What factors influence your ability to achieve?
Reflecting on my own journey, I’ve recognized numerous elements that influence my ability to achieve. Some of these elements are within my control, while others remain beyond my reach.
I’ve come to understand that awareness of these factors is a crucial first step in moving forward.
With heightened awareness, we empower ourselves to make informed decisions – to take proactive steps, develop plans, or even disregard certain influences.
SurgeonMasters fosters awareness via two primary avenues: coaching and education. Through coaching, we engage with other individuals to navigate our paths. Through education, we absorb and apply what resonates most with our personal journeys.
This month, we published three educational podcasts with tips to heighten our awareness and apply what matters to us.
