Gourdanen · The Barrier Diagnosis
What is actually stopping your next move?
Name the change you want in your working life, then score yourself honestly on the five questions every change has to pass, in order. The first one you score three or lower is your barrier. Everything below it is effort you are wasting until that one holds. Add the people whose support you need and you will see whose conversation comes first.

You, and anyone whose support you need
1. AwarenessDo you actually know what needs to change, and why now rather than someday?
2. DesireDo you actually want this, or do you just think you should want it?
3. KnowledgeDo you know how to do this, or only that you should?
4. AbilityDo you have the time, permission and headspace to do it?
5. ReinforcementWhat will keep you doing it once the novelty wears off?
1. AwarenessDo they know what the change is, and why it matters right now?
2. DesireDo they know what is in it for them, and do they want it?
3. KnowledgeDo they know how, and do they have the skills?
4. AbilityDo they have the room to actually do it?
5. ReinforcementWhat keeps it in place after week one?
One to five. One is not at all, three is halfway and still shaky, five is genuinely solid. Score it as it is today, not as you hope it is.
