Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?

People Powered Performance: Unmasking the Avoider Within

The Problem:

Do you ever find yourself procrastinating, shying away from conflict, or feeling overwhelmed by even minor challenges? You might be unknowingly sabotaging your own success. ?

The Culprit:

Meet the Avoider, one of the most common "saboteurs" that lurks within our minds. This sneaky character thrives on avoiding discomfort, leading to procrastination, indecision, and missed opportunities. ?

Characteristics of the Avoider:

  • Procrastination and Indecision
  • Conflict Avoidance
  • Overwhelm and Anxiety
  • Difficulty Prioritizing
  • Fear of Failure
  • Overused Strengths:
  • Peacemaker
  • Pleasant and Easygoing
  • Calm and Patient

Thoughts, Feelings, and Justifications:

  • "I'll deal with it later."
  • "It's not a big deal."
  • "I don't want to rock the boat."
  • "I'm too busy."

Impact on Self and Others:

  • Missed deadlines and opportunities
  • Increased stress and anxiety
  • Strained relationships
  • Reduced productivity

How the Avoider Shows Up at Work:

  • Avoiding difficult conversations
  • Procrastinating on important tasks
  • Overcommitting and under-delivering
  • Difficulty making decisions
  • Lack of assertiveness

Taming the Avoider:

  • Become aware of your avoidance patterns.
  • Break down tasks into smaller, manageable steps.
  • Prioritize self-care and stress management.
  • Practice assertiveness and conflict resolution skills.
  • Seek support from a coach or mentor.

The Solution:

Don't let the Avoider hold you back from achieving your full potential. By recognizing its presence and implementing effective strategies, you can overcome this saboteur and unlock a world of possibilities.
