I’ve been asking myself this question a lot lately. For me it’s framed as “what is it going to take for the next 20 years to be the best 20 years of your life?”. What does that look like?

It’s surprising how rarely we stop and think about this. It’s at the heart of any good coaching conversation – and yet it can take a while to really surface.

What gets in the way is interesting.

We answer with what we think we’re worth. Or what we deserve. Or what feels realistic. Sometimes we answer with what others expect of us. Sometimes the answer is just… smaller than it could be.

I can usually tell when it’s not quite right. There’s no real energy in it. It feels a bit safe. A bit contained. And often, I know there’s more there.

There is tremendous power in knowing what you really want. Figure it out and honestly - you’re halfway there.
