Values
Values
  • Values are what is important to you.

  • ●  Values are beliefs that people hold so strongly that it drives their behavior and dictates how they make decisions.

  • ●  They help you express who you are and what you stand for.

  • ●  Your values define your character.

  • ●  Values, along with your definition of what that value means for you, will help lay the groundwork of what makes you happy

    and what you are passionate about.

  • ●  If you are unaware of, or become disconnected with your values, you end up making choices out of impulse or instant gratification rather than on solid reasoning and responsible decision-making.

  • ●  They impact every aspect of your life including personal and work behaviors, your interactions with family, friends and co-workers; your decision-making processes and the direction you take in life. This is why it is so important to know what you value and what is important to you.

  • ●  Everyone has values and they mean something different to everyone.
    As a matter of fact, many people try to emulate other people’s values and they can’t figure out why they aren’t happy. It’s because if your values don’t belong to you, you can’t be truly happy.

    • Values are states of mind or principles of action.

    • ●  Values are usually abstract.

      e.g. honesty, integrity, fun, love, freedom, security.

      1. Values and Goals

        • ●  Goals need to be worthwhile. They need to be aligned with one’s values. Goals are powered by values.

        • ●  It’s the values that keep the client going, when they are discouraged on their journey.

        • ●  Values are the real reason behind the goal.

          Identify values through questions and metaphors

        • ●  The metaphor that a person comes up with (e.g. an astronaut) will have certain values implied (e.g. exploration and courage)

        • ●  Using metaphors can unstuck someone as it may be easier to talk about an imaginary character than ourselves.

          The value behind the goal (1/2)

          • ●  All goals are generated by values.

          • ●  It is very important to use the clients exact words in this process. E.g. if a client says ‘peace of mind’ don’t try to

            paraphrase with ‘tranquility’.

            The Value behind the goal 2/2

            How will you know you have found a core value?

            • ●  When someone repeats the same word a number of times during the process.

            • ●  When the client emphasizes some words with a gesture with the personal pronoun “I” + verb.

            • ●  When the process goes in circle and the answer is the same as before.

            • ●  The coach can check the core value by chucking up from the logical reason that was in place at the start.

              Sample of a coaching session to show how to find the core value behind a goal.

              Here, the client goal is to retire in 10 years time. When we asked him what his most important values was about that, he said financial independence. This is certainly a logical answer but the coach wanted to explore a bit more
