Be empowered

An example – to start at home

Our world is an uncertain, volatile yet beautiful place and can be a challenge to navigate. It is a skill to negotiate this ambiguous world whilst balancing self-compassion and exploring life with abundance. My work is a combination of evidence based research, coaching theory and tools and years of experience. However, not everyone can afford coaching or, perhaps, you’re uncertain whether it’s for you.

I am always available for a brief consultation of 30 minutes – please contact me via Linked In or the contact details on this website.

Be the skipper

A skipper has many tools: the compass, the barometer, a map. To start your own journey, before you commit to coaching, I recommend reflecting on your core values as a way to establish your location. What is important to you? There are many tools available and I recommend using a list of values based on Shalom Schwartz’s work, simply because it has been researched extensively. For yourself, rank the top three values out of : Power, Achievement, Hedonism, Stimulation, Self Direction, Universalism, Benevolence, Tradition, Conformity, and Security. Then pick the value that is opposed to your guiding principles. Reflect on whether this top 3 depends on the professional versus the personal context – for example, your religious traditions may be important at home, but not at work.

Now consider the mission of your place of work. What are the core values? Are they aligned with yours? Why does this (not) matter? 

Once you’ve established your values and those of the organisation for which you work (even if it’s your own enterprise), think about what it is that you ‘need’ and how the organisation supplies this. For example, you may need a certain salary, or, you may need a good working relationship with colleagues. 

Then, as a third step, think about what the organisation ‘demands’ and how you have the abilities and skills. It is important for us to feel useful, to be able to apply our skills and continue to grow in what we do. For example, your organisation may require certain technical skills, or, the organisation may require for you to be able to travel at a moment’s notice. 

Now you’ve established what is known as your ‘person-environment congruence’ profile. Can you identified an area for improvement? What would be the deal breaker? 

If you’d like further advice on this and more, do contact me.
