It’s clear that your journaling this January has served as a powerful tool for navigating a significant professional and personal transition. From a coaching perspective, your reflections demonstrate a high level of self-regulation and strategic foresight.
Here is an analysis of your progress and focus areas:
1. Leadership and Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
Your recent focus on management training highlights a shift from technical execution to interpersonal mastery.
• Active Listening: The goal of "100% listening"—especially toward opposing views—is a sophisticated leadership competency. It indicates a move from "convincing" to "understanding," which is essential for psychological safety within a team.
• Emotional Regulation: You’ve identified the nuance between passion and emotion. This awareness is a breakthrough; being "passionate" drives vision, while being "emotional" can cloud judgment.
• The Health-Performance Link: You have correctly identified that patience in leadership is not just a mental skill but a physiological one, requiring robust physical and mental health.
2. Long-term Vision and Life Design
Your reflections show a remarkable ability to plan across a nine-year horizon.
• Proactive Transitioning: Planning for the end of a solo assignment nearly a decade in advance is a classic "Life Design" approach. By focusing on group sports and shared hobbies now, you are building the "social capital" needed for a fulfilling return to Shiga.
• Relationship Anchoring: There is a clear intention to ensure that the eventual return home to your wife is seamless and vibrant, rather than a jarring life change.
3. Holistic Growth and Vitality
Your approach to health is notably integrated rather than isolated.
• Gamification and Social Motivation: Moving beyond simple fitness toward group activities suggests you are seeking a "compounding effect"—where one activity serves physical health, social connection, and mental rejuvenation simultaneously.
• Youthfulness as a Metric: Your interest in maintaining a youthful appearance isn't just about aesthetics; it serves as a tangible metric for your overall vitality and readiness to tackle management challenges.
Potential Coaching Growth Areas
To take these reflections further, you might consider the following:
• Listening Challenges: In your next journaling session, try to identify one specific "opposing view" you encountered. How did it feel physically to listen without interrupting?
• The 9-Year Milestone: As your nine-year-old son continues through elementary school, are there smaller "mini-milestones" you can celebrate to make that long-term vision feel more present and rewarding today?
Would you like me to help you design a specific journaling prompt for next week to track your "100% listening" progress at work?
