37 Ways to Boost Your Coaching Practice
By Steve Chandler
- The athletes, singers, and actors that want to go to the next level realize their need for a coach.
- A good coach focuses on change. See what the other person needs, and help them find a way to get there.
- Find a way to make it easy for people to work with you.
- Enthusiasm attracts enthusiastic people. People will want to work with you because there’s something that you have.
- Help people by serving.
- Good coaching uncovers belief – why is something happening or not happening.
- Ask yourself how you can help others.
- Stop selling and start serving.
- Be concerned more about what’s happening in their world than you are about your own world.
- Don’t try to talk people into or out of things. People want to make up their own minds about things.
- Find out the other person’s fears. Listen and answer questions.
- Do (say or teach) things once for information and twice for transformation.
- You are not too old (or too young, to poor, etc.) for anything, don’t believe that lie. Most limitations are in your mind.
- An objection does not mean no, it just means find another way.
- People do not worry because they care, they worry just because they worry. It is a mindless habit of overthinking.
- It’s not true that it is harder to break a habit the longer you have had it. Whether someone has had a habit for 60 years or 1 year, the same amount of commitment must be made to break the habit.
- A situation cannot upset you, it’s your assessment of the situation that upsets you. Only you and your thoughts can upset you, not the situations.
- Don’t say you would love to do something because the truth is you would do it if you wanted to. The same goes for saying you do not have time to do something.
- You do what you prioritize. We all have the same amount of time, we just prioritize things differently.
