A Research Paper By Georgina Bartels
Transition Coach, GHANA

The concept of willpower has piqued my interest in recent months. Because of the Coronavirus pandemic, my journey with ICA, my health and well-being, and changes at work, this response has been sharply brought into focus. In all of these changing situations in my life, I’ve realized that willpower, or the lack thereof, plays a significant role in accomplishing a goal, as well as the road taken to achieve it. We all have objectives, some of which are intentionally set with action plans and methods in place to achieve them, and others that are unconsciously brought to our attention as we go about our everyday lives. Willpower dictates whether or not we will follow through for every one of us. I’ve had to rely on my own resources during this pandemic.
