3 Good Things To Thrive In Midlife & Beyond
These 3 Good Things are the foundation of my coaching philosophy to thrive in midlife and beyond:
- Set Your Inner Compass
- Play to Your Strengths
- Connect Your Heart & Mind
Here’s why.
You’ve done everything you’re supposed to do to set yourself up for success. You work hard. Strive to make a meaningful impact. You have a nice life and a lot to be grateful for. Sometimes you think that should be enough.
But…
Work is complicated. Circumstances change. Priorities shift. Interests expand. As a result, there’s a disconnect between what you are doing now and what you’d like to do in the future.
…maybe even with who you are deep down and how you present yourself to the world around you.
You’re ready for something more or different than your current reality, even if you can’t quite fully visualize it yet.
You know there is more to discover about yourself and what you are capable of, but you need help changing your stories to start a new chapter.
Here’s how we’ll work together on the Dragonfly Path.
Set Your Inner Compass: Values + Purpose + Priorities
Your core values influence all aspects of your life, the impact you want to make and the environment you want to work in.
Connecting to your inner self will help you to be thoughtful and strategic about what needs to change.
When you have big decisions ahead of you, defining your values, priorities and purpose is the first step in deciding how to move forward.
You’ll be provided with a Values Clarification Workbook prior to our first session.
Play to Your Strengths & Natural Talents
Gain a deeper appreciation of your natural patterns of excellence and unique gifts.
Work is meant to be challenging and to stretch your abilities, but not drown you. Just because you’re good at something, maybe even built you career on certain skills and abilities, doesn’t mean you’ve been using your strengths and the best of who you are.
Knowing & using your strengths + natural qualities will increase your energy, you’ll have more flow, satisfaction, creativity and opportunities for growth. It truly is life-enhancing to embrace your strengths.
We’ll acknowledge your “weaknesses” (aka areas of lesser strength), but spend more time developing your strengths identified in your CliftonStrengths 34 assessment, as well as other tools and resources.
It’s how you’ll experience the most growth and satisfaction.
Connect Your Heart & Mind for Greater Well-being
Show up in a way that allows you, and those around you, to thrive.
- We’ll work on managing stress & change,
- Creating quality relationships,
- Building resilience,
- Dealing with conflict, setting boundaries and
- Habits that support your well-being and peace of mind.
A combination of both emotional agility and emotional intelligence to know yourself better and respond optimally to everyday situations using your unique traits.
To focus on leadership, we’ll use the EQ-i 2.0 Emotional Intelligence assessment.
We’ll use other resources and assessments to work on specific issues that are getting in your way from showing up as your best self..
