Character Strengths Coaching

"Why Don't You / Yes, But" — Life Games and ICONS

This coaching session provides a framework for understanding how to identify life games and which ones you are in. As well as exploring their hidden meanings and how they are used. Coaching sessions will focus on how we communicate and relate to others, as well as how to navigate manipulative social situations.

You will complete a personal VIA Character Strength Assessment (Survey/Profile), which will help you recognize and assess your own negotiating style and how your style can positively or negatively influence family, friends, and co-workers. You will acquire an understanding of the relationship character strengths play with improving interpersonal communications and in motivating yourself and others to succeed/perform.

Objectives:
  • Understand the framework of Identifying Communications of Negotiating Strategies (ICONS) as an interpersonal relationship tool/model
  • Learn your Top 5 Character Strengths that ICONS may be demonstrated through and learn how to apply these character strengths
  • Increase awareness and learn how to identify character strengths in others
  • Explore ways to activate character strengths in oneself and others across all levels of your life journey

“When you say ‘Yes’ to others, make sure you are not saying ‘No’ to yourself, and that you are not being caught up in a game for someone else’s benefit.”
