Your Daily Focus: Coaching
The “I Care What You Think” Club Is by Invitation Only. — R.S.
You are probably someone who really wants to help others feel better. You probably also sometimes feel that you want it more for them than they want it for themselves.
I’d like to share a tip. Coaching and teaching only works when two conditions are met. One, they are asking for your help. Two, they are conceptually within reach of your answer. What I mean by that is that your expanded perspective is within a baby step of their current thinking.
You know this to be true from personal experience. Only when you are open and asking will you learn. And only when the answer is within reach. Ever re-read a book years after you first read it, and find something completely new? That’s the concept… it is now within reach.
Enjoy the ride. Life is a never ending journey of growth and expansion. Lucky for us, there is always more!

The biggest leaps in my personal life and business have come at times that I have been actively involved in being coached. You simply cannot do it yourself. There is always someone who can see important aspects of your life that you are blind to. That is why I appreciate the coaching sessions you and I have. It has allowed me to continue on my journey of having my own maximum life as defined by me. Great message.
