Good leadership is about leading yourself, your team and your organization effectively to realize your individual and collective goals. This begins with leading yourself first. Here’s why. Your personality, habits, beliefs, and attitudes decide your working style, ethics, and the relationships you build at work. This means that you can be your greatest asset or hindrance. Leadership coaching can aid in building the right mental, emotional, and behavioral toolkits for yourself or your leaders. You can also use coaching to shape leaders aligned with your organizational values and goals. Why leadership coaching? Consulting and training can upgrade your skills. A mentor can guide you to perform better. But these interventions are highly transactional and depend upon the cognitive domain. They also make your leadership development dependent on external sources. This is where coaching stands apart. It goes deeper to focus on you as a person and not just your skills. It provides you with a highly effective methodology for self-growth with the ultimate aim of making you a self-sustaining model of leadership development. Coaching is rapidly becoming part of LD programs and is a show of confidence by organizations in their leaders. Leadership coaching is a highly personalized and customized intervention where the coach and leader partner on a self-exploratory journey to identify limiting beliefs & behaviors and set actionable goals, leading to inner growth and transformation. The following features make it highly impactful – ➢ Change is self-driven, not externally imposed ➢ Holistic focus on the person as a whole & not just the leader ➢ Setting achievable, time-bound goals ➢ Safe space for honest introspection ➢ A non-judgmental accountability partner by your side Leadership coaching is highly effective for leaders at all levels. Whether you are starting out on your leadership journey or are a veteran, you can surely benefit from coaching. Benefits of leadership coaching for the Leader The benefits of leadership coaching go far, wide, and deep. Inner transformation through coaching is an incredibly powerful process that impacts not just you but all who come into your circle of influence. Professional benefits of leadership coaching Your professional excellence isn’t of much help when it comes to leading others. Potent leadership requires a combination of IQ-led performance, EQ-led people skills, and SQ (spiritual quotient)-led purpose. Leadership coaching gives you the opportunity to leverage all three to fortify your leadership abilities. 1) Identify limitations & strengths Wouldn’t it be nice to look in the mirror and see yourself for who you truly are, inside-out? Coaching puts a mirror on you and provides the opportunity for honest self-scrutiny to identify & root out conscious and unconscious shackles that limit you from leading effectively. They could be your perspectives, personality traits, biases, or beliefs. The same mirror can be used to discern empowering traits and decide how you can nurture and leverage them. 2)Improve performance A leadership coach can partner with you to address challenges preventing you from performing optimally. They could be defeating habits, poor time management, or gaps in technical know-how. 3) Provide unbiased feedback Feedback is a vital step in leadership development. But how often do we get truly unbiased, unprejudiced, and non-agenda-driven feedback? Rarely, right? And as we go up the increasingly lonely ladder of seniority, it becomes difficult to get feedback at all. A coach is an equal partner with no vested interests. They are in your corner. And therefore, they can provide unfiltered, unbiased feedback. 4) Refine communication Do you put your message across with clarity? Do your words motivate or have the opposite effect? Do you listen actively? It does not matter if you are proficient in your core skill. Leading others requires mastering the art of communication. Use coaching to detect your communication gaps & plan ways to fill them. 5) Improve strategic vision and decision-making A leadership coach can be your thinking partner in exercising your ability to think ten steps ahead and make confident decisions. 6) Cultivate leadership persona Do you have that X-factor that makes you stand apart from the crowd? Coaching can enable you to build a positively alluring persona that can inspire the confidence of your team and superiors. 7) Role transition You are a technical stalwart suddenly placed in a strategic leadership role, and you feel like a fish out of water. Don’t worry. You can land on your feet with a leadership coach by your side. They can propel you to overcome your inhibitions and limiting beliefs. They can also function as a safe sounding board. Personal benefits of leadership Coaching You may have chosen leadership coaching for professional advancement. However, since You are the focus of coaching, you will find the benefits of coaching cascading into other aspects of your life. In fact, leaders discover that many fixes for professional growth stem from addressing areas pertaining to their personal lives The most common personal benefits of leadership coaching are: 1) Improve work-life integration Does your work keep you away from home more than it should? You can use coaching to discover smart options to put in the best at work without compromising on your health, interests, or family life. 2) Meaningful relationships The process of self-introspection and self-awareness helps us identify and address any lacunae in our most cherished relationships. 