The Right
Resolution
|
| What it
is |
A commitment to do something
differently in the coming year that was chosen
by YOU
for YOU
because YOU want it.
|
| Why it's
Important |
Confidence is created from the
inside out by first knowing what you want and what you’re good at.
Creating goals
that play to your strengths and desires positions you well to achieve
them.
|
| The
Problem |
Change is
hard and we make it harder by shooting for the moon, going it alone, or changing to
please others.
About 80% will break resolutions and miss the chance to bolster their confidence.

The
Tip
5 questions to help
your child leverage strength, desire, and support.
|
|
Question 1: Clarify Strengths
|
“What
are you good at doing?”
|
|
Question 2: Clarify
Desire
|
“What do
you want to have by the end of next year?”
|
|
Question 3:
Personal Benefit
|
“What
will be possible if you get it?”
|
| Question
4: Leverage Strength |
“How can you
use your talent/strength to get what you want?” |
| Question
5: Feed
Willpower |
“How can
I help you each day so that you get what you want?”
|
These questions will help you influence and
guide your child into making the right resolution and then establish you as a source of energy and power to get the
job done.
Unless the resolution is harmful to your child
or others or will break laws, put your oar in the water and help
him row to the other of change.
