There is a simple formula that will help you discover your life coaching client’s life purpose within a single session.  You can use it on yourself.  These three easy steps will make you look like a wizard, and your coaching clients will get results like never before once they are clear on where they want to go.   First, have your life coaching clients’ think of three separate times in their life when they felt really fulfilled or in the flow about what they were doing.  Have them share the first three things that come to mind.  Usually these are the most compelling clues. These incidents may be very different or very similar, and it doesn’t really matter.  What matters is what you do next.

Drill Down and Do Some Serious Detective Work

Once you have the answers to the first step, ask your clients what about those events really got them excited.  Find out what it was about them that worked in that incident.  What did they bring to the table?  Clarify the meaning of their answers.  Don’t leave any stones unturned.  If they say an incident made them feel ‘powerful’, find out what powerful means to them.  Was it that they organized the event or was it that they energized the people at the event to accomplish something?  Work with your life coaching clients on getting to the bottom line around each question.  Eliminate what doesn’t matter from what does.  Isolate things that your client likes and is good at doing.

Other possible questions to ask your client include:  What did you want to be when you were a child and why?  What are you constantly drawn to?  What are you most passionate about?  What do you desire most in life?  Describe your perfect day.  Who do you want to become in life?

Use Your Life Coaching Skills to Find the Common Denominator

Tie the core patterns behind the incidents, desires, and drives together.  Look for the common denominator.  The thread you’re looking for is who your client is being in each answer, how they are showing up, what qualities that they are expressing.  Look for how your client is the same person in all the incidents.  This will help your life coaching clients decide who they want to become.
