Remember getting gold stars in school
when you were a kid?
Or an A+ on a term paper?
The idea was to reward children for
completing a task - and completing it to the standard of the 'grading' adult…
An interesting concept and one we can
certainly understand, but…
The take-away that we tend to grow up
with is that nothing but 100% counts…
Can you see how this might be
crippling? How many times in real life
do we hit that level?
What do we tell ourselves when we don't?
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…
CREATE YOUR OWN COUP STICK
Think about what you have actually accomplished
in the last week…
How much credit have you actually given
yourself for what you did do instead of scolding yourself for what you didn't
do?
Imagine creating your own 'coup
stick'. What would it look like?
Now imagine that you make a mark for each
mini step you take…
How does this change your attitude towards
getting things done and reaching your goals?
