Episode 179: Coaching Tools - Strengths and Values Cards

Strengths and values are both fantastic topics to discuss with your coaching clients. And we are often asked about the ways we might explore them in the coaching room.

While we have explored both strengths and values in previous podcast episodes, we haven't really talked about a rather brilliant tool Tom created to help explore both topics.

Some time ago, Tom created a pack of strengths and values coaching cards that work splendidly to help coaching clients uncover their strengths and recognise their values. The cards allow for both the clarity of words and the creativity of images to come together to produce a whole brain response in clients as they work with the cards to explore either their strengths or values, or both.

Join us in this episode, as we chat about how the cards came to be and how you might use them in the coaching room.

Resources:

More on these cards, and some of the exercises you can use with them can be found here: https://yourcoachingjourney.com/discovery/

In episode 160 we introduced the Stoic philosophers and suggested that a few of the questions that stemmed from that group might be useful to ask in a coaching session.

Today we explore a couple of latin phrases that have their origins in stoic philosophy. One of the phrases that we discuss on this episode of the podcast reminds us of what it is to be human and to have a finite amount of time on the planet.

The other phrase reminds us that much of life is outside of our control, and that accepting the events that have occurred as we travel along our journey can serve us well and feed into a balanced sense of subjective well-being.

Join us as we explore some of the wisdom the Greeks and the Romans left behind for us.

Social media is an interesting place, isn't it? We often see posts, ideas, challenges, or just different perspectives that make us think. We regularly see people's take on what coaching is, and what is, or isn't, important when it comes to choosing a coach.

In this episode, we share our thoughts on what someone might consider if they're thinking about hiring a coach. From checking their qualifications, insurance and professional memberships, to looking at their online presence, recommendations and testimonials. And perhaps most importantly, we talk about having a conversation with a potential coach before deciding whether they're the right coach and committing to working with them.

There are a few simple things that those looking for a coach might do to ensure they're making an informed choice. This means that, as coaches, we can also be thinking of these points ourselves to make the most of the opportunity to market our coaching.

The same considerations are also useful for anyone looking for a therapist, so this is one episode that could be worth sharing with someone who is considering either.
