Are You Coachable?

May 19, 2021

There’s a reason all athletes and executives have coaches. Even when they are nearing the pinnacle of their ability, they still need that fine tuning to continue to be effective each and every time they show up for the game or the board meeting.

Some clients want to optimize their performance, make a significant transformation or simply explore how to remove the blocks and barriers they’ve been experiencing on their journey. Sometimes the client isn’t ready. They aren’t ready to change and not ready to do the work.

I’ve been thinking lately about what it takes to be “coachable” ? The realist in me knows that you can’t force someone to accept the coaching you are providing, but the optimist in me believes that everyone has that break through moment. That moment where they realize that in order to move past a situation where they are stuck, it will take some really real self-awareness and some very specific actions.

Coaching can really come from anyone, at any time. Managers, professional coaches, friends, colleagues, spouses, your children (don’t you love it when your kid identifies your area of improvement – that can be powerful, punch you in the gut type of coaching), or any well-meaning person you encounter can offer you a coaching moment.

Coaching is a discovery. A discovery of your deepest self, your desires, your motivations, your
fears. If you have the desire, the motivation and the openness, a good qualified coach is out
there ready to help you achieve your goals.

Bold is different from courage and confidence. Bold is being afraid and still taking a chance. Bold is traveling your life’s journey on your terms. Being bold means that you have the strength to make the choices for your highest good.
