A Sibling Coaching Session 2/19/10

Finally had a chance to catch up with my brother John for his Strengths Coaching session. Realizing that he and I have three signature themes in common (Achiever, Learner and Responsibility), it was interesting to see the similarities we share.  He thought the Top 5 Signature Themes fit him fairly well. We chatted through the coaching discussion questions and specific situations in which he applied his strengths and got positive feedback about such. We talked a lot about frustrations especially those he is experiencing in his current job. It seems the next opportunity he is vying for at work would allow him to really apply his natural talents. So I'm pulling for him that this opportunity comes his way soon!

At the end of our session, I pulled out the flash cards that provide highlights of each signature theme. Based on our discussion, I quickly ran through the highlights of each theme and asked if it sounded like him. Given all the things we talked about, it felt like we hit the nail on the head for each of his Top 5. Both with the strengths as well as with the frustrations. Amazing!
