In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Akeisha Johnson discuss:
- Releasing the people and things that need to be released in your life.
- Knowing when to charge for the amateur hobby that is getting in the way of your career.
- Why you should have a coach (and how to identify the right coach for you).
- Setting performance metrics and evaluating them regularly.
Key Takeaways:
- Cancel culture does not work, but you can give people a safe space to facilitate change with the real problems in the world.
- A life coach is different from a sales coach. All coaches are different and have specialties.
- Coaching is for everyone. It is not just for people who have more means or a bigger title or any other. Don’t eliminate opportunities for yourself based on incorrect perceptions.
- The more accountability you have, the more likely you will be to follow through - coaching is a great way to hold yourself accountable.
"Those metrics that you're talking about is the difference between you actually steering the wheel and the wind blowing your boat." — Akeisha Johnson
