I’m excited to announce the launch of my new podcast, Leader Fluent with Stephen Blandino. Leader Fluent is designed to equip leaders to develop thriving churches and organizations. Each month you’ll receive an insightful and engaging episode designed to maximize your growth. Whether you’re a pastor, organizational leader, or simply have a passion for leadership and personal growth, you’ll find Leader Fluent to be a practical resource that increases your personal and organizational effectiveness.

You can check out the very first episode today on the topic, “How to Create a Plan for Personal Growth.” The new year is a great time to create a growth plan that’s customized to your personal and professional goals. In this episode, I unpack my “Growth TRAC Template” to help you focus your growth and create a customized plan on the priorities that are most important to you.

SHOW NOTES:

What is a Personal Growth TRAC? A Growth TRAC is a specific, measurable, and accountable plan for personal and professional growth.

TARGET: WHAT ARE MY GROWTH GOALS?

  • Spiritual Growth
  • Mental Growth
  • Relational Growth
  • Physical Growth

ROADMAP: HOW DO I PLAN TO GROW?

  • Training

ACCOUNTABILITY: WHO WILL HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE FOR MY GROWTH?

Some accountability is Automated, and other accountability is Customized. Automated accountability is something you have zero or little choice in. Customized accountability is where you intentionally choose somebody to hold you accountable for a growth goal. And the best accountability partners are those who are trustworthy and they can help you reach your goal.  

CHECK-UPS: WHEN AND HOW WILL I EVALUATE MY GROWTH PROGRESS?

Check-ups are all about determining how and scheduling when you’ll evaluate your progress. Check-ups are where you set deadlines for each step in your roadmap, embed your roadmap into your daily schedule, and then do in-depth check-ups monthly or quarterly with your accountability partner so you can make appropriate mid-course corrections.
