Practices that may help
- Values Bullseye, Made Practical
The values bullseye, developed by Tobias Lundgren within the ACT framework, is a visual exercise in which you rate how close your current behavior is to the bullseye in four life domains — work, relationships, personal growth, and leisure. It converts abstract values into a concrete gap-analysis, making it easier to choose one committed action that moves you toward the center. The exercise is part of the established ACT toolkit; direct evidence for the instrument is limited but the underlying ACT framework has substantial support. - Rewrite internal-focus coaching cues as external-focus equivalents
Audit your coaching language and convert body-focused instructions to effect-focused ones.
External Focus of Attention, Made Practical - Turn the chosen domain into a committed action
Convert the domain insight into a concrete, timed, values-linked behavior — not a vague intention.
Values Bullseye, Made Practical - Obstacle anticipation before close
Before ending, ask "what could get in the way?" and pre-plan the response.
The GROW Coaching Model, Made Practical - Review the bullseye weekly to track real movement
Re-mark each domain every week and compare — small outward or inward shifts are your feedback loop.
Values Bullseye, Made Practical - Rate your current position in each domain
Mark on each domain’s bullseye how closely your recent behavior has matched the value — honestly.
Values Bullseye, Made Practical - Use the bullseye to resolve competing values
When two values pull in different directions, the bullseye shows you which domain is most neglected and most in need of attention.
Values Bullseye, Made Practical - Map your values across the four life domains
Write one core value statement for each domain — work, relationships, personal growth, leisure — before touching the bullseye.
Values Bullseye, Made Practical - Raise awareness and build responsibility simultaneously
Help the person see their situation more clearly while also connecting them to their ownership of it.
The GROW Model: Coaching Conversations That Actually Move People - Generate Options before evaluating any
Brainstorm all possible paths before judging — then the coachee, not the coach, narrows them.

Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When I coach people, almost everything out of my mouth is about their body
- I’ve identified the area I want to change and now I’m just sitting on a vague intention like "be more present with my kids"
- The people I coach leave fired up with a plan, but the first ordinary snag throws them and the whole thing quietly dies
- Working on my values feels like an endless aspiration with no scoreboard
- I keep telling myself I’m basically living in line with what I care about, but if I’m brutally honest about my actual behavior the last couple of weeks, I suspect I’m way further from the center than I let myself admit
