“It’s a small thing, but a big difference.”

Destiny Gardner


Coaching Point: She mentioned it in a casual manner during the conversation. The subject was about a significant breakthrough she had a few days earlier.

The shift was from an old behavior she saw in a different context. That shift in context caused an ah-ha, a new awareness.

After that small change and its payoff, she then saw a related one. Then another. She reported noticing a compounding effect from the few small changes.

Small changes that brought about large results. These have made a significant difference in the quality of a part of her life.

It starts with noticing that you would like something to be different, then taking a small action.

It also involves recognizing and celebrating your achievements. You took steps to make your life better.

Is there a small action or a change in thought or something you can let go of that you feel might give you a good outcome?