3) Job/Career transitions Are you at a crossroads and not sure what to do? A coaching engagement can de-clutter your mind and give you clarity on the best way forward. You can also chalk out a robust post-retirement plan with your leadership coach. 4) Finding purpose A leadership coach can help you shine a light on your north star, renew your life purpose, and thus recharge your leadership journey. 5) Authenticity We are a mix of three people – who others think we are, who we think we are, and third, who we really are. In most cases, there is a lack of congruence between the three. Coaching can enable us to align these three facets and thus be authentic, genuine individuals. Your business – organizational benefits of leadership coaching Organisational benefits of leadership Coaching The ultimate impact of leadership coaches is felt by the organization. All the improvements at the individual level translate into synergy at the team level, which then crystallizes measurable outcomes for the organization. 1) Increased revenue When you empower your leaders with leadership coaching, they can function from their potential and motivate their teams to do so. This has a direct, visible impact on your topline. 2) Preparing the leadership pipeline It requires vision and careful planning at least 2-3 years in advance. Leadership coaches can groom high-potential leaders to acquire the right skills, mindset, and leadership persona to fit the roles meant for them. Organizations use coaching to align leaders with its values and vision. Coaches can also provide feedback regarding the readiness of a leader for the top post. 3) Coaching culture Leaders who have benefitted from coaching are more likely to bring a coaching culture into their organizations. And this is proving to be directly related to increased engagement and employee satisfaction. 4) Create high-performing teams Organizations can use leadership coaching to enable leaders to lead teams more effectively by identifying blindspots, removing the silo mentality, and improving communication skills. 5) Change management Expansions and M&A are turbulent for organizations. Leadership coaching can help smoothen these transitions and prepare leaders to amicably adapt to change. Leadership coaches can prepare leaders of organizations to be more agile and flexible when faced with adverse circumstances. 6) Reduce attrition A nurturing leader & a supportive coaching culture can skyrocket employee engagement and reduce attrition. The annual Gallup survey revealed that in 2022, employee engagement was at a seven-year low. You can consider coaching as an intervention to reverse the trend for your organization. These are just some of the most tangible benefits of leadership coaching. Every leader has a unique tale to share about how coaching transformed their quality of leading and life manifold. Reach out to us if you want to create your own magical tale of holistic success and fulfillment – for yourself or for your leaders.

“What you have achieved holds less significance than ‘how’ you have achieved it”—Regal Unlimited. While the accomplishments are celebrated, all the achievers know that the merit is always in the journey, not the destination. At Regal Unlimited, all three are important, the journey, the destination, and the company that keeps the journey exciting and memorable. “I am a ‘so and so’ coach.” I am sure this line sounds like music to your ears because becoming a ‘coach’ demonstrates mastery of domain expertise. A standard query is, ‘How can we become an ICF-Coach?’ While the process is quite simple, there is a lack of authentic content to simplify and explain the process. This blog will chart the path to becoming an ICF-ACC coach. We will keep this blog in Q&A format and answer the most frequently asked questions by beginners and aspiring coaches. Brace yourselves for a simple yet defining #Regal Ride. What is Coaching? Coaching is a transformational process and a framework that allows individuals to reach their full potential. It aims at maximizing potential and focuses on personal and professional growth. ICF defines coaching as a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to maximize your potential (Credits: https://coachingfederation.org/) It takes you from where you are to where you want to be. It is meant to take the client to a more resourceful state. It can challenge your self-limiting beliefs, spotlight your strengths, expose your blind spots (and we all have them), and let you shine with the brilliance you deserve. Coaching is the most customer-centric profession where the client is a true hero and, simultaneously, the coach has a detached-attached relationship with the client. You can learn more about it here. What does a Coach do? A coach partners with the client in the process, inspiring them to maximize their personal and professional potential. He/She/They ‘ask’ rather than ‘tell’. This allows the client to explore the space for solutions and empowers them to find their answers. Through conversations, a coach holds a mirror for the client so that they can grow professionally and personally. A professional coach uses the framework of ICF/EMCC, not frameworks based on personal experience. A coach is also a cheerleader, believing in the client’s potential and cheering for him/her/them to accomplish it. (Did we start describing who is a ‘good coach’, well it was deliberate to outline the essentials:) What is ICF? We repeated the term “ICF often. You might be wondering what it’s all about. Let us understand. The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the gold standard in coaching. ICF is a not-for-profit organization committed to promoting the science, art, and practice of professional coaching. With the world’s largest network of professionally