Measuring Progress

academy

Answers: Is it working?
Measure your performance and be accountable. This is about having a sense of winning and losing. It’s about knowing that you’re moving forward, or knowing when you’ve stalled so you can adapt accordingly.

Lesson 1

INTRODUCTION

course objectives

  • Define score.
  • Understand that scorekeeping can be simplified to two questions, “Am I moving in the right direction?” and “Am I going as fast as I need to?”
  • Differentiate between the experiences of being “grounded,” “circling,” “stalling,” and “cruising.”

Introduction to Score

Score refers to how we recognize and keep track of what is most important along our Journey to Purpose. An easy way to keep Score is to ask ourselves if we are moving in the right direction and at the right speed.

Lesson 2

Keeping Score

Arcade Pilot

We have the freedom and power to choose what we pay attention to and keep score of. Picking the right things to keep score of can eliminate distractions and keep us moving forward on our Journey to Purpose.

Score as Fuel

Keeping Score generates feedback about how we have improved. It is also a powerful motivator for us to push past obstacles and be resilient on our personal journey.

Lesson 3

Direction and Speed

The Two Questions

When keeping Score, we must ask two questions: “Am I moving in the right direction?” and “Am I moving fast enough?” These questions help us stay focused on our goals.

The Four Conditions

Answering the two questions, “Am I moving in the right direction?” and “Am I moving fast enough?” will help you identify if you are grounded, circling, stalling, or cruising. From there, you can adjust as needed as you pursue your objectives.

Lesson 4

Grounded

Intentional Grouding

When we aren’t moving in the direction we want, or at the speed we want, we are “grounded.” Sometimes we ground ourselves intentionally, other times it’s not our choice and we feel stuck.

Grounded Exercise

We don’t always need to “fly” every moment of our lives to move forward—sometimes waiting on the ground is the best preparation to fly tomorrow. Sometimes we choose not to “take off” and remain grounded in certain parts of our lives because this day or moment is not the right time to fly.

Are you Grounded in any area of your life? Reflect on your experience in the activity below.

Lesson 5

Stalling

When You’re in a Stall

When we are going in the right direction but we are not getting there fast enough, we are “stalling.” The strategy to get out of a stall is to stabilize by changing our initial approach so we can gain speed and continue toward our objectives.

Stalling Exercise

Stalling is a condition when you’re moving so slowly that you can’t sustain the “lift” under your wings to stay aloft. In life, stalling occurs when we are making so little progress along the path we’ve chosen that we struggle not to go into an emotional spin and crash—mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually.

Are you Stalled in any area of your life? Reflect on your experience in the activity below.

Lesson 6

Circling

Traveling in Circles

When Score suggests we are “circling,” we have high speed but low direction. This can show up as recurring habits, frustrating results, or other situations that happen again and again.

Circling Exercise

Sometimes we are circling because we’ve lost track of our compass or landmarks that tell us we’re not moving forward. Sometimes it’s intentional—we’re not quite ready to move on. Sometimes we’re circling because we are struggling to let go of or break away from something that keeps pulling us back.

Lesson 7

Cruising

Cruising at Speed and Direction

We say we are “cruising” when we are moving in the right direction at the right speed toward our objectives. When we reach this goal, we know we are aligned with our identity and moving along our Journey to Purpose as planned.
