Episode 28: Achieving the goal is not the goal itself
Thursday, 1 October, 2026
In this episode, Rachael and Hazel explore the role of goals in Acceptance and Commitment Coaching (ACC) and why goal-focused self-regulation sits at the heart of effective coaching.They discuss how commitment drives movement and how intentionality transforms into meaningful action. Together, they share practical ways to help coachees clarify what behaviors might look different and what tangible changes need to happen along the way.Drawing from their personal journeys toward the long-term goal of writing a book, they examine how big, hard goals often require tough trade-offs regarding time, focus, and what we say yes or no to.Tune in to discover techniques for self-check-ins, strategies to stay committed, and how to strike the perfect balance between accountability and self-compassion; reminding us ultimately that achieving the goal is not the goal itself.A great resource for learning more about goals in coaching is An integrated model of goal-focused coaching: An evidence-based framework for teaching and practice.
