    Episode 173 8 End of Year Questions
    Dec 23 2024
    173 8 End of Year Questions In this reflective end-of-year episode, we guide listeners through 8 powerful coaching questions to close out 2024 and set intentions for 2025. Inspired by the idea of Christmas crackers but swapping out cheesey jokes for meaningful questions, we pair reflection with forward-thinking, encouraging listeners to pause, reflect, and plan. The episode begins with a question about what has influenced you this year—whether people, events, or personal experiences—and pairs it with a forward-looking prompt: Who am I becoming? Drawing on vivid metaphors of life paths, we invite listeners to consider whether they are following familiar routes, veering off onto less-trodden trails, or creating entirely new pathways. Listeners are then asked to explore their world work—the contribution they’ve made, whether large or small, to the world around them. we emphasise that world work doesn’t need to be grandiose; acts of kindness, caregiving, and listening all count. This reflection naturally flows into the forward-looking question: What is the world calling you to do? A deeper emotional exploration comes next: What have you denied yourself this year? From experiences to emotions like joy or anxiety, we highlight the importance of identifying unconscious denials and bringing them into awareness. The follow-up question, What will you allow or welcome in next year?, encourages listeners to grant themselves permission to embrace what truly matters. Finally, the episode turns toward gratitude. Listeners reflect on what and who they are most grateful for and are challenged to consider how they will share that gratitude in the year ahead. From personal stories of transformative gratitude to ideas about paying it forward, we remind everyone that gratitude, when shared, becomes even more powerful. As the year closes, this episode is a reflective companion for anyone seeking clarity, growth, and intention for the new year. The 8 End-of-Year Coaching Questions What has influenced me this year? Who am I becoming? What world work have I done this year? What is the world calling me to do? What have I denied myself this year? What will I allow or welcome in next year? What and who am I most grateful for this year? How will I share my gratitude in the year ahead? In this Episode you will Learn: Reflection unlocks clarity: Pausing to review the past year helps identify influences and set intentional goals for the future. Small contributions matter: “World work” can be simple acts of kindness, caregiving, or listening. Awareness changes patterns: Recognizing what you’ve denied yourself allows for conscious choices moving forward. Gratitude is grounding and powerful: Sharing gratitude amplifies its impact and fosters connection. Intention shapes who you become: By asking who you choose to be, you align actions with desired growth. Key Takeaways Use these 8 coaching questions as journaling prompts or conversation starters for reflection. Don’t underestimate the small ways you contribute to the world—kindness, care, and attention all matter. Acknowledge the emotions or experiences you may have denied yourself and give yourself permission to embrace them. Gratitude is transformative when shared—consider how you can express it more intentionally in the coming year. Life paths are yours to create—are you following the familiar, stepping off the track, or forging new trails?
