Dear Friends,

Happy New Year!

It’s always at this time of year that most people start to reflect on their life. After the general overindulgence of the seasons’ celebrations, the New Year is a time to consider what changes they want to introduce. Typically, new year’s resolutions are based on behaviours such as: giving up smoking, eating less, exercising more, or external goals such as: changing job, moving house, earning more money. These goals are great, but rarely last through to February. What if we were to set a different goal for ourselves? And ask the question:

Who do I want to become?

In coaching, addressing the ‘who’ generally gets you closer to the core of the situation. It initiates change on a deeper level by identifying with a particular characteristic. What kind of person do I want to be? Considerate, playful, dynamic? How do I want others to view me? Patient, loving, supportive? What skills do I want to develop? Forgiveness, courage?

I’d like to put it to you, to ask yourselves these questions. In twelve months time, how would you like to have changed? Who will you have become?

Take care and best wishes,

Michelle Lewis
