Activity #1

Advice and Feedback


Most unhappiness and frustration is due to the misalignment of our core values with our
daily lives. Discovering our core values is essential to goal setting, decision-making and
enjoying a better work-life balance.

Clients should be able to determine the time that they spend on activities that are not
important to them, so that they are able to make time for those things that matter to them
the most.

After discovering your core values, we understand that work is what we do but that it
does not define who we are. You learn the areas of your life that need adjusting, in order
to progress on the path that you really want. This may involve making extra time for
learning, studying, training or practice.

Activity #2

Advice and Feedback


SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic/Relevant and Timely.
These five attributes help transform dreams into actual goals that can be achieved
through commitment and a practical plan of action plan.

Each client may have different goals, and these may be related to several different
areas of life, including family, career, finances, leisure/hobbies, relationships, spiritual
or physical health, fitness and personal development.

Regardless of the area of life that the goal relates to, it needs to satisfy the SMART
criteria, so that the client is able to make a plan of action, in order to achieve this goal.
