What if we looked at our life in full chapters instead of by age or decade? How might that shift how we see our current chapter or ready us for our next?
In this episode I discuss a model that's near and dear to my heart, created by the Hudson Institute of Coaching, and it's called The Cycle of Renewal. Understanding that this cycle is a full life chapter and it's made up of 4 different phases. We can toggle between Phase 1 and 2 for many years before dropping into Phase 3-4. Sometimes we may only complete this cycle once in a lifetime, for others, twice. This is a wonderful episode to listen and tune inward to identify where you are on the cycle and in your life / career overall.
Episode topics:
- Hudson Institute Cycle of Renewal:
- Phase 1: Got For It / Fully Aligned [Heroic Self]
- Phase 2: The Duldrums / Out of Sync [Disenchanted Self]
- Phase 3: Cocooning / Re-purposing [Inner Self ]
- Phase 4: Getting Ready / Exploring [Passionate Self]
- How often do we move through these 4 cycles?
- A mini transition is moving from Phase 2 to 1; a transformation occurs when moving from Phase 3 to 4
- Phase 1 and 4 (left side of the cycle) are more "Doing" energy where Phase 2 and 3 (right side of the cycle) are more "Being" energy; learning to meet yourself where you are.
Coaching Prompts:
- Which Phase do you most relate to right now?
- Depending on which it is, are you comfortable staying here a while or is it time to consider some moves?
- What is one small step you can take to make progress where you or possibly guide you into the next phase?
