One-on-One Coaching | Road to Revenue #85 Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

There is one aspect where the best coaches are united, and that is through consistency. A good coach is consistent in the time and interest they devote to their “team”, as well as their behavior, feedback, and the suggestions they give. These coaches don’t let their own issues impact their ability to lead, they can keep these issues separate from their role as a coach.

No matter what area of life you are working on improving, a coach is able to help you bring your best on a day-to-day basis. They can inspire you and motivate you as they help you progress towards your goals.

What Skills Make a Good Coach?

Just like there are myriad types of coaches, there are also a variety of skills that make them great. Some common skills of effective coaches include:

Taking their “leader as coach” role seriously - You can’t be a good coach if you’re don’t care enough to be a leader.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and self-awareness - Not only do great coaches understand what drives their team and are able to manage egos and emotions effectively, but they are also self-aware enough to admit mistakes and make adjustments to their plan.
Preparation - A good coach prepares for each coaching opportunity with specific examples or ideas to share and discuss.
Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of their employees or team - Thebest leaders maximize the strengths and can turn weaknesses into strengths by putting their team in the right positions.
Two-way communication - Not only are good coaches able to make expectations clear to those they work with, but they also listen to others and try to understand their points of view.
Optimistic and motivational perspective - A good coach can find the right amounts of encouragement and optimism to connect with their team when things are easy, and well as when they are hard.

The Power of Consistency Nov 03, 2021

Show notes

Consistency: meaning do it every day

Consistency is massively important because it allows you to focus on what you want.

Focusing on a goal and working toward it every day allows you to utilize the power of intention. That focus yields exponential growth and results.

You need to do something every day in order to be great at it. Meditate, use gratitude, practice a skill, work on a relationship, tell somebody that you love and appreciate them.

Each of those activities can take as little as 30 seconds a day, if you are efficient, and will make a resounding impact in your life.
