How You Doin’… on Those Goals?
5 ways coaching can get you moving again.
We’re nearly six months into the year. Did you hit the milestones you set back in January? How about last year? Did you accomplish what you intended to do? Or is there still something on your list that keeps getting pushed to the back burner?
If you’re like most people, the answer is: not quite.
You probably got sidetracked. Not because you’re lazy or unmotivated, but because life got in the way. Requests from your boss, your team, your family. Inbox overload. Constant demands that feel urgent but don’t actually move you closer to what matters most.
So if you’re tired of running in circles and ready to get traction, here’s one thing that can make a difference:
Work with a coach.
You can keep getting the same results or try a different approach.
5 Ways a Coach Can Help You Reach Your Goals
1. A coach helps you figure out what you really want to achieve.
You might think you know your goal, but when was the last time you actually stepped back to define it clearly? When you’re being pulled in every direction (bosses, employees, family, texts, emails, meetings…), it’s easy to lose sight of what actually matters. A good coach helps you sort through the noise, challenge your assumptions, and zero in on what’s most important, often uncovering a different, more meaningful goal in the process.
2. A coach helps you connect to your why.
Knowing what you want isn’t enough. You need to know why it matters. That sense of purpose is what fuels persistence, especially when the distractions start piling up. Your coach helps you anchor to that purpose, so when you feel overwhelmed, you remember what you’re working toward and why it’s worth it.
3. A coach gives you perspective.
Let’s be honest: when you’re in it, everything feels important. A coach helps you zoom out and evaluate your priorities with fresh eyes. They’re a neutral sounding board who can help you weigh tradeoffs, challenge your assumptions, and stay focused on what’s essential.
4. A coach keeps you accountable.
Accountability isn’t about being micromanaged. It’s about commitment. A coach helps you break big goals into concrete steps, set meaningful deadlines, and follow through—even when motivation dips. They’ll support you and hold your feet to the fire.
5. A coach helps you keep going after the goal is reached.
One of the biggest mistakes people make? Stopping once the goal is met. But real growth comes from building momentum. A coach will help you reflect on what worked, identify the next opportunity, and keep you moving forward with purpose and direction.
The Bottom Line
A coach won’t do the work for you, but they will walk alongside you, challenge you, and make sure you don’t lose sight of what matters.
Just imagine what your year could look like if you actually accomplished what you set out to do. Not just checking off tasks, but making real progress on the things that matter most. The things that move your career, your confidence, and your life forward.
So don’t let another year slip by in Groundhog Day mode.
✅ Decide that this is the year you focus on what’s important.
✅ Decide to stop spinning your wheels.
✅ Decide to invest in you.
