LYNDA HODGES [CORPORATE]

YOUR NAME: Lynda Hodges

YOUR TITLE: Coaching Consultant

YOUR ORGANIZATION: BE 4 Lyfe Transitions

Understanding your communication patterns, and motivations, and identifying + responding to
your patterns of psychological distress (based upon your unique personality structure) are core
elements of the "Key to Me" inventory report. What did you learn most about yourself via your
report and/or our debrief together?
I learned that my strengths in the Thinker phase proved why I was so overly stressed for so many years.
I didn't believe anyone could get it done right and took on most of the responsibility to get it
done...whatever IT was. I never took time for myself and never took vacations--not recognizing the
importance of either. To me, work was the most important thing.
Now I recognize that I need to develop a good action plan to experience life and not be so stuck in
working through life.

What did you become more aware of as a human after diving into your "Key to Me" profile and
how has this helped you grow personally and professionally?
That I truly had become a workhorse and never gave myself the ability to enjoy life. It wasn't a matter of
not feeling worthy or that I didn't deserve it...my issue was being driven to just work. As far as work
was concerned, I didn't consider my work an opportunity for career growth. I just performed the job I
was given. I did the same thing in relationships--I accepted whatever guy offered me attention. I didn't
think about the kind of relationship I wanted, nor did I look for anyone in particular. I just accepted
what/who came in my path.
Both have now changed. I am working to start my coaching business, recognizing that entrepreneurship
is what I desire most.

In your opinion, what are some of the benefits an individual may experience when deciding to
say "yes" to the PCM process?
The PCM process will give an individual a full understanding of processes such as perceptual frames of
reference, psychological needs, and personality phases. For me, it helped me envision the issues that
happened to me in the past, so now I can take the time to make changes and improve my plan of action to increase the joy in my life.
I can tell that during this time in my life of transition, I have struggled with making necessary changes
because of my fear of experiencing some of the failures in the past that have caused me extreme
disappointment. I thought I was pushed by fear of failure--I recognize now that I don't have a fear, but
that my Thinker phase has basically been given the opportunity to develop my own forms of work! Now
that I see it this way, fear no longer takes precedence. My control Type-A can now take it's place up front!
