How to Use Your Core Values

June 10, 2019 / Dale Wilsher / 8 Authenticity Essentials, Life Coaching /

As an added benefit for newsletter subscribers (thank you!), I’d like to offer you the Core Values Worksheet that I use with my clients and show you how it works. You can download the PDF of this chart straight from the June Newsletter. This is a private blog just for you and has not been posted publicly.

Before you use this chart, I recommend that you read The Hidden Part of an Authentic Life and How to Discover Your Core Values to create your top ten core values list. Once you have all ten in prioritized order, you are ready to use this chart.

Let’s look at two clients, Mary and Martha, to see how they’ve used their values list to lead a more authentic life.

How to Discover your Core Values

May 10, 2019 / Dale Wilsher / 8 Authenticity Essentials, Life Coaching /

In the last post, you were introduced to the Hidden Part of an Authentic Life, your core values. Your core values are the principles that are most important to you. They are the fuel that ignites you, fires you up, and propels you forward.

THREE BENEFITS TO KNOWING YOUR CORE VALUES

1. Your core values provide motivation. According to the Institute for Life Coaching Training, when we align our goals to our values, we move ten times faster toward the change we are seeking. Now that’s exciting!

2. When you label your core values it provides you with authority over your desires. This way you are in control of your values and not the other way around.

3. Knowing your core values allows for greater authenticity. When you identify what’s important to you, you’re able to make decisions that align with your authentic self instead of the opinions of others.… Read the rest

Do you like your personality?

August 11, 2018 / Dale Wilsher / Life Coaching, Personality Types /

Can you keep a secret? I like my personality.

This isn’t easy for me to admit. First, as a born and bred good girl, I learned that it’s not polite to talk about your strengths because you might appear conceited or make someone feel bad about themselves. If I was complimented, the correct response was “No, I’m not” or “You are too” for the reasons mentioned above. It was okay for me to talk about the parts of me that I didn’t like, but it wasn’t acceptable to speak of those qualities that I did. And eventually as a practicing good girl, I lost the ability to see my own strengths.

Second, as a good girl I learned that femininity meant that I should be meek, mild and accommodating although I am not naturally any of these things. … Read the rest

If I Were Your Personality Coach…

July 27, 2018 / Dale Wilsher / Life Coaching, Personality Types /

The first thing I like to know when I start to work with a client is their personality tendency, so I always start with a DISC test. The DISC report gives me an indication of who my client is but also how I can help.

So, what’s a DISC?

A DISC assessment is a test to determine your behavioral style. First conceptualized by psychologist William Marston (also the creator of Wonder Woman—so we love him even more) in the 1920s and later validated by a variety of training organizations, the DISC is the most widely used personality tool in corporate America with over 40 million employees tested.

The DISC reveals your behavioral style in 4 areas: Dominance (D), Influence (I), Steadiness (S), and Compliance (C).

Ds are your get ‘er done people who move fast and with authority.… Read the rest

If I were your life coach…Part 1

July 13, 2018 / Dale Wilsher / Life Coaching /

If I were your life coach, first of all, I’d be honored that you would allow me into your life. I consider it a high privilege to be trusted with both the difficulties and the desires of a woman’s heart.

I’d also be protective of what you share with me. (As an ICF-certified coach, confidentiality is a primary concern.)

And I’d be excited to get started. I’d want you to understand who you are and what you’ve been created to do (and not do), so you can live your life to the full as quickly as possible.

The first thing we’d do is get on the phone for a thirty minute inquiry session to talk about your life and see if my coaching is a good fit for you.

I’d ask you a few questions:

What’s going on in your life right now?… Read the rest
