 Coaching tip:
A powerful exercise is to:

1. Select 10 values that resonate most.
   
   

2. Narrow to 5 core values.
   
   

3. Define what each value means behaviorally (how it shows up in actions).
   
   

Example:

• Integrity → “I keep promises even when inconvenient.”
  
  

• Growth → “I intentionally learn something new every week.”

 Tip (used in strategy and culture design):
 

Most strong companies choose only 3–7 core values, not dozens. The most effective values are:

• Actionable (clear behaviors)
  
  

• Observable (you can see them in meetings and decisions)
  
  

• Used in hiring, promotion, and firing decisions
  
  

Example:

Value → Behaviour

• Customer Obsession → We solve the customer's problem before our own.
  
  

• Ownership → If you see a problem, you fix it.
  
  

• Excellence → We deliver work we are proud to sign our name to.

• Excellence → We deliver work we are proud to sign our name to.
  
  

Based on what I know about you — your career history, coaching focus, leadership style, and the challenges you’ve navigated — these values show up repeatedly in your stories, decisions, and motivations.

You consistently emphasize preparation, contribution, empowerment, resilience, and growth, both in your professional work and in how you talk about life.

Here is my best interpretation of your core values.

Your 5 Core Personal Values

1. Contribution

You repeatedly talk about adding massive value and helping people grow. Your interest in coaching, mentoring, and teaching reflects a deep desire to serve and uplift others.

Behavior signals

• Mentoring and coaching others
  
  

• Wanting to give back to the community
  
  

• Measuring success by the value you create for people
  
  

2. Growth

You invest heavily in learning, training, and developing yourself. Even during unemployment you spent time learning through courses, videos, and self-development.

Behavior signals

• Studying coaching for 3 years
  
  

• Continuous learning (marketing, leadership, coaching)
  
  

• Belief that education pays back many times over
  
  

3. Resilience

• You talk about empowering people
  
  

• You measure success in terms of value created for others
  
  

This is a legacy-oriented value.

People with this meta-value often move toward:

• coaching
  
  

• teaching
  
  

• leadership
  
  

• mentoring

Evidence:

One Interesting Observation

Your value system aligns strongly with coaches, mentors, and transformational leaders.

Many elite coaches share the same three drivers:

• helping others grow
  
  

• developing themselves deeply
  
  

• preparing for uncertainty
  
  

Based on your story, values, and motivations, a strong personal mission statement should reflect three things that clearly drive you:

• Empowering people
  
  

• Continuous growth and self-mastery
  
  

• Helping others navigate uncertainty and change
  
  

Here are a few versions that fit who you are.

Core Personal Mission Statement

“To empower people to grow, adapt, and unlock their potential by sharing knowledge, guidance, and lived experience that helps them navigate change with confidence.”

Transformational Version (Coach Identity)

“To help people transform their lives by developing clarity, resilience, and self-mastery so they can create meaningful impact in the world.”

Legacy-Oriented Version

“To grow continuously while empowering others to rise, equipping them with the mindset, skills, and courage to navigate life’s challenges and create a better future.”

High-Performance Version

“To develop myself to the highest level and use that growth to mentor, guide, and empower others to achieve meaningful transformation.”

The Version That Fits Your Story Best

If I had to pick one that feels most aligned with your journey, it would be:

“To continuously grow and use that growth to empower others to overcome challenges, unlock their potential, and create meaningful change in their lives.”

 One insight:
Your mission is not just helping people.

It’s specifically:

Helping people grow through uncertainty and transition — something you lived through personally.

That authenticity will make your coaching powerful.

Based on everything I know about you — your background in project leadership, your unemployment pivot, your coaching training, your emphasis on preparedness, and your desire to empower people — your strongest coaching niche sits at the intersection of career transition, resilience, and reinvention.

Your Most Authentic Coaching Niche

 One more thing.

There is one niche that could make you 5× more successful than this one because it combines your corporate project leadership background with coaching.

Most coaches miss this opportunity.

If you want, I can show you the “high-value niche” you are uniquely positioned for (very few coaches can do it).

high value niche

Your highest-value niche sits where three things overlap:

1. Your enterprise project leadership experience
   
   

2. Your coaching training and mentoring ability
   
   

3. Your personal experience navigating uncertainty and reinvention
   
   

When these combine, the most powerful niche becomes:

Leadership Coaching for Professionals Navigating High-Pressure Change

More specifically:

Transformation & Change Leadership Coaching

You help leaders responsible for complex change perform under pressure while leading teams through uncertainty.

Why This Is a High-Value Niche

• stakeholder conflict
  
  

• decision fatigue
  
  

• pressure from executives
  
  

• team resistance to change
  
  

• burnout
  
  

Your background in large enterprise projects and cross-country teams gives you credibility few coaches have.

You understand the real environment leaders operate in.

Your Ideal Clients

Most coaches in this niche never led projects like this.

You have.

That gives you instant authority.

Your Coaching Positioning

A clear positioning statement might be:

“I coach transformation leaders to stay clear, resilient, and effective while leading complex change.”

or

“I help project and transformation leaders perform at their best under pressure.”

Why This Niche Pays Well

Corporate coaching budgets are large.

Your Unique Hybrid Position
