Over the years, I’ve made it a habit to write down personal key

learnings that I’ve either experienced or realized about myself.

Personal key learnings are our own “ah ha’s” that we witness

about ourselves.

Such learnings capture the attributes, habits, traits, etc. that

lend themselves to the fulfilling ways in which we prefer to

live and move through life. Personal key learnings are the

unique things we notice about ourselves that are worth noting

and remembering. Often I’ve found that my personal key

learnings mirror the ways that I honor my values.

Here are a few examples:

1. When I’m passionate about something, it easily

comes through in my tone of voice.

2. I feel the energy and vigor of my early twenty’s when

I eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and whole

grains.

3. Honoring my value of “making the most of every

moment” keeps me from feelings of frustration and

stress.

4. Prayer works in miraculous ways!

So how do I use this concept of key learnings? Professionally,

I use it in many ways to support the personal growth and self

awareness of my coaching clients. Personally, I use my key

learnings journal in many productive and reflective ways

including:

1. to note and remind myself of what is unique and

important to remember about me;

2. to focus the planning of my days, weeks, months, and

year;

3. to find answers when I’m feeling stuck, lost, or

frustrated;

Personal Key Learnings

4. to help me live a fulfilling life;

5. to move me toward being the coach, mother, wife,

daughter, sister, and friend that I want to be.

In essence, my key learnings are all about who I am and the

things that are most important for me to remember as I go

through my life experiences.

Coaching Inquiries: Reflect for a moment on the last few

weeks of your life. What important information did you learn

about yourself that is worth noting? What did you learn about

yourself during a recent difficult situation? What is important

and unique about you? What are some of your own personal

key learnings that are worth noting? How can you use and

benefit from this concept of key learnings?
