Community of practice – Executive (3)
We easily make assumption that business people understands the needs of time management or delegation. Sometimes, they have no idea of the importance. In that case, we need to do so education first.
Why Time Management is important? Why is me who needs time management? (We could change the way of communication - Let’s talk about time management. What does time management mean to you? How do you feel about time management? Then we move to the needs of time management.)
Let the team use the same language. Coach a person with educational piece.
No matter coaching, consulting, facilitating or mentoring: b specific clear of what are we doing – this is what I am doing or about to do now.

Adversity Quotient (Paul Stolz, 2000)
http://www.peaklearning.com/
Similar to resilience and hardiness, the Adversity Quotient has been proposed as an indicator of capacity to withstand and thrive on challenging circumstances specifically related to business and the workplace.
40 Developmental Assets (Search Institute)
http://www.search-institute.org/assets/
The Developmental Asset framework identifies 20 external and 20 internal assets. Each asset helps promote healthy development of young people. External assets are essentially positive experiences provided by the world, including support networks, empowerment, appropriate boundaries and expectations, and positive and constructive use of time. Internal assets are characteristics and behaviors that reflect positive internal qualities, including values and identities, social competencies, and orientation to learning. Internal assets allow young people to make thoughtful choices and be better prepared for situations that challenge inner strength.
Enneagram
http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/dis_Sample_36.asp
Personality tool based on 9 personality types. Developed with a more deeply historical and spiritual orientation than most other similar questionnaires by some leading humanistic psychologists, including Gurdjieff, Ichazo, and Naranjo. The types relate to the major roles that people seem to adopt and play in society. There is no definitive Enneagram questionnaire - various free and commercial versions are available.

How do people find you from marketing's’ perspective?
- Niche is a function of marketing. It’s not about confidence.
- Narrow it down for people to find me.
- Spend my time and energy to a target market. (A websites with different pages)
- Just do it!
What’s your advantage to the consumers?
- You have something in common
- I might look for somebody with that need
- We don’t have to know what they are doing. (I support people to see a bigger goal and take action to achieve it.)
They always know the how and what. We do not apply our knowledge but unearth the knowledge of them.
Broaden my circle and scope of coaching to see what would happen.
What are my confidence and what are my skills?
What makes a good coach?
A person who has common living experience could integrate and articulate those experience which shows up their giving.
What can I do or not do right now?
Make you more findable – with your name as the website’s name. ^^
Women want to be more powered. (Refer to Merci’s blog)
Rolling with Life’s punches
Life is
10% what happens to you
90% how you look at it
- Setbacks are temporary (Look with the inspirations)
- No one’s to blame (not why but get into how: do not ask why questions but how questions)
Recession Depression
- Stay in the moment
- Take some action
(1) Laugh with friends
(2) Walk for exercise
(3) Listen to music
(4) Sleep (7 hours, 4 times a week)
(5) Keep a journal

Is there any question about life coaching?
How to present coaching?
- Let audience experience coaching and explain it a little bit. Use the wheel of Life – Coaching tools (search from Mind tools.com) People want the experience to convince them and some take away. Toleration of a coach.
- Talk about strengths
- Coach.net: there are tools on it.
Exercise of “The Wheel of Life” (refer to “The Wheel of Life.doc”)
- Draw a circle with 8 dimensions
Define dimensions
- Roles in life
- Areas in life
- or a combination
Draw two circles (how much attention you want you pay on each dimension? From 1 to 10)
1. Expectation – ideal situation
2. Current situation
3. Find the gap between two circles
4. The gap could be discussed
5. Find the coaching moment in discussion for a further coaching relationship
Does your life look balanced? How do you notice on the wheel? What is the information you getting from your wheel? What is it showing you? How do you feel about it? Does it surprise you?
After several weeks, we could draw the wheel again and compare the difference.
When you look at the mind tool, they would lead to goal setting and action plan. How to get the balance of it? Where are you and where you wanna be?
For a group, we may also two people to share their life wheel and action plan.
The visual is a Wheel. Does your life wheel look and feel balanced. Look is one way and feel is another. A balance life does not mean you get 10 of each dimension. Some area would needs more attention.
