Unlock the Potential of Scaling: A Tangible Approach to Goals & Growth 🚀

📈🎯Scaling is a highly effective coaching strategy that can be used to create a high level of clarity in under 60 seconds.

As a self-coaching technique, it can be used to provide a clear gauge of where you are today, where you want to be in the future and your progression daily, weekly or monthly.

When you understand the above you can start outlining the changes required to bridge this gap from your current situation to your desired outcome.

Let's illustrate this with an example to make it more tangible. Suppose you have an event or a task with a deadline – this could be a talk or a presentation at work, and it's making you anxious.😓🗓️

🌡️🎚️ Scaling becomes an excellent tool to quantify these feelings. You could score your anxiety or stress on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is the peak of anxiety and 1 is complete tranquillity (if you prefer reversing the scale that’s fine).

Try this…

1. Think about the presentation (or whatever event you’ve chosen for yourself that causes anxiety)

2. Ask yourself on a scale of 1-10 where am I in “this moment” when I think about it (let’s imagine it’s an 8)

3. Identify the “minimum” place you want to be during your presentation. Your ideal could be a 3 but the minimum could be a manageable 5. You're now targeting a shift from an 8 to a 5.🎯📉. By doing this you are setting yourself up to succeed

4. Ask yourself, what does an 8 look like? What does a 5 look like? You should be able to describe these points in the scale (this allows you to recognise progress

5. Ask yourself, what do I need to do to move from 8 to 7. So what changes need to occur for you to bring that anxiety down?Chunking down the problem in this way makes it easier to deal with

💡🚀 What's noteworthy here is that scaling helps you disengage slightly from the enveloping emotion, in this case, anxiety, and allows you to ask the critical question – how do I transition from an 8 to a 5? This question puts you into solution-focused mode, enabling you to strategies.

The beauty of scaling is its versatility – it can be flipped to measure positive states like confidence or applied practically, such as scaling the growth of a business.📈📊

👥🚀 For instance, if you're a budding entrepreneur aiming to expand your customer base from 20 to 100 in the next quarter, scaling provides a clear roadmap for that growth. While scaling can be used practically, its application to emotions is particularly powerful as it makes the intangible, tangible. It helps you concretize emotions, which can be elusive and difficult to identify, allowing for tangible shifts and changes.🔄🎯

⚡🔟 The best part about scaling? You can do it in a matter of seconds! Asking yourself, "How do I want to feel today? My confidence is low at 3, and I want it to be at 8. What do I need to do?" And there you have it – your path to progress!🎯🚀

Scaling is a versatile and efficient tool that can be applied to various aspects of your life, from managing emotions to driving growth and progress.

By quantifying your current state and setting clear targets, scaling empowers you to strategise and take action. Whether it's reducing anxiety, increasing confidence, or achieving business objectives, scaling offers a tangible roadmap to success.

So, the next time you find yourself faced with a challenge or goal, embrace the power of scaling and watch how it propels you toward your desired outcomes.🌟💪🎯
