💥𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡?💥

"𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭!" That's a pretty bold and yet very common statement I hear from my clients, in coaching and leadership trainings.

⁉ And now what?

You can't really make an impact if you don't know the type of impact you are talking about. 

Very much like success, happiness, ... as long as you do not define clearly what it means for you and why it matters to you, it remains a "feel good" statement lacking some substance. ☁ 

If you are serious about YOUR impact, here is a simple framework to start:

1️⃣ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭::

✅ WHY ->Define and understand your values. They are your strong drivers.

✅ WHAT -> Know your passions and beliefs. What is really moving you? What do you believe in?

✅ HOW -> Own your #strengths, they are your unique signature, your DNA to make things happen.

2️⃣ 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

✅ WHO -> Collaborate and connect on issues and topics that matter to you (from networking to communities of practice) 

✅ WHAT -> Clarify your goals: spend your time wisely and strategically on these (make your plan)

✅ HOW -> Learning, sharing, exposure and knowledge will improve your impact (think #mentoring).

Whether your impact aspiration is (check all that apply):

✔ making the world a better place 

✔ giving to others

✔ becoming a thought leader in your area of expertise 

✔ being a role model for younger (female) professionals

✔ inspiring your kids 

✔ others... 

...being intentional about your impact will ensure you do it for real. 

And because people get inspired by people, 

It will create ripple effects, 

Generate more impact,

It is as simple as that, 

It is contagious🌟 

And you, what's your impact? 👀
