Episode Description
This is the 'set up' meeting in a typical AC coaching engagement - the first of eight weekly meetings. As a coach, I'm still motivating the work that my client will have to do. I'm also explaining mindset kinds of things. There should be a lot of knowledge you can take away.
Chris's approach - Chris is an accomplished coach. He works with people on mindset and new knowledge - trying to help people Fill In The Gaps. His book is The Principle Toolbox, part of his 100-page Toolbox Series. He KNOWS that he doesn't have the best handle on these ideas. He didn't turn his brain off, but he is trying to learn. Hear how interested and motivated he is to learn and get better at managing his attention. Listen for how much he wants to get better.
I want you to think about three things as you listen to the coaching meeting:
- This is a live coaching meeting - it is not scripted. I want you to have an idea of what working with me is like. When I work with clients we explore ideas and different approaches and mindsets. Think: "Could I work with Larry? How does he communicate? Can I picture myself in Chris's seat?" I hope you find that my style is very approachable and conversational.
- Put yourself in Chris's shoes; pretend that you're my coaching client. How can you apply these ideas to your own situation? Does what I'm saying make sense to you, or do I need to explain more or differently. Think about any questions you might have that Chris didn't ask. Send those questions to me at [email protected].
- There is plenty of actionable material here on managing interruption, multitasking, and distraction. Listen for action steps that you can take away and IMMEDIATELY implement against them. If you run into roadblocks, you can always reach out to me. My goal is for you to be more productive, starting tomorrow, and I want to help in any way I can.
Closing
I hope you were able to gather some significant, actionable information from this recording. I also hope that you walk away as motivated as Chris was. I expect you'll see a different perspective on coaching. I hope that you will take advantage of all of the effort and learning I went through as I "did it backwards" with Do, Learn, Define. Now I can share that learning with you so you can work the right (most productive) way - Define, Learn, Do.
