Coaching a Speaker Go From 25 Gigs to 100 | John K. Coyle | Ep 1014

"I have all these people I know, and I've never asked for help ever from anybody." - John K. CoyleJoin Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and John K. Coyle for a live coaching session. John is a five-time TEDx speaker, a former world-ranked speed skater, and the author of Design for Strengths. He has never lost a room in ten years. He has also never asked anyone for anything. This session goes at the gap between being excellent and being known. It looks at what happens when the athlete's operating system, head down and work harder, hits the ceiling of a business that runs on other people. And it takes apart the difference between a small ask that stalls and a large ask that moves.Three things leaders take away:The bigger ask is the easier ask. Small requests feel like begging. Large ones feel like a gift.Fixing your weaknesses is how you go backward. John has the record to prove it.You cannot read your own label from inside the jar. Expertise does not exempt you.Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.