trained coaches, ICF is a leading organization in the coaching field. Thomas Leonard, one of the pioneers in coaching, started ICF in 1995. With the support of volunteers and growing interest, ICF began its efforts to raise the standard of professional coaching. Why is it necessary to be an ICF-ACC certified coach? ICF Methodology trains a coach to develop the right attitude, skills, and mindset. The ICF coach training competencies provide an empowering framework for coaches and enhance their credibility. It is more likely for a client to go with a coach with an ICF credential than a non-certified/yet-to-be-certified one. ICF has designed a rigorous and relevant curriculum with a strong focus on the practice of coaching as opposed to a purely theoretical approach. An affiliation with an international brand like ICF gives the coach an edge. ICF members also subscribe to the ICF code of ethics. Coaching is a process; like every process, it must have a clearly defined framework. ICF provides us with a robust framework. Years of research and updates to incorporate international best practices support it. Becoming an ICF coach gives one the confidence to use the framework to be a part of the coaches’ network on a larger scale and beyond. Coaching impacts lives. We consider it the best way to give the best service to the coachee and client. Hence, a well-validated framework ensures the highest quality of coaching for clients. Your client deserves the best; an ICF credential ensures you are the ‘best’ in coaching. What are the different types of coaching? And do we need separate training? There are various niches in coaching. It is common to wonder if you need different training for different niches. However, these niches are just extensions of ICF coaching. ICF believes in pure and classical coaching, which has a foundational “How to Coach” framework. It is to train you on the aspects that encompass coaching. Once you master that, you can use it to choose any niche you prefer (based on your preferences). There is no need for separate certification or training after earning the ICF certification. Selecting a niche is more about targeting your clientele than your ability to coach them. Once you have gained the right nuances, you may change your niche depending on your preference for which segment of the population you want to cater to. You may choose any niche and apply the ICF framework and process. The ICF certification is universally applicable (hence the global brand). Pure and classical coaching is just learning the art and science of coaching and applying it as it is. The cherry on the cake is that identifying the coaching niche and building a brand around it is an integral part of the ICF curriculum at Regal Unlimited. What is a Coaching Credential? Oxford defines “credentials” as a qualification or an achievement primarily used to indicate someone’s eligibility or suitability for something. A coaching credential attests to the ability to coach by a third party who is qualified to do so, in this case, the ICF. ICF provides three levels of credentials. – Associate Certified Coach – ICF ACC – Professional Certified Coach – ICF PCC – Master Certified Coach – ICF MCC What is the difference between certification and credentialing? ICF does not provide training directly. It has accredited certain coach training institutes to provide the required training hours and the curriculum duly approved by the ICF. Regal Unlimited is one such coach training institute. After completing the training hours and mentoring, the Coach Training Institute certifies the learner-coach as a professional coach. But ICF credentialing requires two more steps: successfully completing the performance evaluation and the ICF credentialing exam. If only the coach qualifies in these evaluations, ICF issues the credentials. Certification is a precondition for ICF credentials. The ICF offers the Coach Training Institute, which issues certifications and credentials. More on this in the section: Steps to Become an ICF-ACC Coach. What is ICF-ACC Certification? Associate Certified Coach or ICF ACC Certification is the process whereby ICF-ACC aspirants go through the accredited training program offered by the ICF Accredited Training Institute(s) (like Regal Unlimited) to get ICF ACC certification. Hence, they become eligible to apply for the credentials of ICF-ACC. ICF-ACC is one of the three credentials offered by ICF. You can also look at some of the FAQs for more information. Who is an ACC (Associate Certified Coach)? ICF determines that an ICF-ACC coach finishes 60 hours of coach-specific training through accredited training programs, finishes 10 hours of mentor coaching by an ICF-certified ACC, PCC, or MCC, and 100 hours of client coaching experience. In addition, he/she/they need to qualify the evaluation process conducted to check the understanding of the ICF framework and ethics. What skills does the ICF-ACC have? ICF-ACC, being the beginner’s level of coaching, involves certain aspects like Strategic questioning, Action-planning, and the like to support the client in uncovering the knowledge required to find the solution to the problem and planning for the goals accordingly. Although ICF-ACC is skilled in the 8 Core Competencies curated by the ICF, they may not be competent to coach the ‘Who‘ aspect rather than the ‘What‘ aspect. Furthermore, an ICF-ACC can upskill to coach the ‘Who‘ aspect at a PCC Level. How can I become an ICF-ACC certified coach? To become an ICF ACC, one requires to fulfil the following- 60+ Coach Training Hours 10 Mentoring Hours 100+ Client Coaching Hours Successful Completion of the Performance Evaluation Successful