I write about the stuff that actually gets in the way of leading well — the blind spots, the habits, and the systems you built that now run you instead of the other way round.
No theory. Just what I’ve seen work with the CEOs and founders I coach.
On achieving the extraordinary
They used to freak me out too cos I had this idea that I needed to know the steps to get there even if they didn’t.
Now I look forward to hearing what they say because it’s just so blood inspiring to watch.
But the myth that comes with the idea of achieving the dream is that we have to do something radical, that’s what stops them including it too.
Failing Backwards
When we extract the lessons the memory shrinks and at the same time we become more whole in the present and better equipped to succeed at the same challenge.
Often my clients will produce exact steps of how to go about failing at the very challenge they have come to me for help with. With that comes the confident of success in the present.
Thought that might be a cool thing to know. I have found it seriously useful and often I’ll notice that I’m noticeably more relaxed from day to day.
Warning: do not hire a coach until you read this
How much do you charge? It’s the instinctive first question, it’s also the least informative. Coach is their label, what they are to you is a problem solver or rather a solved problem(s) is the side effect you’re looking for.
Your job when selecting a coach of any sort is to ascertain if they can facilitate that.
