MASTER Risk Model - Learning Resources - Mindset

Intrinsic Motivation

Write one task today and add “because I care about my clients’ growth” to reconnect meaning.

Link one project to your values, write why it matters beyond the contract or fee.

Block ten minutes for an energizing task, no outcome needed, just enjoy the flow.

Ask yourself each morning: “What would make today meaningful, not just productive?”

Place a note on your desk: “Why I do this”, anchor actions to deeper purpose.

Say no to one draining task that doesn’t serve your purpose, protect energy.

Extrinsic Motivation

List one type of recognition from clients that motivates you, recall it before a tough project.

Share one recent success story with your network, notice how recognition boosts focus and drive.

Create a simple reward for finishing a proposal, tie it to something enjoyable today.

Add a visible tracker for a long-term project, watch progress to boost commitment.

Share a current goal with a peer coach, use accountability for momentum.

Finish one task before lunch and reward yourself with a break you enjoy.

No Fear

Name one small risk you’ve avoided in your practice, take the first visible step toward it today.

Name one unclear situation with a client, note what you control and take one action today.

Message a peer consultant with a compliment or idea, expect no reply and count the act as a win.

Say aloud: “Failure is data, not identity”, repeat it when you hesitate before a bold move.

Say aloud: “Uncertainty means possibility”, repeat it when client outcomes feel unclear.

Say aloud: “A no doesn’t define me”, repeat it before pitching ideas or offering feedback.

Share one time you failed with a client, remind yourself how it shaped your growth.

Schedule ten minutes to explore a trend you don’t understand, treat it as curiosity practice.

Share your perspective in a peer group, even if unpopular, speak once with calmness.

Reframe a current task as an experiment, treat learning as the success measure.

Ask one curious question in your next session, even if unsure of the answer.

Make a simple request you’ve delayed, time, help, or collaboration you need.

Place a sticky note saying: “What if I try, and learn?” near your workspace.

Make one small decision quickly today, treat it as a test, not a risk.

Write down your toughest rejection, note what followed and how you grew after.

Lower stakes: do one task imperfectly on purpose, just to move it forward.

Change your screen background to a quote on exploring the unknown.

Post a sticky note: “Rejection is redirection”, keep it visible near your desk.
