How do I add most value? What do people regularly say I am good at? If I think of a time that I significantly influenced others what specifically did I do? When do I feel most confident and control in my work? How does my company or client benefit from my approach? What makes me unique?

CLARITY CONVICTION

When do I feel less than confident in my work? Could I be a better communicator? If so how could I improve? Are there times when I wish I could be better in my role, if so when? What do I consistently worry about in my work? What do I see in others that I would like to see in myself? What do I find challenging?

“I always get really nervous before I speak in front of a large audience” “I make a mess of securing actual business because I hate discussing the fee” “Other people are much better than me at communicating their views at meetings” “I am not confident enough to share my creative ideas – what if they are not good enough” “I am ok at what I do, I will never be great”

Transforming Limiting Beliefs Identifying the evidence that does NOT support it Define a new more empowering belief and re-programme through affirmations Recognition of limiting beliefs that have held you back

“ It is the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief and once that belief becomes a deep conviction things begin to happen” – Muhammad Ali

“ To effectively communicate we must realise that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to communicating with others” – Anthony Robbins

What is motivating this individual? What communication style does this person use? Assertive/ Reflective/ Impatient/ Measured/ Energetic? How is this individual viewing this meeting/ encounter? What type of language does this person respond best to? What is the best outcome for this meeting/ encounter? Do I know my audience?
