Are you living your identity — or performing someone else’s script? Dean DiNardi sits down with social psychologist and professional coach trainer Pauliina Hallama (World Coaching Organization) for a deep dive into identity, values, and authentic self-development.
Pauliina breaks down the layers hiding beneath our everyday behavior — results, actions, thoughts, beliefs, and finally values — and introduces the idea of your “goal identity”: not who you currently are, but who you’re consciously choosing to grow into. Dean connects it back to his own background in theater and character development, exploring how identity is built the same way an actor builds a role — through backstory, conditioning, and choice.
Topics covered: personal identity vs. professional identity, workplace safety psychology, systemic coaching, Jungian archetypes, values-based decision making, authenticity, midlife crisis and identity drift, coaching skills for everyday life, and how to consciously choose who you want to become.
