Over the years, I’ve made it a habit to write down personal key learnings that I’ve either experienced or realized about myself. Personal key learnings are our own “ah ha’s” that we witness about ourselves. Such learnings capture the attributes, habits, traits, etc. that lend themselves to the fulfilling ways in which we prefer to live and move through life. Personal key learnings are the unique things we notice about ourselves that are worth noting and remembering. Often I’ve found that my personal key learnings mirror the ways that I honor my values. Here are a few examples: 1. When I’m passionate about something, it easily comes through in my tone of voice. 2. I feel the energy and vigor of my early twenty’s when I eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and whole grains. 3. Honoring my value of “making the most of every moment” keeps me from feelings of frustration and stress. 4. Prayer works in miraculous ways! So how do I use this concept of key learnings? Professionally, I use it in many ways to support the personal growth and self awareness of my coaching clients.
