Coach's Corner

“It never ceases to surprise me at the infinite capacity of the human mind to resist the introduction of useful knowledge.”
- Thomas Raynesford Lounsbury

The Only Real Failure is the Failure to Act

Any person can ride a train. Only the wise person knows when to get off. It is difficult to solve new problems by using the same old tools. At times we can become prisoners of other people’s expectation and validation of us halting our growth in exploring the outer depths of who we are.

Never give someone power over your mind. It is a fatal strategy. Learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable is the beginning of transformative and sustainable personal growth. Use your voice for good. Your actions to inspire. While actively listening to discover and grow. If you are not changing, you are not growing. 

Many of life's frustrations will arrive in a package labeled opportunities. Sometimes the most important thing we can do is start a real conversation with ourselves and others. Each day we need to find moments of solitude to reconnect our mind, body, and spirit. The quality of your questions will determine the quality of your life.

Too many people want to be bosses rather than teachers. Spend more time doing things for other people rather than talking about them. Make your world a better place for others to enter. Go out of your way to make those you encounter feel important.

Today's leader empowers their team to believe that the transitions they are facing is progress and in their best interest. It is always about getting it right not who is right.  You have a moral obligation to coach and lead the whole person not just a particular niche of who they are. Concentrate on making unique contributions to the lives of others. Focus your time and energy on the process and not merely the prize. 

Leading in the 21st century comes down to managing attitude, behavior, and performance. Leadership is not a rank. It is an action, mindset, and lifestyle. Remain a student of life while bringing a new sense of meaning and value to your craft every day. The only real failure is the failure to act!
