Before we embark on setting goals, let's first establish an understanding of where things currently stand.
Below, you'll find a series of questions aimed at fostering balanced leadership growth across eight key areas:
Relationships
Family and Friends
Physical Health
Business Development
Financial Management
Mental Well-being
Spiritual Growth
Lifestyle Preferences
You might be thinking, "That's quite a list!" But bear with me.
Most people excel in one life area at the sacrifice of everything else in thier lives. Many of these questions might seem unconventional for a business assessment. Here's why:
I grew up in the midwestern heart of blue-collar America. The themes we delve into at RVA were never discussed. Anybody with a similar upbringing can probably relate. People might discuss work-life balance, leadership, or personal development in church settings, but rarely elsewhere. This reluctance to discuss our deeper selves often results in burn out at work and shakey personal lives. Therefore, some questions might feel a bit intimate or challenging. But their purpose is to unearth insights that can shape you into a better manager, leader, and business owner. What we do next with this information will guide your future discussions, and lay a foundation for a balanced and rewarding future for everyone in the business.
My influences that shape RVA range from insights gleaned from submarine commanders and Navy SEAL's to lessons learned from conservationists in the African wilderness and globally successful entrepreneurs. So, if some of the world's toughest leaders can embrace vulnerability, humility, and sensitivity for growth, so can you.
While certain topics might be profound, feel free to answer them with a touch of humor. Life is fleeting; cherish your journey and fellow travelers.
