Deep dives
Coaching is a leadership tool rooted in our DNA
Coaching is not a title, but a tool. It is a form of leadership that encompasses mentoring, advising, challenging, nurturing, and more. The mistake many coaches make is thinking that coaching is solely about the title. The essence of coaching lies in helping individuals see possibilities beyond their current perspective and supporting them in achieving their goals.
Coaching is about mindset and helping people see the unseen
Coaching is not limited to business coaching. It can be described as mindset coaching, enabling individuals to see the world through a different lens. Whether it's working with CEOs, Olympic athletes, or military veterans, the goal is to enhance their perspective and enable them to see what they cannot see on their own. A skilled coach can provide insights and provoke fresh thinking.
The future of coaching lies in its expanding reach and value
Coaching is becoming increasingly ubiquitous and is being recognized as an essential part of leadership. It is predicted that coaching will be a common component of organizational structures, just like having a CEO or a senior manager. As coaching continues to evolve, it presents an opportunity for high-performance coaches to work with clients who are willing to invest deeply in themselves and their goals.
Identifying and Pursuing What You Want
One key insight discussed in the podcast is the importance of knowing what you truly want. The speaker emphasizes that most people struggle with identifying their desires because they have rarely been asked what they want in their education or life. To address this, an exercise is suggested where individuals create a list of 100 things they want. This exercise helps to uncover deeper desires beyond the surface level, encouraging individuals to tap into their wildest aspirations. The lesson is that it is okay to want things that may seem outrageous or unconventional, and that owning these desires is crucial for personal growth and fulfillment.
The Role of Struggle and Longevity in Success
Another important idea explored in the podcast is the relationship between struggle and success. It is noted that many individuals shy away from struggle and are not willing to put in the necessary work to achieve their goals. The speaker gives examples such as wanting a fit partner but not being willing to put in the effort to exercise or desiring to write a book but not being prepared to navigate the challenges of publishing and marketing. The message is that true success often requires embracing the struggle, being willing to do what is necessary, and committing to the long-term journey. Additionally, it is highlighted that success is a multifaceted concept and should be defined by each individual in terms of their own personal, financial, social, emotional, and spiritual aspirations.
