How Professionals use The Balancing Act

For professionals working with individuals

The Balancing Act helps clients define their own Elements of Success - and then use all of them to integrate and align their daily behavior. When all five vital parts of a living system come into balance, a state of synergy results where the whole becomes larger than the sum of the parts. That is, things get easier rather than harder. Obviously, this is good for life, love, or business. Personal/life coaches use The Balancing Act to help their clients rethink, redesign and integrate their lives from the inside out. Career coaches use The Balancing Act to help clients craft a comprehensive plan focused on The 5 Elements of Success to leverage their identity, dreams and gifts into a successful career transition. Counselors for individual, couples and families use The Balancing Act - and the instruments contained in it - to help their clients better understand their own inner lives and why other people act differently than they do. With these fresh new perspectives, their clients can determine ways they might interact more effectively with others.

For professionals working with organizations

The Balancing Act helps business professionals move their organizations to new levels of success. Far too often, barriers to improved performance are stubborn, invisible forces that erode the good work being done. Managers turn to The 5 Elements of Success for practical, action-focused steps to ensure that all the components of the business are aligned so they will function efficiently and with integrity. Executive coaches find that the instruments and clear paradigms contained in this book can be used gently - and in a non-pejorative way - to improve the leadership capabilities of their busy clients. Internal and external OD consultants use The Balancing Act to craft highly integrated strategic plans, build strongly aligned work groups, and identify the root causes of (and cures for) performance problems. Human resource professionals like this work because their internal clients find it easy and enjoyable - and an effective tool for enhancing consensus in the workplace.

Working from Your Core: Personal and Corporate Wisdom in a World of Change This book describes The 10 Core Types - a board of "heroic" advisors that live inside each one of us. These internal guides can be of great assistance in developing The 5 Elements of Success. This is because each one of The 10 Core Types adds their own special color to each of the five elements. For example, each Core Type has: its own unique identity and set of values, its distinct beliefs about how the world works, a special mission that propels it into action, its particular way of interacting and communicating with others, and, distinctly different habits and ways of structuring its life and work. And, not only do The 10 Core Types have a significant impact on our personal and work lives - they also can help us understand and improve our workplace cultures. When The Balancing Act and Working from Your Core are used together, we can significantly augment the effect of each set of tools, and in this way increase our mastery in our lives, relationships, and work.
