucket list of 25 things they want to do before they die. This helps them set goals and also creates a fun activity that they have to look forward to.

Actually, I don't agree that I should encourage clients to aim for more challenging goals. I am there to support the client, not judge them or the goals they are trying to achieve. By building their confidence, helping them to remember their previous successes and giving them space to think, reflect and plan they will want to achieve more and continue to see successes. In addition to building this belief in themselves, by providing them with unconditional support and faith in their abilities to achieve whatever is best for them, clients will develop goals that challenge them.

Die Kenntnis über systemische Zusammenhänge des Klienten ergeben ein gutes Bild, um auf den entscheidenden Ebenen zu intervenieren. Auf die bekannte"du schaffst das" Motivation kann man getrost verzichten.
