Happy Women’s History Month!
I created the following success coaching exercise a few months back while working with a young success coaching client who had come to me to improve her self esteem and increase her ability to NOT be affected so much by the opinions of others. A beautiful, creative and talented high school student yet she felt unattractive and did not believe in her abilities. The written journal exercise, which I also did, seemed to work pretty well so I thought I would share it here. I thought it appropriate for Women’s History Month (you will get why when you read the suggested steps below).
Step 1: Reflect on Women You Admire and create a list of at least 5.
Step 2: Reflect on and write down the attributes they have that you admire.
Step 3: If you can, pick your favorite of this list. Reflect on and write down just a few notes about the legacy that she left the world or is currently building.
Step 4: What challenges did she overcome in her life and how?
Step 5: What challenges have you overcome? What challenges do you currently face?
Step 6: Reflect on and write down a few of your best attributes.
Step 7: Write a brief paragraph on the legacy that you wish to leave the world. What will history say about you and the work you have done?
Step 8: Step back and read what you have written and reflect on what comes up for you.
