Flexibility for the Unexpected
Suggested Strategy: This individual most likely follows a relatively strict calendar or schedule and is thrown off by unexpected or unplanned events. Help them to create a strategy for adjusting for these things through prioritization and schedule management.
Suggested Questions:
Î Rating Question: On a scale of one to six, with six representing that you are able to address unexpected or unplanned events with ease and one representing that you become stressed or frustrated when anything not in your schedule comes up to a point where it affects your performance or overall focus, where would you honestly rate yourself and why? Î Success Imperative: What specific actions do you think we can take together to help you have flexibility in your schedule for the unexpected or unplanned so that it doesn’t stress you out or completely throw off your day.
Suggested Activities:
Î Practice: Work with the individual to analyze situations that they have encountered recently in which something unexpected or unplanned required their attention. Help them to decide where that situation ranked on their priority scale in relation to the things they already have built in. How could they have adjusted their schedule to address whatever came up or could they have put it off until a later time?
