When Tony Hsieh, CEO who took Zappos (an online shoe business) from a 1.6 million dollar business to a 1 billion dollar business in nine years, people wanted to know how he did it. The answer he came to over many years is that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/2010\/09\/16\/employees-motivation-business-forbes-woman-leadership-communication.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">employees<\/span><\/a> want to know that their efforts are meaningful. A recent study by CBS MoneyWatch shows that when people are asked what motivates them at work, 29% said that the most motivating thing is knowing that what they do is meaningful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Examples of Questions:<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">What about your work is interesting?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">What is important?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">What aligns with who you are?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">What part of your day brings a smile?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">What does your work mean to you?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">How do you bring your values to work?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">What gives meaning to people? The answer is connected to values. One fabulous tool available to a coach is a client\u2019s values. There are several ways to learn about these gems. One way is to ask about values. Another is through active listening. A trained coach will hear what matters most through conversations, and ask more about them. Brainstorming is another avenue to pursue with a client. This is an excellent way to increase focus about what matters personally to a client. It may even bring a broader definition of what values are in personal terms. Gaining a firm vision of values empowers better understanding around decision making, time management, and goals. Realizing and reconnecting personal values gives meaning to a client\u2019s work, which generates energy for daily action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">The research shows that finding meaning when it comes to work motivates people. As a coach that means supporting a client to find meaning in their goals which supports their success.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">* Originally posted on <span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--accent\">#CenterforCoachingCertification<\/span> by <span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--accent\">#CathyLiska<\/span><span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--black\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">In business, it&#8217;s about the bottom line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":104,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[50,47,46,49,48,51],"class_list":["post-103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-coaching","tag-coach-123","tag-coaching","tag-coaching-services","tag-coaching-success","tag-coaching-tips","tag-executive-coaching"],"aioseo_notices":[],"views":1029,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coach-123.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coach-123.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coach-123.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coach-123.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coach-123.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.coach-123.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7368,"href":"https:\/\/www.coach-123.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103\/revisions\/7368"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coach-123.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coach-123.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coach-123.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coach-123.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
