One of our favorite exercises that we have all of our employees take on is building out their perfect day.
It can teach someone a lot about themselves and where they thrive, and it allows us as a business to put them in roles that come effortlessly to them, creating a win-win scenario.
But over years of running this exercise, we've also seen downsides to focusing too much attention on the perfect day.
Often, coaches get so focused on their perfect day early in their careers that they become impatient. They say no to opportunities that could help them grow, because they can't directly connect that opportunity to their perfect day.
Or coaches become so focused on "work/life balance" that they are quick to judge themselves if they are feeling even a little off-balanced. This begins a cycle of seeing work as an obligation, instead of something they love doing.
In today's episode, we dive into some of the downsides of the perfect day exercise, and how you can use this exercise to help you thrive instead of making you susceptible to burnout.
