How To Perform A Life & Leadership Assessment

We must start where we are. This week, you are learning to check in and how to perform a life and leadership assessment.

Make sure to click here to schedule your first session to perform a leadership assessment with your coach.

In this session, we will learn to perform a 3x3 check-in and an embodied leadership assessment together.

From a place of groundedness, we will review your level of satisfaction in life from 8 perspectives then we will pick three focus areas for your next season of work in this program.

As we do this life and leadership assessment, you will be asked to notice where your protective parts are running the show in each area. This is where embodied leadership begins. You must become conscious of your present state of being in specific situations.

As leaders, in order to grow, we must become conscious of the protective, reactive managerial parts of us that anxiously and avoidantly rule our lives, work, and relationships. As we learn to self-resource these parts, we become more grounded, powerful, and responsive leaders who, in turn, can help others regulate and respond to challenges as well.

Through this process of bringing awareness to somatic states of being, we will learn to craft new and powerful embodied stretches to self-resource in the heat of battle or the whirlwind of our lives and work.

This is how we find our edges and do the deep, vulnerable, transformative work of embodied leadership training. This, in turn, allows us to access the qualities of our complete whole Self, which is always calm, courageous, caring, creative, compassionate, purposeful, playful, powerful, patient, and present.

Practicing embodied leadership allows you to calm your reactive, avoidant, needy, fight-or-flight reactions to challenges so you can learn to respond consciously with more access to your executive functions.

Learning to respond to challenges in work and life by bringing our awareness into our bodies to calm and soothe our reactive parts is the only way to maintain a connection to our human wholeness while increasing our performance and bringing our visions to life!

This is the beginning and the end of embodied leadership training.

Before we go any further, I want you to reflect on your relationship with your embodied Self before going through this program.

Answer the following question even if it seems confusing and you don’t know what we are talking about. We will return here in three and six months to reflect on how your relationship with this question has deepened.

What is your relationship with your embodied Self?

Step 1: Life Wheel Assessment

In 10 Min. Yes, only 10 min. Rate your level of satisfaction on a scale of 1-10 in each of the eight life categories below. 1 = not satisfied and 10 = most satisfied. As you do this, jot down notes about your reasons on Step 2. While you do this you can flip to the next page to take notes that pop up in your mind about why you are giving the rating that you are. Giving each zone a satisfaction rating and to document/connect with what each category means to you is important.
