Impact of labelling on Identity 
 Labelling is a necessary evil: important to make sense of the world around us, but a primary enabler of stereotyping. Labelling theory states that people act in ways that correspond with how they are labelled by their peers/ others. More often than not, the words we use to describe what we see are not mere labels, but end up determining what we see.
The primary goals of this research are to 
1). Collect data about the positive and negative impact of positive and negative labelling at a young age on the self perception and self esteem 
2). Exploring impact of labelling based on feelings and subsequent impact on thinking patterns 
3). Through the data study, identify ways a coach could help identify the presence / impact of labelling in their clients
