COACHING PROMPT OF THE WEEK

“What would you like your legacy to be, and how can you start building it today?” 

Questions of legacy often evoke a variety of responses.  They might bring up core values that you want to tap into, or strengths that you’re known for.  Thinking about your legacy and how you’d want to be remembered requires a bit of visioning, thinking about long-term goals and what it would take to achieve them.  Consider these additional questions:

• What kind of impact do you want to leave on the world?

• Who are the people whose lives you want to positively influence?

• What small steps can you take today to start building your legacy

Remember that coaching isn’t telling! Coaching is about staying curious and making space for those in our care to become confident authors of their own stories.

RECOMMENDED READING

"Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers" is a fantastic book by Neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky that explores the impact of stress on the human body. The book argues that while zebras may experience acute stress from predators, humans often suffer from chronic stress due to modern-day pressures and worries. This chronic stress can lead to a variety of health problems, including ulcers, heart disease, and depression.

The book offers practical advice for managing stress and improving overall well-being, including techniques for relaxation, mindfulness, and time management. By understanding the science behind stress and implementing effective coping strategies, readers can mitigate the negative effects of stress on their health and happiness.
