CGC5: Working with values

This module makes the distinction between Foundational Values and Inspirational Values.

Oftentimes corporate clients end up with values that are very important but not necessarily inspiring. With these more foundational values, it’s likely that the client ends up with some important understanding about themselves and their work place. This can be ground shaking and powerful for them, but it’s not necessarily getting them inspired.

The second part of the Values module is how to work with inspiring values. It’s all well and good to name some values at the beginning of a coaching relationship, but if they aren’t used throughout coaching, why bother? Clients can become very inspired and motivated when they see the connection between what they are doing and their most deeply-held values.
