Skill #6
SMART next steps to one thing
Prioritising tasks and taking one step at a time towards your goals
And now for the cocktails...
Imagine you are mixing a cocktail, which ingredients do you need and in what order must they be added. In any good recipe taking the right steps in the right order is important.
In your conversation, what steps do you need to progress well?
"in order to say yes to your priorities, you have to be willing to say no to some things"
Clarity and understanding are prerequisites for focusing efforts and energy
An important context for success through conversations is that it happens one conversation at a time. The SMART next steps are about breaking down your progress into one interaction at a time and conversations that will move you towards outcomes you are looking for.
You can't do anything about the past, and the future is not here yet, so all you have is the present and the next step you are taking now.

4. What did you learn, and what could you do differently now?
