The Hardest Person You'll ever Lead is You
Whether you get inspired by the Marshallbot or a book, if you are like me, self-coaching is perhaps the most powerful accelerator of your personal development.
Whatever you are looking for: more impact at work, a promotion, pay raise or even clarity and actionable insights to become a better parent, spouse or human being, in my experience the positive impact of self-coaching has been extraordinary.
Equal to or perhaps even greater than the postive impact from the dozens of great coaches who have accompanied me over the years. I am grateful for each of you. Thank you for the great insights and nudging to step into countless thought and action experiments.
For me, the bottom line is that self-coaching works and is the best place to start. If you are privileged to already have a coach, combining coaching with self-coaching is like adding 1 + 1 and getting 10
A Warning
My Unity friend, author, recovering executive and leadership coach Kellie Garrett, PCC, ICD.D worked as a writer of advertising copy, so the first few donen pages of this book will "hook" you. I could not put this book down.
If you are a successful leader looking for a gentle nudge to step into an even better version of yourself or if negative self-talk has ever danced in that grey matter between your ears, get this book!
PS Germans have a wonderful name for this grey matter between your ears, "Gehirnschmalz"

5 个月Can't wait to read it, Bill! I've always found self-coaching akin to putting on a bowtie - it takes me way too long and never comes out right. Glad to hear about Kellie Garrett's resource that can help me help me :)
