Today is a very special day, as we're also able to promote our Wisdom at Work workshop in Sydney on the 26th of June, 2008. Read more about it here .
So, it seemed only appropriate for today's blog to include some coaching exercises around wisdom. To help you to get started, one of the more simple models to explain wisdom is that it is the combination of intelligence, experience and creativity and the outcomes are bigger than simply attending to our own personal needs, but expands to consider the needs of the group or all people.
Coaching Exercises
1. There are many ways of defining wisdom. What does it mean to you?
2. Wisdom is often linked with leadership. How wise of a leader do you feel you are? Consider that you lead others AND you also lead yourself.
3. Who do you consider to be wise? Could it be certain politicians, a grandparent, friend or someone from history? What contributed to their wisdom? How did they develop into the person you see them as? What can you learn from this for your own life and wisdom development?
4. What do you need more of to become more wise? What do you need less of? Some "wise people" might say that we all need to raise our awareness more, read more, be more cultural, more political and more involved; and be less selfish, less caught up as victims and less agressive. What do you think? There is no right or wrong answer - no right "wise" answer. Just explore.
As always, if you need any further personal support in response to any of these coaching exercies, please consider using the askacoach.com service.
All the best,
