Again, they could be thinking life purpose or they could be thinking career. For some people it\u2019s mixed, but for some people life purpose is just too hard. They just want something that will fulfill them. It\u2019s not much different, but that way you can say it in words they can understand. You can say, let\u2019s find a career direction, something you can do with your life that will make an impact and have you feel fulfillment, which is what they\u2019re after.<\/p>\n<p>Let me give you a model that I have been using with my clients. I\u2019ve had mixed success with it, but for some people it works really well. The model is Vision, Mission, Games. How it works is, I have them write down their vision if the world was perfect, what would they want for their vision? It has to include more than them. Then once they\u2019ve got that, they write a mission: how they will personally bring about that vision. Maybe world peace is the vision or harmony between all people. The mission might be something like, to expand people\u2019s awareness of who they are and inspire them to grow. Mission doesn\u2019t have to be that specific. I like to have the vision and the mission be quite broad. The games, or projects is another word for this, are anything you can do that would contribute to that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is an excerpt from Top Coaching Techniques.