completion of Credentialing Exam Step 1: Coach Training Hours It involves 60 hours of coach training, including synchronous (minimum 50%) and asynchronous learning. Step 2: Mentoring ICF mandates that the MCC/PCC credential coaches provide a minimum of 10 hours of mentoring as part of the curriculum by the MCC/PCC credential coaches. Step 3: Coaching Practice The learner must clock in at least 100 hours of coaching practice to qualify for the required ICF-ACC norms. Step 4: Successful Completion of Performance Evaluation It further involves the submission of one of the recordings of the coaching conversations for the performance evaluation. Learner-Coach is expected to demonstrate the application of the concepts and competencies in this recording to qualify for the next step. Step 5: Successful Completion of the ICF-ACC Credentialing Exam Lastly, the ICF Credentialing Exam is a psychometric test conducted by the ICF to evaluate the conceptual understanding of the ICF Framework and coaching competencies. Once the learner successfully passes this exam, ICF issues the ACC credential to the learner. However, becoming an ICF ACC involves more than just training and undergoing specific steps in the journey to credentialing. It requires a mindset that gets develops as one explores the process. A brief account of ICF-ACC Credential Pathways Formerly, before 2023, ICF-ACC Credentials could be obtained through 3 Pathways- – ACTP – ACSTH – Portfolio The path used to apply for the ICF-ACC credential was determined by the training provided by the accredited training programs. All three paths had the exact requirements, resulting in the same ACC credential. However, the specifics of each path varied depending on the training or education provided. However, starting in 2023, a level-based system will replace the above paths. Updated ICF-ACC Credential Pathway (w.e.f. 2023) ICF unveiled the new accreditation framework for coaching education and training programs in November 2021 to ” set the best standards for coach-specific education in the world.” The ACTP and ACSTH designations are replaced by this new accreditation structure’s level-based system, which aligns with the ICF Credential levels. You can refer here for further questions on ICF Coaching Education’s new Accreditation Structure. The ICF-ACC Credential can be obtained through education at Level 1. Organizations that provide at least 60 contact hours of learning, 10 hours of mentoring by a qualified mentor coach, and performance evaluations at or above the ICF-ACC level are considered to be at ICF Level 1 (formerly ACSTH).

Regal unlimited continues to shape the coaching landscape in India. One of the efforts in that direction was our research on the coaching landscape in India. The research brought up quite a few interesting insights – ● ICF coaches earn more than Non-ICF coaches! ● 30% of our sample were ICF coaches younger than 35 years of age! Can we actually say that coaching is a grey haired profession? ● Life Coaching, Career Coaching and Executive Coaching are the top 3 popular niches. Another figure in this study caught our attention which is the subject matter of this blogpost- Millennial Coaching. Trends of Millennials at Workplace Some of the trends of Millennials at the workplace are worth noting. These insights are from a study conducted by PwC titled- Millennials at Workplace Loyalty-lite This statistic indicates the loyalty-quotient  employees feel towards their employers. ● 54% of Millennials feel that they will have 2 to 5 employers in their lifetime . ● A little over 25% expect they will have 6 or more employers in their lifetime . A time of compromise This statistic highlights that many millennials feel that they have to make compromises when finding a job. ● 72% of millennials feel that they have made some compromises to get employed. Voluntary turnover will increase as economic conditions improve. ● 38% of millennials said they were actively looking for a different role. ● Only 18% expect to stay with their current employer . Development and Work-life balance ● Millennials are committed to personal learning and development and this trumps financial reward as their first choice benefit from employers . ● Second priority is flexible working hours. ● Cash bonuses come in at a surprising third place. Work-life balance and diversity promises Millennials feel that their employers fail to deliver their promises on work-life balance and diversity. ● 28% feel that their work-life balance was worse than what they had expected before joining. ● Over 50% said that while companies talk about diversity, they did not feel that opportunities were equal for all. Techno-generation ● 75% of millennials believe that access to technology makes them more effective at work. ● Technology is often a catalyst for inter-generational conflict and many millennials feel held back by the rigid or outdated working styles. Moving up the ladder ● Career progression is the top priority for millennials who expect to rise rapidly through the organisation. ● 52% of millennials said this was the main attraction in an employer. ● Competitive salaries came second with 44% of millennials’ response . Power of employer brands and corporate responsibility ● Millennials are attracted to employer brands that they admire as consumers. ● Over 50% (as against 88% in 2008) of millennials look for employers with CSR values that matched their own. ● 56% (as against 86% in 2008) of millennials would consider leaving an employer whose values no longer met their expectations . Wanderlust Wanderlust Millennials have a strong appetite for working overseas. ● 71% of millennials expect and want to do an