After yesterday's article I got to thinking about what additional destinations were important when it comes to creating a clear image of what it is you want in life.  I had lots of different ideas and they all seemed valid so I decided to wait until the end of my day to allow the clarity to come through and then decide what to share with you

Today I spent the day as a participant in an enlightening workshop as part of an alumni program for a Business Breakthrough program I participated in back in May last year (check out the next one happening in Perth this coming March).  The focus of today was on DISC profiling.  Forgive me if you know what DISC is as a profiling tool but I'm going to give a really brief introduction here.  DISC is essentially a personality profiling tool that helps us to better understand ourselves and others.  There are many profiling tools out there that do similar things and all give us critical insights into our unique selves.  That, for me, is the awesome bit and the stuff that enables me to grow! 

I love learning about people, stretching myself to learn more and gain more understanding about myself and others and to sharing my knowledge with other people so they too can be more enlightened, if you like.  At the very least I am opening up opportunities and possibilities that perhaps did not exist before hand
Here's some of my favourite Growth quotes for added inspiration;

"The only journey is the journey within" ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

"Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still"
Chinese Proverb

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom" ~ Aristotle

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever" ~ Mahatma Gandhi

“The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live" ~ Mortimer Adler

_I love profling tools so much that I actually took my decades of learning and created my own Leadership Archetype Model for women.  It's a paradigm shifting framework that allows you to increase your understanding of your personal leadership style.  This in turn offers you a way to leverage your natural, innate strengths, integrate your areas of opportunity (key growth potentials), define your personal story, identify with what makes you tick, what motivates you and how you create in the world and more

The essential thing though is that this framework and all others I've ever come across, are essential tools for growth.  If you are serious about your business, your career, your life and serious about creating a life you really do love because it effortlessly reflects the awesome you then you've got to grow.  But, as with yesterday's reflection and Innovation Challenge, what is your destination growth?  What does it mean to you to grow?  How do you know when growth has occured?  How do you measure growth?  Why would you even want to grow?  (yes.... more questions!!  I'm not going to apologise for them... they offer another framework for discovery, which I have decided is my word for the day DISCovery)

Drum roll please........ no guesses about what today's Innovation Challenge is;

"What is your destination growth?"

(feel free to answer all the questions above - they'll help you get really clear and make your destination statement so much more powerful)

Wonder where I'll take you tomorrow?  mmmmmm..........

Wishing you succulent, effortless success,

Shannon
