====================

Do you ever do something so often or talk about something so often that you don't even think about it? Does that make sense?

By the time this podcast first airs, I will have had my coaching practice for 14 years. I spent my first few years helping other people apply models for personal and professional growth. As I gained experience, my own models began to emerge. I talk about these models all the time, but not always in an obvious way. I can kind of take them for granted or forget that other people don't know about them yet.

So, I'm going to get obvious with you over the next few episodes and share one of my most fundamental models with you —The GPS Model.

GPS in my world stands for:
➥ Gather
➥ Process
➥ Systems Check

In this episode, I start with “Gather”.

“I think of gathering as placing undecided, unconsidered and/or non-urgent things in a safe place until you can do something about them.” ~ Elise

Your main takeaway from this episode – working on making your gathering more intentional.

  1. Minimize the number of gathering spaces you have.
  2. Keep those gathering spaces close.
  3. Empty them frequently and consistently. (We'll talk more about this in the next episode.)


So you know what's coming next right? The question of the week.

What is ONE way you will make your gathering spaces more intentional this week?
