Achieving Goals: Mindset, Skillset, Toolset

In continuing with our January focus of transcending barriers and achieving goals this episode is all about success systems and how to assess and strengthen our mindset, skillset, and toolset.

“You do not rise to the level of your goals, but you fall to the level of your systems” (James Clear, 2018, Atomic Habits). Too often we spend a lot of time creating and focusing on goals, when what we really need to do is to focus on the systems necessary to achieve the goal.

Research confirms many unique barriers that we as women encounter that are systemic, organizational biases…not our fault, but definitely our problem! So, we need to be especially mindful of creating intentional, actionable, steps, engaging in a strategic process that disrupt the bias patterns that create barriers to achieving our bold, radical, audacious goals.

Forewarned is forearmed. Identifying the problem and considering solutions WITH EYES WIDE OPEN provides the clarity we need to be proactive. When we see the patterns of bias in the situation, we can respond in a way that better serve our advancement. This is the “Process” P in the 4 Ps Advancement Model. When we see the barriers, we must use process to deconstruct the moving parts so we can clearly and accurately see whether this is a mindset, skillset, or tool set problem and respond accordingly.

This episode will help answer these important questions when we encounter barriers: What is the real problem here? Is this about shifting my mindset? Is it about enhancing my skill set? Do I need to add to my tool set? Achieving goals is about what you think (mindset), what you know (skillset), and what you do (toolset).
