The Planner’s Mindset
You’re a person who brings strength and a stabilizing presence to everyone around you
Your mindset is one of steadfast dependability. An expert in making plans and investing in relationships, you play the long-game. You move through your workday with consistency and an attentiveness to other people. Your clients and coworkers admire you for your ability to stay the course, your loyalty, and firm presence in tough situations. People know they can trust you and rely on you for meaningful advice.
What You’re Great At
With a Planner’s Mindset, you’re someone that everyone wants to work with. You exhibit patience, you’re an excellent listener, and you’re attentive to the concerns of others. You’re someone who brings people together and helps resolve and avoid conflicts during a workday. People appreciate your ability to make and follow through with plans, and know they can trust you to get things done. They can count on you to handle multiple things at once and see tasks and projects through to completion.
Your expert ability to plan also means that you’re not the biggest fan of change. Sometimes you struggle when unpredictability enters your workday or your routines are interrupted. It’s not uncommon for you to delay making decisions that might involve interpersonal conflict, and tend to avoid situations where you’re receiving or giving feedback. Your workday mindset is influenced by your desire to keep things steady and please others, and sometimes you choose keeping the peace over speaking your mind or being as assertive as you should be.
Potential Workday Challenges
How To Address Those Challenges
If you want to strengthen your Planner’s Mindset, shift your focus toward taking charge when necessary and inserting yourself in the decision making process. People trust you and look to you for advice, so don’t hesitate to be a leader by sharing and asking for constructive feedback. You’re great at making plans - so make one for how you’re going to adjust your mindset to manage unexpected changes that arise during your workday. Take some risks and view them as experiments.
It’s clear that you care about your own development and that you’re invested in the success of your clients. But if you want to keep growing, you’ll first have to learn how to navigate the discomfort you feel when changes or conflict arise. You’ll need to shift your mindset from passive avoidance to active participation. This includes creating a workday environment that helps you manage change, and developing tools that help you stay calm and focused when things don’t go as expected. As a planner, you’re perfectly positioned to infuse confidence and resilience into your workday. Join our Workday Accelerator and we’ll show you how.
