CHAPTER 1
Figuring Out Who You Want to Be

Who Am I As a Coach?

This activity will introduce you to the content of this chapter and will help you begin to articulate a vision for yourself as a coach.
The activist Grace Lee Boggs once said that if you want to transform the world, you have to transform yourself. If you aspire to be a Transformational Coach, we echo this need for personal transformation. We also guarantee you'll find this a worthwhile journey—that your transformation will have ripples of positive influence in all aspects of your life. You'll first embark on this journey by getting to know yourself better. As you come to understand how your values influence how you show up in the world, you'll find yourself feeling more empowered and confident. As you understand your personality type, you'll find ways to be more effective. As you recognize the role your identity markers play in how you coach, you'll learn new ways to connect with others. This chapter will set you on the part of this learning journey which is about who you are. We think you'll enjoy this learning—it feels affirming and energizing.
Before you get started, storyboard your journey using some imagination and visualization. This workbook serves as a guide in becoming the coach you want to be, and a good place to start that journey is creating a vision of who you are as that coach. This activity will also help you reflect at a later time (when you reach the end of this workbook) on how much you've grown.
In the first box, draw the way you perceive yourself now. Stick figures are fine. Thought or speech bubbles are also great. The point is to create a simple visual that reflects how you feel about yourself as a coach now. In the second box, do the same—but imagine yourself a year from now, after learning about coaching and practicing Transformational Coaching. Feel free to use a separate sheet of paper if you find you need more than the provided boxes to capture this visualization.

Identifying Core Values

This activity will help you identify your core values. This is also an activity that we highly recommend when you begin working with a new coachee. You can download this activity from our website, https://brightmorningteam.com
We all have what are considered core values, but often we're not aware of what those are. Core values are foundational pillars that form our ways of being, our beliefs, and our behaviors. By identifying those values, we form a much deeper understanding of how they show up in the three Bs and beyond. We recommend revisiting this exercise at least once per year and using that opportunity to reflect on how these values grow and change (or stay the same) over time.

Process
