Self-Discovery Coaching Worksheet

Six steps, and the goals come last on purpose. Goals set before you know what you value tend to belong to someone else, often a parent or a job title that would sound good at a reunion.

Your values come first, then the beliefs you hold about yourself, the things you enjoy, the experiences that shaped you, and an honest list of strengths and weaknesses. Only then do you write goals, starting with a brain dump and finishing with four, each with a date against it.

It gives you ten lines for beliefs about yourself. You don't have to fill them, and if the later ones start to sound like what you think you ought to believe, stop there.

How I'd use it

On your own, give it an evening rather than a lunch break. If you coach, it makes good pre-work before a first session: ask the client to stop before the goals and bring those into the room.

Also in: Strategic Self-Leadership, £17, with the Behaviour Chain Analysis and the Coachability set.

For coaches: it's in the Coaches Starter Library, with one licence for every client you see.
