Career and Business Coaching

If someone asked  “who are you?,” what would your answer be? Perhaps you would answer “I’m a teacher” or “I’m Dave’s wife” or “I’m Sophie and Brian’s mom.”  But these are simply roles you play, not the core of who you truly are. In order to redesign your life to step into balance, power and success, it is vital that you connect with your gifts, talents, core beliefs and values.

Here are three simple techniques you can utilize to begin the reconnection process:

1. Who were you at six years old? Think back and visualize, if you can, when you were six. What did you love to do? How did you feel about yourself? What did you want to be when you grew up?
2. Name a hero, either fictional or real, and make a list of the qualities you admire about that person. Now ask yourself : “What would it take for me to be my own hero?” “What would I be doing differently in my life?”
3. Think about your values—we each have dozens, but just to keep it simple write down your top 10 values. Now look at each value and rate your satisfaction of how you are living those values (i.e., “walking the talk”). On a scale of 1 – 5 (1 is least satisfied, 5 is most satisfied), write a number next to each value.

By reconnecting with who you are you can lay a cornerstone in redesigning your life and stepping into your power.
