Coaching Corner: 20/20 Vision

Coaching Corner: 20/20 Vision

Sep 20, 2019

By Marilou Butcher Roth, Master Coach

This past week Ohio REALTORS held its Annual Convention in my hometown of Cincinnati. For those of you who were there, you already know how amazing it was. For those who didn’t make it, plan for Cleveland next year and you will see for yourself.

Speaking of seeing...our 2020 president, Chris Reese was installed on Tuesday night, along with her fellow officers and executive committee. Chris’ theme for her year is “20/20 Vision -- Seeing Clearly Together.” Ah, seeing clearly -- isn’t that something we all desire?

We want to see clearly as we make choices in life. We want to see clearly as we navigate those choices. We want to see clearly as we communicate with others. We want to see clearly in everything we do! And, the reality is, sometimes our vision is blurred.

To have the ability to see our life clearly, we need to increase our self awareness, paying attention to the clues that come our way. Rather than going into a space of, “this is how its always been” or “this never works for me” find your way through these old beliefs into the clarity of your desire.

For example, when you catch yourself “shoulding," (i.e. “ I should...”) ask yourself first why you “should.” Then move to the next most important question of “what I really want in this situation is ...” If your “should” and your “want” are a match, you are good to go. If your “should” is something totally different from what you truly want, you have some decisions to make. Either way, you now have some clarity!

This is an ongoing process and takes practice. Finding your clarity is worth it, so this week (and always), pay attention to your "shoulds" and "wants" and bring your inner vision to 20/20!
