What is a Coach?

Need to start with a definition.
Ask for answers.

Self-Coaching Means Taking the Wheel

Two of the most fundamental skills of coaching are asking powerful questions and listening effectively to the answers.

Self-coaching means asking yourself powerful questions and listening deeply for your own response.

Where Are You?

Where Do You Want to Go?

As you can tell from the definition, two of the most powerful questions are...

So Where Do You Want to Go...?

Let's tackle this one first.

...in your job search?

You can answer it on a surface level, like: "where do I want to go in my job search? and you answer might be well, I want a job, or want an HR Biz Ptnr job"

...in your career?

...in your life?

You might even find yourself at a time like this asking what you want from life.

How Do You Know?

Purpose and Values

To answer deeper level questions, you must have a sense of your own values and purpose.

Values = what's important to you.

Purpose = answers the Why

Exercise

Exercise to help answer Where Do You Want to Go, starting with Life Purpose.

3 scenarios (can think of as Visualizations if you want):

1. Peak time in your life. Peak experience. Fully alive. Fully yourself. Happy. Content.

2. Lottery

3. 90th birthday

Where Are You Now?

What do you think of when I ask you this question?
Where are you geographically, physically, emotionally, mentally, in relation to a goal, etc.

It's a matter of perspective

The answer depends on your perspective, or your interpretation of the question. And both of those are a matter of Choice.

Moving Forward Often Means Shifting Perspective

When stuck, what's needed is to shift perspectives, which is a choice.
