Episode Synopsis

This week's podcast sits squarely in the awkward space between desire and achievement.Fairly consistently, large reputable surveys will find that a large proportion of the populace is looking to improve themselves, achieve more, or reach a fulfilling life. Yet we also know from other research that people generally are going about it the wrong way, and they are not overcoming their obstacles and achieving their goals.Today's podcast is focused on the top 4 reasons why people or teams do not achieve their improvement goals, and what you can do about it.I started writing this podcast focused on individuals but quickly realized it has relevance for the transformation work I do with teams and organizations.In this podcast, I immediately go straight to the heart of the matter. We look at the four top reasons based on surveys, research, and mainly my experience. For each of these four reasons, I give you the top ways you can overcome or address that challenge.In most of the cases I outline here, I have already recorded podcasts that outline frameworks and solutions to these challenges.Links to Previous Podcasts Mentioned in This RecordingIn this week's podcast, I mentioned several other previous podcasts.
