Coach Notes: Three Signs You're Holding Onto a Goal for the Wrong Reasons
<p><strong>When commitment becomes attachment, and how to know when to continue, change or let it go.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Perseverance is often treated as an unquestioned virtue. But continuing with a goal is not always a sign of resilience, sometimes it is driven by sunk cost, fear of judgement or attachment to an outdated definition of success.</p><p>In this mini episode, Jacqui shares three signs that it may be time to honestly review a goal:</p><ul><li><p>your strongest reason for continuing is how much you have already invested</p></li><li><p>you are protecting your identity or reputation</p></li><li><p>achieving the goal would no longer feel like success</p></li></ul><p>Through leadership, career and personal examples, she explores the difference between discomfort and genuine misalignment—and offers a simple prompt to help you decide whether to continue, change direction or let go.</p><p>Because changing your mind does not mean your original judgement was poor. It may simply mean you are making a better decision with the information you have now.</p><p><br></p>
