  • โ€œI notice that Iโ€™m doing my work now and not letting things stop me like they did before. "

  • "It's a really a great feeling to connect with someone who makes me feel more confident and is a reliable source of helpfulness."

  • "I am proud to say I have a better grasp of my time during my weeks."

  • "I now have a solid ground to work from to grow into supporting my family in an efficient way."

โ€œSince working with The Goalden System, I just feel better. I am more on top of things and in control of the events in my life and predict the needs of my businesses. For the first time in forever, my accountant wasn't tracking me down for invoices and receipts because I was taught how to schedule this into my week/month and created a system to ensure nothing was missed.โ€

โ€œBefore working with my mentor, I had an extremely difficult time handling long-term projects and goals. Things were either Done or Not Done, and I would feel discouraged over how long something was Not Done, to the point where I would give up or never even start.

After working with my mentor for a few years now, I finally feel capable of following through on my goals. I was able to build my portfolio, get through job applications, and now Iโ€™m employed and living on my own! Being where I am now felt like a pipedream back then, an insurmountable task that I was already too late for. My mentor has helped me figure out how to put in the work, break things down, and not feel discouraged when things donโ€™t immediately work out as I expected. I can now reflect on the process, figure out what to do differently, and get back on track.โ€

โ€œI notice that Iโ€™m doing my work now and not letting things stop me as they did before. With my mentor holding me accountable and walking me through the steps it made it easier to see what I needed to do and not procrastinate on it. My mentor is a helpful reflective source and gives me a space where I can be vulnerable and know Iโ€™m not being judged. Itโ€™s really a great feeling to connect with someone who makes me feel more confident and a reliable source of helpfulness.โ€

โ€œWhen I first considered working with a mentor, I wasnโ€™t sure what to expect or if it would be something for me. I felt insecure about how much time had passed between college graduation and where I was because I didnโ€™t immediately get a career job. My confidence was low, and I knew things needed to change, but I wasnโ€™t sure where to start. Then we started tackling a few things at a time together, like my daily routine, going to bed on time, and remembering to take my meds daily. Sometimes, I would lie about my progress to make it go away. Still, Iโ€™d always come back and tell the truth because I felt like I was not being judged for my inaction but instead allowed to talk about the barrier for which we would find a solution. Things I habitually avoided became easier to approach and even tackle. I still remember when I saw an accountability text come across my phone and was so proud of myself for meeting my goals that week that I excitedly replied, โ€œThat task is done!!!!!โ€ We celebrated together, and itโ€™s been like this ever since. Some weeks Iโ€™m really on top of things and get my tasks done, and my mentor helps me out on the weeks that are harder or when life throws me a curveball. My dreams are becoming my reality, and itโ€™s really exciting. I am eternally grateful for this partnership I have made with my mentor, and I will continue to do the hard work and show up for myself.โ€

Reflections from the Goalden Team

  • Nothing makes me happier than knowing Iโ€™m my clientโ€™s trusted mentor for improving their lives and figuring out the plan/system to do it. There will be moments when we start a meeting, and they are in a vulnerable state but still show up. Those small moments of showing up to every meeting and trusting that there are solutions- even when they canโ€™t see them- create change within my clients. Providing the space to celebrate the small progress throughout the journey can be extremely powerful.

  • I love watching my partners begin to implement the strategies we'd been practicing in other areas of their life. It is amazing to watch them become more independent and see how the skills connected to other areas. Watching their confidence grow and helping them reflect on how far they've come is a highlight of this journey. I'm thankful to be a part of their growth.

  • Providing our partners with the space to process their day or their task is the best. I love that we create a safe place for our partners to work though the challenging things. I am thankful that we have the ability to build trust and respect with our partners so they know that they can come and do the hard work toward their goals without the fear of judgment or failure.
