4. Obstacle Analysis Grid

Obstacle Analysis Grid is a tool for exploring what’s getting in your way.

“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” Michael Jordan

Belief This will never happen. Other people might be able to do it, but it is unlikely for me.

Information I don’t know what to do and don’t know where to find out.

Skill I don’t have the skills to succeed in this area.

Other People My husband/wife/kids/ boss makes it difficult for me.

Wellbeing I am too tired/stressed/ill to deal with this.

Motivation I can’t get started/I don’t care enough.

Time There is not enough time in the day.

Fear I feel sick at the thought of it.

Money I can’t afford to do this.

Michael Neill, 2007
