What is inside of you? – IPSAT Invitation

by | Jan 20, 2019 | Coaching, IPSAT

Do you know how to discover, optimize, and unleash the resources inside of you?

The Identity Profile Self-Awareness Tool (IPSAT) is a guided discovery and coaching experience designed to help you understand the resources in you that set you apart – the unique combination of your personality, strengths, skills, spiritual gifts, and passions.  Learn what you do best, where you have gaps, and how to communicate this information with others.

As a certified IPSAT coach and IPSAT Independent Contractor, I am prepared to coach and bring value to you.

My IPSAT coaching commitment to you
  • My highest priority: confidentiality & providing value to you.
  • I will share helpful tips/tools for maximizing your IPSAT experience.
  • I will provide one IPSAT coaching session (via phone) when you complete the assessment.
  • Many previous IPSAT clients have requested additional coaching sessions – which I offer.

Who are you? How are you living purposely – a life that matters? What are you capable of when you are in your sweet-spot? What has a potential to derail you?  Engage in the IPSAT here >>

 

IPSAT Next: Crafting Your Identity Overview Statement

by | Jan 12, 2019 | IPSAT

Woohoo! Congrats on completing the IPSAT assessment and coaching session!

Now What? Update Your Identity Overview Statement

The IPSAT and coaching session gave much airtime to your Identity Overview Statement. An excellent next action for you is to update your statement. But first, some inspiration from a participant’s Identity Overview Statement. Their first draft:

I care about helping people, if they want to be helped. I love learning new and interesting things. And I don’t like seeing people fail.

After coaching and updating:

I am a no nonsense, tell it like it is traditionalist, who stands for what is right. Going out of my way to help someone is not uncommon. I’m the peacemaker when needed, also can be the enforcer. Being a strategic thinker I can formulate a plan, put it in place fully aware of multiple possible outcomes and respond analytically. As an over-achiever I’ll challenge myself to be the best father, husband, and son. And I also believe in leading by example in everything I do.

We recommend viewing this webinar “Craft Your Identity Statement” (click to open)

Here are the highlights (from this webinar by Steve Moore, President of nexleader/IPSAT):

  • Start with your identity – then work on your statement (You need to understand your identity first, before “word-smithing”)
    • Personality/MBTI – What descriptors do you identify with the most?
    • Strengths – “I love learning and sharing what I learned with others” (learning strength example)
    • Skills –
    • Spiritual Gifts – Start by seeking to understand correct Biblical meaning
    • Passions – “I am passionate about…”
  • Make every word count (100 words in all)
    • Begin with “I am”
    • Ruthlessly get rid of filler words
  • Front load your statement – Prioritize first 20-25 words
    • 25 words are what you can comfortable saying in a normal conversation
    • Consider putting passions toward end
  • Focus on the balcony – not on the basement
    • Balcony-side: Reflection of my very best self
    • Basement-side: How my identity could derail me