overseas assignment in their career . Generational Tensions Millennials say they are comfortable working with older generations and value mentors in particular. But there are signs of tension. ● 38% of millennials said that the older senior management does not relate to younger workers . ● 34% of millennials said that their personal drive was intimidating to older generations. These numbers provide a very interesting insight- Millennials value work-life balance, learning, career progression, travel and technology . As employers, companies need to satisfy these needs if they intend to retain the millennial workforce. Employer loyalty is coming down with each generation. Coaching can help address the root of the issue. How Millennial Coaching can help We are aware of the expectations that millennials have at the workplace. What would be more empowering? To meet their expectations as per our understanding or in the manner that they would appreciate? The latter of course! A classic case of good intentions not landing in the way we would want it to.

“A great mentor helps you to achieve what seem impossible.” – Mariela Dabbah “A mentor is someone who shares their knowledge, skills and/or experience, to help another to develop and grow.” A Coach is a person who empowers an individual to and maximise his/her potential. So, in a nutshell we all look up to a Coach as one who can help us reach our final destination with the required skills and enable us to reach our fullest potential. This blog helps in understanding Coach mentoring as defined by the ICF, how do they help coaches in unleashing their potential. What is coach mentoring as defined by the ICF? “The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines Mentor Coaching as providing professional assistance in achieving and demonstrating the levels of coaching competency demanded by the desired credential level sought by a coach‐ applicant (mentee).” Coach mentoring implies being coached on coaching skills and not building coaching practice. Broadly, it means observing a coaching conversation and providing feedback on the skill and alignment with core competencies as laid down under the ICF-framework. Who are the mentors to coaches and what do they do? Coach mentors are empathetic individuals with an optimistic attitude. The Coach mentors motivate mentees/coachees to realize their goals and potential. They help their mentees to set targets and achieve them. Coach mentors encourage individuals to develop their individual unique coaching style. Coach mentors provide unbiased feedback, help clients plug the gaps and improve on their core competencies. What type of clients do they help? The coach mentors provide professional help to the following kinds of clients: Help individuals who are in the process of building their coaching competencies and are probably on the path to becoming professional coaches. Coaches who need assistance in establishing their Coaching business. Coach mentors help individuals in arriving at a decision if Coaching is the right profession for them. Coach mentors help experienced coaches who are probably experiencing difficulty in their practice and help them overcome the hurdles. In some cases, coach mentors also help individuals who would probably wish to embed coaching practices into their domains. For example: counsellors, mental health professionals, Management consultants etc. The ICF Coach Mentor The ICF Coach mentor is one who listens at all levels —– the emotional, the physical, the intuitive and the intellectual levels. He/she is one who can align the skills with the core competencies as laid down by the ICF. The ICF coach mentor has a thorough knowledge of the evaluation tools that ICF employs in assessing coaching conversations which are important for credentialing. An ICF coach mentor can identify the competency that aspiring coachees/mentee must work on, to better their coaching practice. A coach mentor can recognise the gaps in the skills demonstrated by the mentees and help them plug them and gain mastery. Create a safe space for sharing feedback. A coach mentor is one who is empathetic, non-judgemental and is truly invested in his/her mentees to realize their potential Has good communication skills to articulate what is being observed and putting it across sensitively and help the aspiring coach/mentee to recognise the shortcomings and provide avenues for development. A coach mentor recognises the strengths and areas for possible improvement. A coach mentor stays focussed on skill assessments aligned to core coaching competencies. Responsibilities of a mentor coach The ICF mentor coaches ensure that the client (here the coachee/mentee) and the mentor clearly understand the objective of mentoring. Inform the client everything about the ICF Code of Ethics. Establish what is the measure of success in the partnership between the mentor coach and the mentee. Inform about the existence of the Ethical Conduct Review Board. Mentor coaches encourage the coachee/mentee to have conversations with other mentor coaches so as to find the best possible match. A mentor coach must make it very clear that mentoring does not necessarily guarantee credentialing. A mentor coach focuses primarily on developing core competencies in his/her mentee by providing periodic feedback (both oral and written) on the mentee’s coaching sessions. A mentor coach provides feedback drawing examples from the sessions, so that the mentee clearly understands the areas of improvement in order to gain mastery over his/her coaching practice. Demonstrate that he/she is completely present with the mentee and help him/her in gaining mastery in the coaching practise.

