If you’ve recently tried to make a big shift whether in your team, professional life, personal life, or health you’ve likely realised one thing: it’s nearly impossible to do it alone.
Sure, you can download the latest app to help you along the way. From calorie counters to marathon trainers, there’s no shortage of tools designed to nudge you toward progress. But here’s the catch: progress often feels incomplete if it hasn’t become a lasting habit, a fundamental shift or a true transformation.
Take my own journey, for example. After years of frustratingly tweaking my fitness and nutrition routines, I was literally running in circles with it. It wasn’t until I reached out to a gym and nutrition junkie that things started to click. I needed to understand what truly drove the change I was seeking. I had to learn a new approach, grasp the science behind input and output, and, in my case, figure out how to manage my tastebud triggers. That’s when my transformation began - yet only with the help of someone that was more than a few steps ahead of me.
As Bloomberg’s mastery article highlights How to set goals without sucking the joy out it, goals alone won’t inherently motivate you. True motivation comes when the process, the step-by-step learning, leads to the transformation you’re after. Without that, even the most advanced app or device will only begin to nag and pester you - increasing your sense that the goal is always out of reach...
Mastery, however, changes everything. It can be self-guided (though that often takes much longer), or it can be accelerated by connecting with someone who has the knowledge, experience or insight you need. This is where mentorship and collaboration come into play.
Seeking shifts and transformation, asks of ourselves Show me what I can really do? And often, the answer comes from others: mentors, guides, and peers who show us what’s possible and make it tangible, relatable, and possible.
