Life Coaching and your PAC

A Sample Personal Action Certificate

I created my Personal Action Certificate in November of 2001. And to this day, still live by it.  I wrote this because I wanted to be the architect of my own life and then live accordingly.
It has become fully ingrained and implemented into my life, yet it continues to live and breathe as I do.  I'm sharing it with you so you can perhaps see one benefit of participating in a life coaching partnership with me.  I'd be happy to guide your through this process.

Benefits of YOUR Personal Action Certificate:

In addition to your friends, family, it can remind you of why you are here on earth.  You will have your Personal Action Certificate to hold and refer to.
·  It focuses you
· It provides you hope and clarity
· It becomes your moral compass through the “stuff”
                        · If you have any type of decision to make in life
                                · You feel lost or frustrated
                                · You don’t quite know what to do
                                · You are faced with something really unsettling
                                · Any limiting self-talk wants to run the show

 



PERSONALLY…
Robin, do not discount today because yesterday it held such promise as tomorrow!!
As I go through life, and absolutely each moment in it, I must recognize that how I live also impacts me.  I will do all things because and as if I care and care deeply.  I expect to constantly question and challenge who I am by continually learning and loving life and strengthening my mind, body, soul and characterJust because it looks difficult is absolutely no reason to shy away.
I live a stress-free, balanced life
exercise with regularity,
feel, be and act responsibility,
be honest with myself and others,
smile, and be realistically, optimistic,
realize that I also learn through my mistakes
seek and recognize options (there are always options), and
focus on the solution only after demonstrating that I clearly understand the problem.

I value my many extremely important roles.
As Mother, raise a loving contributing member to society who I mature with as I watch grow.  I want to react to her as who she is now and toward maintaining an open and honest relationship.
As Daughter, recognize that my mother did the best with what she had.  To know that because I am me, this does not lessen who she is.
As Employee, think ahead and prepare for change because change is a fact of life.
As Friend, respect our differences, learn from them and remain open minded.
Recognize my fears embrace them, conquer them. There really are so very many ways to succeed (and fail) – Persona Victories
Live as if goals are dreams in action and dreams are goals in waiting.
You really can do this!

Making the PAC your PAC.


  • What are the areas of your life that work well and consider reinforcing those areas?
  • Are you willing to address personal or professional habits that limit your effectiveness?
  • What value would using aspirational language add to your PAC?
  • What words would inspire and motivate you?
  • Do you have a personal motto you might include?
I would life to talk to you in more detail about how you can create your own Personal Freedom. I have developed a mini-course, 3 Steps to Personal Freedom.  Please contact me at coachrobin@rightlysuccessful.com to learn more about the course and life coaching. Until then, I would love to read your comments!

3 Steps to Personal Freedom - Part 3


I’m dedicated to providing tools, ideas, and motivation for each of you who are interested in living a “Rightly Successful Life”. Put another way, it is crafting a life of your own design.  One way to do that is to write and live out your Personal Action Certificate. 

3 Steps to Personal Freedom
1.    Engage your Life
2.    Create your Life
3.    Live your Life

Step 3: Live your Life
A Personal Action Certificate (PAC) is your measurement against how YOU are living your life.  Remember, it’s personal, dynamic, achievable yet aspirational. Yours may also be inspirational, however you’ve written it, you are about to embark upon your journey to Personal Freedom.

You have written your Personal Action Certificate and now what?  The key word is in the middle, action.  Now it is time to bring your plan to life.  But just how do you do that.  There is good news here, that’s totally up to you!  Since it is personal, you decide how you will execute on your PAC.

Your journey to Personal Freedom 
·         Which area of your life will you start with, your family, friends, work, yourself? 
·         What ways will you share your document or the spirit of it with others?
·         What measures will you put into place to keep you on track to living your PAC Out?
·         How would you know you have Personal Freedom when it’s achieved?

Consider the impact implementing your PAC would have in your life.
·         How is living the life YOU created working for you?
·         What would your life be like if you lived this way every day?
·         What would your days be like if you absolutely loved life?

These are just some starter questions in your process.  I’d love to work with you to develop your own Personal Action Certificate, your ticket to Personal Freedom.  Next post, I’ll share my own Personal Action Certificate.

If you don’t want to wait until the next post, feel free to contact me at coachrobin@rightlysuccessful.com to learn more about crafting your own Personal Action Document. Until then, I would love to read your comments!

3 Steps to Personal Freedom Part 2


I’m dedicated to providing tools, ideas, and motivation for each of you who are interested in living a “Rightly Successful Life”. Put another way, it is crafting a life of your own design.  One way to do that is to write and live out your Personal Action Certificate. 
3 Steps to Personal Freedom
1.    Engage your Life
2.    Create your Life
3.    Live your Life

Step 2: Create your Life
A Personal Action Certificate is your measurement against how YOU are living your life.  First and foremost it is personal, only you can craft it.  It is dynamic, achievable yet aspirational. It is how you know you are living your Personal Freedom.

Use your assessment notes as a starting place. If you have no notes, it’s now time to start writing your thoughts out.  Open your mind.  Keep pushing through.  It may take several drafts for you to get what you want. Give yourself permission to create.  Again, don’t be concerned with the format; it could be phrases, full sentences or journaling.  But I strongly encourage you to write this out.

Include all aspects of your life. 
·         What are your overall objectives for your life? 
·         What are your values, who decided on them and do they still hold for you?
·         To what degree do you want to include religion or spirituality?
·         What are your beliefs, who decided them and do they still hold you?
·         Who is important in your life now? Do you want them to remain so?
·         How would you know you have Personal Freedom when it’s achieved?

Again consider where or who you want to be in your life?
·         What would living the life YOU created mean for you?
·         What would your life be like if you felt awesome about almost every interaction you had each day?
·         What would your days be like if you absolutely loved your job?

These are just some starter questions in your process.  If you want to explore how to punch your ticket to Personal Freedom, contact me.  Next post, we’ll talk about what to do with your Personal Action Certificate.

3 Steps to Personal Freedom


This blog is dedicated to providing tools, ideas, and motivation for each of you who are interested in living a “Rightly Successful Life”. Put another way, it’s about crafting a life of your own design.  Most people don’t wake up and say, “hmm today, I’m going to design my life”.  The majority of the world doesn’t even acknowledge that they really can do something, anything different today from what they did yesterday.  I encourage you to consider creating a life that works for YOU and stop living life by default. 

3 Steps to Personal Freedom
1.    Engage your Life
2.    Create your Life
3.    Live your Life

Step 1: Engage your Life
If you have a commute try turning off those sounds and tuning into your own inner voice.  They don’t have to be long periods of time, but at moments over several days, THINK about your life.  Dig deep.  Be honest with yourself.  Write your thoughts out.  Don’t worry about the format; it could be phrases, journaling. 

Start by taking assessment of where you are in life. 
·         Are you doing the work that’s meaningful to you? 
·         Are you in a relationship that “works for you?”
·         Think about what you did yesterday. What is your level of satisfaction with your life performance?
·         Think about your relationships with your partner, yourself, children, employer, employees, fellow workers and others in your life, are they functioning how you want them to?

Now consider where or who you want to be in your life?
·         Deeply, really, honestly, where do you want to be in life?  Are you there?
·         What would living the life YOU created mean to you?
·         What would your life be like if you felt awesome about the interactions you had that day?
·         What does your own Personal Freedom look like, feel like, who would you be?

These are just some starter questions in your process.  I’d love to talk through these and other questions with you and assist you in developing your own Personal Action Certificate, your ticket to Personal Freedom.  Next time, we’ll talk about writing your own Personal Action Certificate.
