This is a pic of my re-incarnation from nurse to business woman doing my '40-second elevator speech' - what re-incarnation would you like for yourself?
I have spent the past week or so speaking to new potential coaching clients and talking to them about issues they are 'struggling with' in life.
Many of them are looking for clear direction in one particular area of life, which is where a coach comes in really handy! The first step in making any change is to look at who you are and what is happening right now.If you want a new job, for example, don't start by looking at new jobs - it's more effective to start looking at YOURSELF.
In any life area that is not working for you, think about:
- What do you really want? (imagine you can have anything - don't hold back)
- What are your values in that area?
- What would you love to be/do/have in a job/relationship or role?
- Who do you admire in this area?
- Who do you envy and why?
Take time to understand yourself and you can then make better choices about where you would 'fit'.
Use the resources available online to do some personality tests. One of my favourites is the signature strengths test at www.authentichappiness.com
Have fun getting to know yourselves, happynurses
