COACHMatch is a program based on the groundbreaking work described in the book Deceptions, Distractions, and Disillusionment: Barriers to Your Success and Ours by Dr. Michael A. Wright highlighting steps to: 1) Overcome Deceptions, Distractions, and Disillusionment; 2) Partner for success by seeking help and collaboration; and, 3) Living as Your Best Self. Moving beyond your generational narrative is critical to the self-development and partnership solution.
The generational narrative is a complex topic that requires constant self-reflection and growth. Overall, the generational narrative is about constantly striving to improve oneself and become a better leader through help-seeking and collaboration. Through acknowledging our fears and imperfections, actively defining perfection, and working towards forgiveness, we can achieve personal and societal growth.
Forgiveness is a difficult but necessary process that can help individuals move past their mistakes and become better people. By forgiving ourselves for those moments we were betrayed, misinformed, or unprepared, we can learn from our mistakes and move on with our lives. Forgiving others can be a powerful tool for improving relationships, both personal and professional. You may not reconnect with a person from the past, but you are safe and secure with your new connections.
Perfection is another bully. The problem is not so much that it is unrealistic and unattainable. The problem is that perfection-focus is always a defeatist proposition. It begins with doubt and ends in a moment of evaluation rather than enjoyment of the journey. This is why the pursuit of perfection can lead to anxiety, depression, and a lack of productivity. Instead, focus on actively defining perfection for yourself grounded in consistency and a commitment to show up continually. Once you arrive strive for excellence.
Acknowledge your fears and use them as motivation to become a more consistent, authentic person acting decisively. It is only through confronting and working through our fears that we can achieve true greatness. An agentic perspective is empowering and perpetually motivating. It allows us to take ownership of our actions leveraging a sense of responsibility. Achieving success through an agentic perspective requires a commitment to learning, skill mastery, and continual self-reflection.
