Coaching

Yesterday began early in another Arizona city. I reported to a meeting of executives, managers, and professionals on the draft of a manual which I've been working on with a team of the client's employees. That was followed by a management coaching session with one of their employees, a quick lunch, and then a coaching session with another employee. Still another employee approached me about getting on the list to be coached.

Word spreads amid this very nice and bright group of people. My constant scheduling goal is to book at least two days of every week with nothing but coaching. The other days are then available for training, writing, or marketing. Training is more lucrative but coaching is low-key and it requires far less energy. You can also see the changes close-up.

Seeing improvement is a powerful motivator for all parties.

Now it's back to the computer and preparation of the online classes on leadership and ethics. I'm getting quite pumped about both classes and will keep you posted. I'm also writing follow-up messages regarding the coaching sessions.

A person once asked, "What do you do in those sessions?" My response was "We usually explore that which is hidden in plain sight." 

Finding that is much harder than many suspect. Solutions are often inches away, waiting to be seen by fresh eyes, but they like to hide.
