Managing with Aloha Coaching

Value your Month, Value your Life Learn to put Managing with Aloha in practice in our value of the month program: Live, Work, Manage and Lead with Aloha!


Where is this “wellspring?” Your Ho‘ohana and your Sense of PlaceOctober 7

ALOHA ~ ~ ~

Rosa2005Have you newly arrived here at Managing with Aloha Coaching? Thank you for clicking in!

Each month, we adopt a Hawaiian value to study together in a universal way, thus the tagline you see up top: Value Your Month, Value Your Life.

I publish a new coaching essay here every Tuesday. They are essays, longer than most blog posts, and though you can read them through once in less than a Daily 5 Minutes, they are intended to give you a full week’s worth of Ho‘ohana-inspired self-coaching.

This month we are learning about Nānā i ke kumu: Look to your Source, Find your Truth.
Begin here: Day One Essay for a quick introduction. We’ll wait!

Welcome!

Our Value Study: Nānā i ke kumu. This is 1st Tuesday.

Last Tuesday, we defined Nānā i ke kumu through its’ literal root words, Nānā and Kumu.

Nānā i ke kumu: Look to your Source, Find your TruthOctober 1

Ah, I so, so love this value!

I’ll let you in on a not-so-secret confidence: I will often decide upon our value of the month based on my own needs at any given time as well. I want to work on it with you, just as we have done over the past few weeks with Ho‘ohana. I want to empathize with you, yes, however I also love the thrill of collaborative work itself, and with getting things done, and I believe that the best way to do so is with the power of value-aligned work.

I’m not totally selfish, for armed with the world view that I strive to keep close by my side, aware of the pulse of the day, I do look for needs that I suspect we may share, and those kinds of feelings are pretty pervasive currently (the special edition to my newsletter yesterday, and your reactions to it were telling).

Third, I will look for connections to the values that we have most recently learned about, and Nānā i ke kumu connects magnificently with both Ho‘ohana (September) and Alaka‘i (Augus

Finalizing your Ho‘ohana Statement into Workable FormSeptember 30

Let’s quickly review what we have accomplished this month:

  1. We learned about Ho‘ohana as the value of intentional work. (Day 1 Essay)
  2. We answered the question, Why Bother? (Tues. Coaching Essay 1)
  3. We equipped ourselves with a new Language of Intention aimed at increasing our learning retention with Ho‘ohana, thereby helping us apply this value to our lives immediately, and with optimal usefulness and relevance. Key within our Language of Intention were new definitions for ‘work’ and for ‘job.’ (Tues. Coaching Essay 2)
  4. You have defined your predominant values, so you will always have them top of mind as your ethical-for-me filters with whatever work you aim to accomplish. (Tues. Coaching Essay 3)
  5. Last week, we applied your newly designed value-align

Welcome back!

Did you complete last Tuesday’s exercise?

If not, or if you are newly joining us, I encourage you to start there, and then come back for this next part. This entire program is self-paced, and this article will be up for a week before the next one. Go to: Writing a Ho‘ohana Draft part 1: Your Intention and Your Personal Values.

If so, terrific! Let’s move on. We’re going to tackle your Ho‘ohana draft part 2 with the very specific strategy to have you enjoy the value alignment we are designing for you.

This is what we have accomplished with last Tuesday’s Coaching:

You have defined your predominant values, so you will always have them top of mind as your ethical-for-me filters. When you have a Language of Intention with how you articulate your values, you “walk your talk” and your personal belief system very naturally matches up to your talk. (You have value-alignment.)

Now what shall you apply this newly designed value-alignment to?

We will start with two areas that likely affect you pervasively; if you invest in these exercises and work on them you can achieve

Writing a Ho‘ohana Draft part 1: Your Intention and Your Personal ValuesSeptember 16

Welcome back!

Thank you for checking in with me, and with our for our MWA Tuesday Coaching. This is what we have done so far:

  1. Day One Essay: Ho‘ohana: Redefine the word “work” and make it yours.
  2. Tuesday Coaching/ Week #1: Why Bother with Ho‘ohana, and “Worthwhile Work” at all?
  3. Tuesday Coaching/ Week #2: Our Ho‘ohana Language of Intention: Are we talking about the same thing?
  4. Mid-month Recap (on Talking Story): Day 15: Value your Month, Value your Life with Ho‘ohana.

Completing our Ho‘ohana Language of Intention

Last time we worked on our Language of Intention with work, job (and jobs), Aloha, and Ho‘ohana.

There is one more definition we should talk about, a word I have used quite a bit up to now: INTENTION. Intention is powerful stuff; and thus intention is a great thing to learn to harness and use.

Your intention moves you in certain directions; it propels you toward action in a very empowering way, because it originates within your wants, needs, and burning desires. Your intention, whether
