What's your Summer Thrilling Goal? Zip Lining?

Last fall, when I was completing my Coaching Certification, they introduced a new version of SMART Goals. S - Smart, M - Measurable, A - Accountable, R - Resonant, and T - THRILLING. Goals should be so thrilling, even a little scary that you can't wait to get started!

So at the beginning of this new year, I set my business and personal goals using this new SMART criteria. For my personal goals, I wanted to do a thrilling goal with my husband and both my daughters. During summer holidays in early July, my youngest daughter Alexa, who is 13 years old, announced that she wanted to go zip-lining. This definitely was a thrilling goal that resonated for Alexa and was real SCARY for me! As a leader, coach and Mom, I had no choice but to walk my talk. There was lots of positive self-talk going on in my head leading up this event! Then I learned, it was not just a simple zip line—but eight zip lines from tree to tree, two swinging bridges and a 40 foot repel. (For those of you like me who don't know what a repel is—it's a 40' straight drop on a cable hooked around your body!)
