Coaching practices for What Do You Need From Me This Week
Describe almost anything you are working through and IX Coach finds the practices whose real-world fit is closest. For What Do You Need From Me This Week, these are the strongest matches in the current practice library.
Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My whole week is just a pile of work tasks, and the parts of me that matter
- I get quietly disappointed when my partner doesn’t give me what I need during a hard week, but the truth is I never told them it was coming
- My weeks get hijacked by whatever lands in my inbox first thing Monday, and by Friday I’ve just been reacting the whole time
- I walk into Monday blind and then keep getting blindsided mid-week
- I dive into Monday with no sense of what the week is actually for, so I end up chasing whatever shouts loudest each day and the two or three things that would make the week a real success never get a protected slot.
