As a coach with 20 + years’ experience I often find that coachees have not take the time to really tune into their values to assess what is truly important to them. Starting with a values session is the bedrock of coaching.

Purpose of Values led coaching
Values led coaching is a coaching approach that focuses on helping individuals to identify, clarify, and align with their core values.
Values are deeply held beliefs that guide our decisions, behaviours, and perceptions of success and fulfilment. By focusing on these fundamental principles, values-led coaching aims to build authenticity, purpose, and motivation in personal and professional contexts.
Key Aspects of Values-Led Coaching:
​
Clarification of Core Values: Coaches assist clients in articulating their fundamental beliefs, serving as a compass for decision-making and behaviour.
​
Alignment with Actions: By aligning actions with identified values, individuals can achieve greater coherence and satisfaction in their personal and professional lives.
​
Enhanced Decision-Making: Grounding choices in core values enables individuals to navigate complex situations with greater confidence and integrity.
​
Sustainable Motivation: Values-based coaching connects deeply held beliefs to daily actions, fostering intrinsic motivation and long-term commitment.
As a coach I always begin my leadership development programme with a focus on values. I simply ask what excites, frustrates, empowers individuals with a few simple pure coaching questions.
​
-
What is important to you?
-
What uplifts you?
-
What can make you feel frustrated?
I capture what my coachee says and simply replay back their words building a value set. I don't priorities or differentiate work, family, life and play. Our values are all encompassing for our whole life.
​
By integrating values-led coaching into personal development individuals start to build on their own authenticity, resilience, and continuous growth, leading to more meaningful and fulfilling outcomes.

As we celebrate international women’s day, I know from coaching hundreds of women that these types of values led coaching sessions are often the first time women have had time to focus on themselves.
Understanding our values is critical in building a personal aspiration and direction of travel for career paths.
My aim is that this values session becomes a tool to be used as life changes and journeys involve.
​
Values are not fixed they change as we change.

For me personally 10 years ago I would not have place a high value on my own health and wellbeing and balance. Having beaten breast cancer my wellbeing and health is my top value. Noticing our values is critical to understanding our own happiness.
