Do You Take a Coach Approach?

Last week I shared my husband’s frustration with me that I never read directions or play around to figure out how something works. Apparently, as a child, he picked up the habit of being meticulous in learning things and figuring things out. His mother told me he used to take apart small appliances and put them back together. There were always some extra pieces at the end, yet typically, the machine still worked!

For me, I need collaboration, group learning, and interaction to engage my brain. I think that is why I am such a fan of coaching.?I personally have had a buddy coach for nearly a decade. Coaching gives me the sounding board, the reflection time, the ideas, the feedback, and more.

The best?conversations start with a coaching mindset. That’s why I have participated in the WBECS coaching program for years, both as a speaker and as a participant.?If you?are ready to transform into a top-notch leader and coach,?then this program is?for you. Join me for the?WBECS Summit 12th Annual World Business and Executive Coach Summit.?

Why? Because you'll be able to listen to the best in their industry when it comes to leadership. From there, you can take their knowledge and integrate it into your own practices.?Whether you are a leader developing a team or individual seeking self-improvement, coaching is an invaluable skill. Taking a coach approach to a conversation will shift the dynamics and outcomes of any interaction.

You don't even have to be a?people?manager.?Learning how to have a coaching conversation will help you?grow your leadership skills but also simply be a better colleague, friend, sibling, or partner. Think about all the areas in your life where?a?coach?approach?could make a huge impact.

There is a FREE pre-summit as well.?Will you take the opportunity to?learn a different way to have a conversation? You can register?here.?I hope to see you there!?

If you're considering a change, be that career or otherwise, check out this article I wrote on a few ideas!

Week 22:?The Seeing Eye

My grandmother used to be a buyer for Epstein's department store in Morristown NJ, a store that welcomed the seeing eye puppies to do their training. I was excited to be the class parent on my son's 3rd-grade field trip to this great organization. I have always had a warm spot for this local and global organization that?enhances the independence, dignity, and self-confidence of blind people through the use of Seeing Eye??dogs.
