Please complete the Domains Profiler tool and follow the script in the tool.

NB: KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES AND ALWAYS BE AWARE OF REFERRAL OPPORTUNITIES WHERE NECESSARY TO PSYCHOLOGISTS, DOCTORS ETC.

Explaining domains:

• The domains profile is a tool that explores 12 of the most common areas in our lives and it allows a client to identify what’s important and how satisfied they are with each.
• People who thrive in life are highly satisfied in the domains that are highly important to them.
• In the context of your training with North, we are focussing on the work domain - whether that’s as an athlete, artist, entrepreneur, or executive.
• But sometimes it’s other domains that influence our ability to thrive.
• Virtually all clients will have gaps in other domains - it’s not about solving these gaps, it’s about helping them identify them so they can take action to remedy this (eg it’s not your job to help them with their personal fitness program or their low satisfaction in their marriage). In fact, this is where it can be really helpful to encourage them to see a psychologist, doctor, personal trainer or other professional if needed. It is really important not to cross these boundaries.
• This program is not training you up to be a life coach or a pseudo psychologist. You are helping people perform better and thrive in their work. Along the way they might start making better decisions for themselves in other domains too.
• Finally, a domains profile is merely a snapshot in time. So it’s important to encourage them to use this as an ongoing self-reflective tool to track changes over time.
