Listening to Coaching Advice Can Make You a Winner

coach.winner.success.2

Most winners in business have coaches to guide them in managing projects, resolving complex situations, and addressing their leadership savvy.

Many wanna-be winners fail to hire a coach and struggle to succeed.

  • -They believe the company should pay for it.
  • -They are uncoachable and hate being told what to do.
  • -They believe DIY is the only way to win.

The bottom line? The right coaching advice will help you become a winner faster and easier.

4 Ways to Become a Winner

Expand Your POV

Expand your POV of who, what, when, where, and why before addressing how to achieve your goals and become a winner.

Julie’s goal was to become the next VP until her company brought in Diane, the new CEO. Diane brought in her own team and Julie now reported to Trevor. Trevor wanted Julie gone because he believed her POV was, “that’s not the way things should be done.”

Julie viewed herself as a victim. When she met with an executive coach, she was stuck with a feeling of being resigned to “this situation is the way it is.”

At first, she resented the coach taking her out of her comfort zone.

The coach knew from experience that Julie was missing a golden opportunity. The coach also knew executives need to be resourceful, resilient, flexible, and not shy away from opportunities.

That’s why the coach encouraged Julie to win by expanding her POV.

“Julie, meet with former bosses and others within the company to learn about upcoming challenges. Discuss potential solutions. Uncover job opportunities in the company. Often, new management teams move on in a year or two. If you’re still working in the company, you have the best opportunity to get the VP job at that time.”

Luckily, Julie got the million-dollar coaching advice she didn’t think she wanted or needed.

Be Coachable

Remember, the right coach has you do what you don’t want to do so you can achieve the results you’ve always wanted and be a winner.

Many struggle in their careers, personal, financial, health, and other pursuits. They often fail to ask for help because they don’t want to look bad or feel humiliated.

Winners are coachable and know they need to ask for help and take the recommended actions to win!

Listen for the Gold

When you listen for the gold, you will hear new ways of how to achieve your goals…usually outside your POV.

When we rely on our own limited beliefs and don’t listen to coaching advice it’s because:

  • -We love our own ideas and don’t want to expand
  • -We play favorites on our team
  • -We use lack of money as an excuse
  • -We lack interest in working through the details

A coach will teach you how to brainstorm, listen for the gold, and become a winner.

Hire the Right Coach

There are many different types of coaches … hiring the right one will make all the difference.

David hired a life coach to help him launch a new business. Three months later, after spending $20K for coaching, he still did not have a viable business. The coach told him it would cost another $20K to continue.

Sadly, this type of scenario happens too often. The most common reason is the coach doesn’t have the right expertise.

Winners know hiring the right coach with the right expertise requires conducting proper due diligence. Don’t make David’s mistake.
