Knowing your purpose in any given instance is a great way of achieving rapport with yourself. Learn to live your life purposefully and do your best to teach your clients to live purposefully as well.
One Simple Shift
Pick a purpose for virtually every meeting, every project and every interaction you have.
For instance, my purpose in this moment is to connect with you. Likewise, it´s to help you understand the value of building rapport both in your life and your coaching practice.
Tell me, what would life be like if you picked a purpose for every meeting that you go into? What about for every conversation that you have?
Whether it be with your son or daughter, with your boss, your best friend or with a service representative of a local company. How might things go differently, if you had an intention and a purpose for how you want things to go on your side of that conversation or interaction?
That´s the first step to intentional living and, when you live intentionally, you live with purpose.
Ready To Live Purposefully?
Experience has shown me that you really can transform your life by doing something this simple. Furthermore, I think you will be surprised by the positive effect making this one simple shift could have on your life.
Give it a try and see for yourself.
Think about what it means for you to live purposefully and consider exactly what you want out of the next interaction or conversation you have. The clearer you are on the results you are after, the easier it is to guide situations in a way that helps you achieve them.
So, before you have your next meeting, conversation or some kind of exchange with another person, ask yourself: What will I do, what will I say, and who will I need to be in this conversation?
