The road to hell may be paved with good intentions but this is usually because of bad execution.

An intention is a frame of mind that drives action, when you have a clearly defined intention you gain a laser like focus and begin to take action. Effective execution occurs when intentions are transformed into well thought out behaviours.

People can often read your intentions but the world rewards your effective execution. Here are four questions to ask:

  • What is it you want to do?
  • What actions do you need to take?
  • What will be the effect of those actions?
  • Will these effects be in line with your intention?

Here is a short video on intentionality when it comes to public speaking:
