A “strat
chat” means that you discuss your ideas, plans and goals with someone who will share your energy and excitement. During a strategy chat, you can bounce off ideas and get a fresh viewpoint on the goals you’ve set with yourself – and how to go about achieving them.
Mentors are especially helpful in the strat chat because he or she is already helping you achieve a
goal you want to pursue – either in your work, your personal trainer or other type of mentoring role.
You’ll want to be completely honest during your strat chat about what you think your weaknesses are and ask (and listen to) advice from the mentor or friend about the outlook on reaching your goals.
Take criticism with a grain of salt, meaning that you know yourself better than anyone, so you know
what you’re capable of. But, do take the offered criticism into consideration. Sometimes a trusted friend can see things in you that you don’t
necessarily see in yourself.
Changing what you need to change about yourself can help you become motivated to reach the goals you
discuss during the strat chat and get there faster.
