So here in this video all I really want to share with you is the next practical step you can take just
to get clear here.
You have to find the greatest life vision or your clients script life vision so they know what they
are.
What's put it this is going to make them successful in life was ultimately going to fail them if they
ever get there is set in them also a course for the way in which they live their life for who it is
that they can choose to be every single day because with that with that person or their greatest life
vision it is possible to actually become a person today which means that we can take control of our
life and quite a radical way and begin being successful every day especially if our definition of success
is based upon who it is that we can become opposed to.
What they.
So we're going to do quite quite an important definition to make saw them in the last video a shared
with the goal setting work book in which you know look at this seven men who I feel areas.
Right so you've looked at your own or in the context of your relationship your client has no defined
vision statement for each of the seven main life areas.
No the next practical step you take is asking them what it is they want to work on first because there's
no point tackling all seven areas at the same time you just simply ask them what their number one priority
life area is.
No.
If it's relationships then that's the area that you fell in the middle of the brainstorm here.
No earlier in the course I asked you what I recommended or suggested that you get yourself on whiteboards
or a flip chart or something like that.
And it's important they do something like this just for brain dumping or you're going to ask your client
to do is just literally start explaining or spelling out what are they actually want so.
So if it is relationships or it could be career it could be whatever they're going to start telling
you what they want.
If this was relationships for example they want to work on improving the quality of their relationships.
It might be the case that they want to develop better communication skills.
In which case you would then know to develop some sort of a plan or strategy for that you would then
know what it is that you need to develop as a life coach.
You no see yourself go to you know develop and brush up on your own communication skills to better teach
them or coach them.
It may be the case that they just want to get involved in more social activities to develop a network
of relationships outside of a professional context or something like that.
So maybe more of a social element.
It might be the case that they they're actually looking to find love.
So but so but becomes the priority and may be the case that they and the want to have a better relationship
with their children with their kids with family with whatever they this is this is the part of the coach
and relationship that is no solely determined by them.
They're going to tell you the problems that they have in the areas in which they want to start setting
goals.
No.
Once you've had this brainstorm all you're then going to do is just use one bit of paper or write a
template that will have touched for a year and the additional material section of this video will lecture
and then systematically in life farea you're just going to get them to prioritize what it is that they
want to work on first so you can then start designing a plan for every single one of these issues.
Design a plan and a series of action steps to develop a more effective social life to develop better
communication skills.
So say for example they say Well number one priority as kids.
Well that gets a number one.
Secondly they want to develop their love based relationships which is to understand that their communication
skills are playing a role in all of this so they want this to be three super 3 by the number four as
family and number five is social.
So you then ask them to confirm that is definitely Keds that they want to work on fast.
And then we establish what the specific problem is.
What's the actual problem.
It's a pretty good chance they're going to say something like boys.
I actually just feel a communications have broken down.
So you've got to use in a relatively flexible questioning just to get clear although they may see children
as being their number one priority.
It may actually be the way in which they communicate or relate to the children.
That's the main problem.
In which case we just need to switch those to around communication skills that become the number one
priority.
And it might even be the case.
They're working on communication skills is going to then have a natural rules or affect on to their
social relationships a family and the love based relationships too.
So this is actually just about you know getting clear on exactly where to start with them because once
you've established the exact gall the gall might be the relationship with the kids.
Well this might not necessarily be a smarter or a short term goal.
This may realistically be more of a medium term goal because if we need to reassess and evaluate and
readjust how it is that we have literally learned to communicate through a life there may be the case
that your client needs to grow and develop some further communication skills training that may want
to go and take a counselling course of study psychology or read some books or or anything like that.
So bear in mind people are self governing.
No if you're anything like what I was good about when I first started life coaching.
My biggest concern was What happens if I don't have all the answers repeatable.
And the answer to that ridiculous question is you don't need to or you're really helping people to do
is just systematically mileage and arrange everyone's thoughts because a few values back we looked at
one of the seven deadly sins of goal setting and this is not rating goes down.
So by you writing all of this down to be honest with you what you've actually just done is you've just
sold half of the problem with them.
They know half of forecasts something that they can start committing towards taking action and working
towards today because this is a priority in their life.
You may only see them once a week for an hour or one hour for once a fortnight.
It's what they do between sessions that's fundamentally going to determine whether they start moving
forward in this life or not.
Essentially just you really role here is to help them establish what it is that they want.
It's not your responsibility.
Make them go and take action.
That's up to them.
As a life coach all you really want to be doing is holding them to account by getting them to define
the action steps that they need to take and again we'll be sharing a template that you can use shortly
and a little avenue too as well.
So we've created heaven for you here and this is just about you getting all of their ideas and all of
their goals in a systematic order down on paper that you can to simply reflect back to them.
They're either going to agree with or not if they don't agree.
And this is back to the drawing board just re-establishing priorities.
And then what they're going to be able to hopefully feel is slightly more peace in the war.
Yes the half some areas in life that are working quite as well as what they need to know that to find
what these problems are they're going to be able to naturally see themselves their areas of their lives
that they need to start investing more time into today to start making progress.
People are self governing in the same way that you or your clients will be too.
So I hope this makes sense.
Remember though Lord ressource in the additional material section of this lecture and this is just about
brainstorming brain dumping.
However you do this is entirely up to you.
This is like a mind map here.
However you want to do this you can be as creative as you want.
You might even want to use online brainstorming main mucking software in which case of a touch.
I link any additional material section to a Web site called blogs but that's something that I use especially
if I am conceptualizing business related projects.
We are perhaps merging together.
Medium term goals short term goals in collecting The goes together to show how they correlate and tie
in together.
But you can use our software to create massive brainstorms or just small illustrations like this to
help people to start structuring and prioritizing the goals that they actually have.
So what this makes sense.
I look forward to seeing again in the next few whom are going to take an alternative view how it is.
We can also help people to prioritize their goals in a way that's more meaningful to them.
So I look forward to seeing again.
