Coachability

In today’s world the ability to be your own boss – to set up a company, banking, all the infrastructure – has never been easier.

When my children ask what I think they should do I will always reply: “Be an entrepreneur. Do what it takes to be captain of your own ship in whatever field you choose.”

?

Success in that will come down to their coachability – their ability to receive and convert impartial, well-meaning advice from others, formally or informally.

?

The ability to be coached is a skill to be learned like others but it is too often overlooked. I think it is essential that younger generations embrace this fully.

?

To get ahead you will need to be coachable. All the success you see and admire has this as its foundation.

?

You don’t often see what happens to those that never made themselves coachable, but I am sure it’s a story of unfulfilled potential (it very nearly was for me).

Go look for a coach / mentor / tutor now, don’t delay.
