Here's how you can align your work and personal values through personal coaching.

The process of aligning your work with your values can be done in 3 steps: 1. Building awareness: Help Clients identify their values. Help them reflect what these values mean to them and what makes them important. How they are living these values and what could be stopping them. Help them create a picture of their value system with the current view. 2. Acknowledging and accepting: Help your clients explore what is missing and what they want to add to the picture. What will help them add to the picture. What they are ok to let go? What needs to change? 3. Actions and reflection: Partner with your client to create a map to imbibe, to live through these values. To reflect on the progress, to make amendments and to continue.

Beyond traditional SMART goals, adopt a holistic approach that considers not only professional achievements but also personal growth and well-being.

Having a clear goal with your motivations defined ahead of time will help tremendously. Coaches can make this a fun and exciting part of the process. Ensure you work with someone who has experience and that has good recommendations.

Core values are of prime importance to our well-being. We can start identifying our values by asking ourselves a few simple questions: - What makes me upset? Find the value that has been breached in this situation. - What values I want the next generation to have, when they are 40? If you have kids, what kind of adults will they be? - Given the ideal situation, environment, what will I concentrate on? You may search for "core values" and pick 5, I invite you to write down 5 that you wish had stronger presence in your life.

By storytelling your career path through the lens of your core beliefs, you create a compelling narrative that resonates authentically with your audience, enhancing your influence and authority.

Between identifying Core Values and Goal Setting, there is one step of extreme importance. Many models tend to skip this one. Write down 10 sentences describing how you act and react in your life, when these core values are expressed in your life. Now, you can set a SMART goal. When these things happen, how will my life look like? What inspiration will others get when meeting me? When is it to be? And what do I get/have when this is? (Strange grammar, but try to write in the present tense)

It's easy to travel the world if you plan ahead. Being prepared and informed is a great way to reduce risks, accidently delays, and being incredibly lost in a land you're unfamiliar with. Hire a coach to help you plan the trip of discovering your new life. We have maps. ??

Planning ahead and weighing the risk and rewards. Nobody knows the future. We can reflect on the past and learn, we live in the present, but the future is not known. Having failures is okay because there is opportunity when you live with loss. Having successes are great but it doesn't mean you knew what was going to happen. I agree that planning is important. We should plan on failing and succeeding and how to mitigate what the results are.

Develop metrics that measure success based on alignment with your core values. By quantifying progress in terms of values-driven outcomes, you can track your journey towards personal and professional fulfillment.

Action plan is great for monitoring where we are, in relation to where we started, and to our goal. We can track our progress. Alongside the work/business action items, I invite you to add a few personal action items. To start advancing what we defined in the previous step. How do I bring the core values into my life, now! and not only when the business target is achieved. Baby steps is a great rule to work by. And keeping your word, doing what you said you will in your Action Plan, will accelerate the process exponentially. You will learn to also say "No", when it distracts you from an action item. If I am writing this when I should be making phone-calls... So set "free" time each week to help others, or deal with unexpected situations.

Aligning your personal values with your work through personal coaching involves a process of reflection and adaptation. Start by engaging in reflective exercises with your coach to identify and clarify your core values, beliefs, and aspirations. This introspective process helps you understand what truly matters to you and how these values influence your decisions and actions. Once your values are clear, your coach can guide you in assessing your current work environment and responsibilities, identifying areas of misalignment and potential conflicts. Together, develop strategies to adapt your work habits, roles, and goals to better reflect your values.

First, start with self-reflection. Identify your core values and what truly matters to you both personally and professionally. Write these down to have a clear understanding. Share these insights with your coach, who can help you explore how your values align with your current work and lifestyle. Set specific goals that reflect these values, ensuring they guide your career and personal decisions. Use coaching sessions to develop strategies for integrating your values into your daily activities and work projects. Regularly review your progress with your coach, making adjustments as needed to stay aligned. Finally, practice self-awareness and be open to continuous learning and growth.
