“Find out who you are and do it on purpose”

It reflects a lot of important coaching themes – and the things that happen within coaching.  Finding out who you are.  What’s important to you.  The values that drive you forward.  The actions, the choices that reflect those values and beliefs.  That make up and tell your story.

And once you are in that powerful state of knowing who you are, what really matters to you – well then you can get on with going out there and doing it on purpose.

So who was this philosopher who summed it up so wisely?  None other than Dolly Parton, a woman who is proud to define herself, to tell her own story.  Which means she should really get the last word…

“I’m not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes.

I know that I’m not dumb, and I also know that I’m not blonde”
