A Coaching Model Created by Ann Parnes
(Life Coach, UNITED STATES)
I believe the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in that religion or this religion, we are all seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness…― Dalai Lama XIV, The Art of Happiness in a Troubled World
Each person has an individual notion of what happiness means to him. Oftentimes we encounter clients who have a vague idea that something is missing or that they could be happier, but don’t exactly know which way to go.
This model is intended to for working with those clients who do not come with a specific agenda. The overall purpose of the model is to build maximum awareness of a client’s values and priorities in order to establish clear goals and a plan utilizing the client’s strengths to get there. Ultimately, the better our clients understand themselves and their priorities, and the more in line they are able to live with those values, the happier they will be.
