Purpose Statements for your coaching work

The metaFox 'My Purpose' cards by Dr. Martina Nohl help to circle the "why" and "what for" in a person's life. But even if you don't have the card set (yet), you can use the concept!

Purpose Statement: A guiding principle for life

Purpose Statement: A guiding principle for life

Purpose is a multi-layered term that can be described as "purpose", "goal", "determination", "intention", "task", "effect", "determination". People in midlife as well as more and more young people experiencing a quarter-life crisis are searching for their personal meaning of life. But how concretely and how abstractly can this be grasped? The frequently held "vocation discussion" does not provide a satisfactory answer here, because it usually focuses on a concrete professional orientation as a "permanent solution". The concrete idea of vocation (e.g. "I work with children from precarious backgrounds") neither provides an answer beyond later job changes, nor to the transfer of meaning into private life.

The inner genius as the North Star

A meaningful life guiding motif that can serve as an inner compass must therefore be formulated in such a way that it allows us to adjust the concrete life plan every few years. We all want this life plan to become more and more what we perceive as our authentic self. This self is stable, yet evolves with our life experiences. Such a "common thread" can be formulated in the construct of the inner "genius." This formulation can then be used as a guide in a wide variety of activities and contexts.

The metaFox 'My Purpose' cards by Dr. Martina Nohl combine the two-word phrase Genii according to Dick Richards with the three paths to meaning according to Viktor Frankl. On the 60 coaching cards you will find short Genius statements and matching pictures. The goal of the work with the cards is on the one hand the formulation of the individual, cross-life meaning, on the other hand also the recognition of a situational meaning in everyday life.

What users say

I use the 'My Purpose' cards as part of my online coaching sessions focussing on professional reorientation. We use them to work out the client's WHY in order to incorporate this into their professional reorientation.

In contrast to the storytelling method that I have used in the past, the cards help you to reach your goal more quickly and playfully. I have the impression that both I as a coach and my clients find it easier to find and formulate the why or the essence. The combination of language with images is suitable for very different personality types. I have already achieved very good results with the cards.

The cards are accompanied by a small booklet with instructions on how to use the cards. I would have liked a more detailed description of how to work with the cards.

Overall, I can highly recommend the cards and will be happy to use them for further coaching sessions.
