\"Coaching<\/a>Prioritizing work tasks, lifestyle choices, and activities is something we all do each day.\u00a0 Sometimes we do it intentionally, and sometimes we just do and the result is we get derailed from priorities.\u00a0 Coaches use several techniques to support clients prioritizing intentionally.\u00a0 These range from exploring values to ranking competing priorities.\u00a0 Sometimes this is done in conversations and other times with visuals.\u00a0 Because coaches co-create the process with clients,<\/a> coaches both know different techniques and tools, and they also create techniques or tools in the moment with their client.<\/p>\n

Consider this scenario: The coaching client, Alice, owns a business.\u00a0 She currently has 75 people working for her company.\u00a0 She is struggling with prioritizing clients, level of involvement in different aspects of her business, and personal time.\u00a0 Alice’s coach<\/a>, Liz, cuts out circles from a piece of paper sets them in front of Alice.\u00a0 She asks Alice to label each on one side with a category of activities such as clients, accounting, employee management, exercise, relaxation, etc.\u00a0 Next Liz asks Alice to list the activities for the category on the other side of the circle.\u00a0 Then she has Alice list what percentage of her time she spends on each circle.\u00a0 Liz then asked Alice to list the percentage of time she wants to spend on each category.\u00a0 Liz cuts the circles to different sizes representing how much time Alice is spending on each category.\u00a0\u00a0 On a large piece of paper, Liz draws circles of different sizes relative to the percentage of time Alice wants to spend on each category.\u00a0 She then has Alice place the cut-out circles onto the circles on the large paper.\u00a0 The visual differences in sizes created awareness for Alice.<\/p>\n

After co-creating the visualization, Alice was motivated to take action and ensure she prioritized her time intentionally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