Introduction A friend said yesterday, ‘I keep wondering what is my life purpose?’ I felt he was in a beautiful space as he asked this question. In today’s busy world, how many corporate executives/leaders pause to ask such profound questions? It is good to stay in that space and allow things to manifest. The Universe will guide you to bliss, at your own pace, in a way that works for you… After all, it is the journey that matters… I spent 21 years in the corporate world. At the beginning of my second decade, a few thoughts occurred to me: ● who am I? (not the profound spiritual question). I was deep into banking and doing well. But deep within, I was not happy . ● why am I here? A question that would occasionally nag me was, ‘Am I going to spend my entire life in banking?’ And very clearly, I did not feel light. I knew then the answer was an emphatic “no.” Looking back, I am grateful I stayed in the thought process, and that perhaps helped me pivot to entrepreneurship and then professional coaching, and later coach training/mentoring. Also, healing along the way. ● what do I need to do? I had my financial goals to achieve. Or loans to repay. And also the destination to reach at least basic financial independence. I was not even dreaming of becoming rich! Later I discovered we have multiple reasons to delay the start of our own ‘Hero’s Journey’ (Joseph Campbell), The call to adventure. I was perhaps not ready for it. ● what is my #LifePurpose? Now, as a professional coach, I do this for a living. Helping leaders live their life purpose. Also, mentor aspiring coaches to live to0 their full potential. It is the same as living life purpose, I realized later. Looking back, that set off a series of changes in my life that brought me to what I am doing now… a coach & mentor. I would like to believe I am closer to my #LifePurpose. My favorite quote on life purpose is ‘the purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.’ ● Only self-satisfaction can lead to real giving. ● It is about living. That is at the core of existence. Being Regal! ● Living thus for others, not for I/me/mine. That is why our scriptures remind the importance of sacrifice to attain immortality. To live a life aligned with purpose is a matter of choice. Everyone has a choice; a few exercise choices. Regal@60, one of our popular coaching tools, is a way to identify and live a life of purpose. The Problem With Looking for a “Life Purpose” Can there be a potential downside to looking for a life purpose? “What is my life purpose?” is, in a way, an existential question. It is not easy to ask and not easy to arrive at the answer. The road to a purpose-driven life is often not easy, not a bed of roses or a walk in the park! It does not need to be full of thorns, either. We end up manifesting the journey based on our beliefs and values. But then, what is the risk of perpetually avoiding the question? Another potential problem is when we take up something without looking at all aspects but decides on impulse. In other words, misguided in any way, internally or externally. If you are guided by a professional coach, and they are also using powerful tools such as #Regal@60, you can avoid the potential pitfals of looking for your life purpose. Just as age is just a number, 60 is just a number. You can be regal, at all levels of existence, before or after 60. But if you are not reached your peak, on all important aspects of life as you define it, the odds maybe against you. A KFC founder, or a Warren Buffet are more exceptions. In the Indian context, 60 is a milestone. “Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life, he can only respond by being responsible.” – Viktor Frankl How Do You Define Life Purpose? The definition of life’s purpose differs from person to person. Our outlook toward life defines it. And that is molded by our experience from early life until now. Who I am at this point of time is the summary of all my life experiences, good or bad. I may ignore, suppress or ride on some experiences. But deep within, we are the summary of all life experiences. And we all work in progress. The beauty of life’s purpose is it is not a moving target. Once we pause to ask the deep question and take time to arrive at it, that would be the goal of life. It is beyond career, relationships, wealth, and health. All of these and more. It is thus much more than passion. Passion has a negative connotation based on the root and the early dictionary meaning. The underlying emotion is suffering. The purpose is never about I/me/mine. Hence it is not about passion. It is always about others. For example, For a professional coach, the purpose of life can be to become a successful coach – in terms of the number of clients, top-line and bottom-line equivalent. But when linked to purpose, it will be about touching lives. Looking back over the last 10 years of coaching experience, ‘I am blessed to witness the transformational shift in my clients.’ The success for the client was not because of me, nor despite me. It was because we operated at the confluence of ● The coachee, the sponsoring organization where it is corporate-sponsored, ● Me as a coach. ● Most importantly, the process of coaching. Why You’re Seeking the Purpose of Life? The trigger to move from the unknown to the known as part of our deep journey (Joseph Campbell). It is within all of us. We do not listen to it. How Does Life’s Purpose Evolve? It does not evolve if it is life’s purpose. Anything else will evolve. We have administered Regal@60 with almost all of our clients and learner coaches. When we look at the purpose from a cognitive space, it will change, or even evolve. If we look deep within, and then come up with the purpose, it is for “life”. Will not evolve. The need to evolve is also coming from our belief and biases. The Things That Keep You From Finding Your Purpose ‘This may be from a sense of duty or obligation, fear, insecurity, a sense of inadequacy, or any of a range of reasons that work to hold the person in his current circumstances,’ As Joseph Campbell will put it. (Wiki). Add to that social pressure, to peer pressure to family to the financial obligation in the form of monthly EMI (equated monthly installments for loans) Benefits of Knowing Your Purpose in Life The journey of life will be very different. The way we will handle small to big setbacks. The forces in the ecosystem that is not supporting you. The reason for living. It is said most adults live as a victim of circumstances. Many others operate from a position of command and control. Managers are good examples. Only a small percentage of people are living their life aligned with their life purpose. Some call it they are doing God’s work, beyond religion and faith. A lot of friends in corporate/business space are too busy with hamster-wheel-like life! Very few are blessed to pause for perspective. Often it is too late… Coachees who reach out to us are usually struggling (in a positive way) with this question. It is a good spate to be… to start with! Most likely I am off the hamster-wheel. How to Find Your Purpose in Life: “Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value.” – Albert Einstein There are different ways to find life purpose. All are related at some levels. Even any one of them can help us find the real purpose in life. Some of the popular approaches to find the life purpose are: 1. Read, Write, Journal – Read as much as possible, sharpen your knowledge, language, and communication skills. Make it a habit to journal every day. Find some time to reflect as a daily habit. Writing journaling, to all other writing, including fiction to storytelling, helps the brain to grow. We human beings are blessed to learn and grow all through life. But how many of us do it? ‘Just Do it’! 2. Move from Victim or Control mode to Contribute – Be part of that exclusive club of people who are not operating from a space of victimhood or control mode. Let go, and heal all relationships, including your relationship with the past. 3. Set audacious goals – We are wired to stay within our comfort zone. Dream big, work hard. 4. Develop curiosity, Manage judgments, Avoid bias – not easy, but these muscles can be built. All professional coaches are trained to develop these strengths. 5. Find your community– We were always social animals. But our work and gadgets are taking us away from it. Based on my personal experience and interaction with leaders and coaches as part of coaching & mentoring, here is my take on it. Regal@60 is a very powerful tool. It identifies the top eight elements of life in order of importance. Goals are set at 60 when we can be at our full potential. 60th birthday is the end of the 3rd Ashrama of life, Vanaprastha. Then it is Sanyasa. Hence 60th birthday is celebrated too. : By setting goals, we can start holistically working towards them. No rush, but daily focus. We will never end up regretting not living our life well. 1. Health & Wellness 2. Wealth, Abundance 3. Career, Learning 4. Family, dog 5. Professional Volunteering, Environment 6. Hobby – writing, music, speaking/storytelling 7. Travel (less for me, more for my wife) 8. Spirituality (Sadhana & Seva) Regal@60 is a coaching tool we actively use as part of our leadership/business/executive coaching. It is about stopping to ask what I want to BE… from there, what I want to DO, aligned with my #LifePurpose Living my life-purpose, I am closer to my self-actualized state (Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs). Philosophically, Nirvana or Samadi. Still better, as Master calls it, ‘Hands in Society, Head in Forest’ Let us not forget, ‘What you are seeking is seeking you’! What is your life purpose? Blissfully!
