Balancing Intent, Action, and Intuition: Your Roadmap to Success

Shift from feeling stuck to making real progress with Dr Carol McGowan

Quick Summary

The Strategic Achievement Framework, developed through personal experience and client work, combines intent, action, and intuition to guide personal growth and goal achievement. Intent defines goals, action creates momentum, and intuition provides guidance. This framework helps clarify direction, generate meaningful goals, and spark insights leading to lasting change and fulfilment.

Putting the Framework to Work

The Strategic Achievement Framework was born during a period of profound challenge and soul-searching in my own life. In the aftermath of my husband’s passing, as I worked to set new personal goals, I discovered that the interplay of intent, action, and intuition provided a reliable roadmap for renewal.

This framework didn’t solidify overnight. While intent and action were central from the start, the real breakthrough came when I recognised the guiding value of strategic intuition. Sharing this model with clients and colleagues, I saw firsthand how it helped clarify direction, generate meaningful goals, and—perhaps most importantly—spark the kind of insights that lead to lasting change.

How Do the Three Elements Work Together?

Here’s how the three elements work together:

Intent: Defines where you want to go and why.

Action: Creates the momentum to get there.

Intuition: Offers wise guidance and a new perspective, keeping you aligned even when details are uncertain.

In practice, I often help clients zoom out from immediate tasks to see where they stand within the larger framework. For example, when Patricia (featured in Chapter 2 of Life’s Next Path) became overwhelmed by details, we revisited her intent. This recalibration rekindled her motivation, allowing her intuition to reveal a more fitting path forward.

Achieve Your Next Level of Fulfilment

If you’re aiming to shift from feeling stuck to making real progress—or seeking to move from success toward significance—the Strategic Achievement Framework will be your guide. By weaving together intent, action, and intuition in a dynamic, ongoing process, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and deep fulfilment as you navigate your next path.

Stay tuned for future posts, where I’ll continue to share extracts and powerful tools from Life’s Next Path. If you’re ready to start working with this framework in your own life, reach out for a confidential coaching session—let’s chart your next chapter together.
