Coaching Focus for

your week

Add Value in your Life

As human beings we are drawn to each other based on the perceived value we feel we can give and get from each other in our lives..

Perceived value is made up of four attributes;

Your Insight + Your Actions + Your Impact + Your Personal Uniqueness

Your focus point for this coming week is to check in on the personal and business relationships and friendships in your life … Are you adding value to these relationships based on the above four attributes?

WIIFM…. (What’s in it for me) is not a true sense of perceived value…

CHECK IN ON WHAT IM REALLY SAYING

START CHECKING IN ON WHAT IS BEING SAID FROM THE INSIDE...

The key coaching skill of checking is tied to checking in on the underlying limiting beliefs people have about themselves. The reason it is crucial to check these is because limiting beliefs are the major inhibitor of us moving forward, growing and changing. “We can’t behave inconsistent with what we believe”, so if you have a low belief in your ability to perform, your actual performance will be low and in line with how much you believe.

The beliefs we have about ourselves and others are developed in early childhood and influenced by the following criteria;

Ø  Your education; what you were taught as a child about life and at school will become your default set of beliefs about life.

Ø  Your environment; where you grew up and the culture of the people you grew up with will influence your beliefs about people and other cultures.

Ø  Experiences; exciting, happy as well as traumatic experiences you went through growing up will shape your beliefs about future events of a similar nature.

Ø  Creative thinking; growing up we all develop our own opinions about situations often as a way to develop our independence from others. These differing opinions become your core set of beliefs that you rely on in life to differentiate yourself from others.  

Limiting and Encouraging Beliefs

Based on the above criteria, we all have some beliefs that encourage us to move forward and take action in life as well as beliefs that act as hurdles or stops signs that limit us from moving forward and taking action.

Your role in coaching others is to check in on their beliefs, motivating them with their encouraging beliefs and highlighting their limiting beliefs so they can change them. This is the great part about beliefs, they can change! “If you want to change how you behave, first change what you believe. You can’t act inconsistent with what you believe.”

Examples of limiting beliefs to look out for

Ø    “I can’t achieve that much”

Ø    I won’t be able to keep that up”

Ø    “I’ve never excelled at (Y) before”

Ø    “I’m just not good/clever/attractive enough”

Ø    “I don’t see how that is possible”

Ø    “You’re asking more than I am capable of”

The list goes on and on, but you can hear the common thread in these beliefs is a mindset of; “can’t, won’t, not able to.” When you hear these personal comments being spoken out loud your role is to mirror them back to the person and stimulate them to think about the actual truth about themselves.

There is a solution to every problem, the solution usually comes when we change and perception about the problem, which is done through changing our limiting beliefs into encouraging.
