This is a question often asked by people who do not have a coaching experience. As we learn easily from examples, my analogy for the relationship between coaching is with sports figures, Olympians, and fitness gurus. Sure, they can train by themselves. The coach is an assurance policy they will produce the best outcome from an objective perspective. Performance progress is about improvement and advancement from the last episode. The coach is the witness and expert to call out what needs improvement and what is excellent. For example, the coach may demonstrate technique, yet may not be scoring a 10 on their own style. They are experienced and studied to know without being the best athlete themselves.

The role of the coach:

The coach is a witness and sounding board.
A coach encourages and inspires the pupil to keep moving forward.
A coach questions and promotes thought into action.
A coach challenges the pupil beyond self-limiting beliefs.

Years of research and interaction with clients show me the top five issues a coach responds to regarding a client’s performance at work and on a personal level—

Belief
Environment
Fear factor
1. Imposter syndrome Smartest person in room
  1. Prove to oneself they are worthy
2. Procrastination
  1. Fear-based behavior
  2. Don’t want to make a bad decision
    1. Self-Victimization
    2. Steeped in criticism
  3. FOMO—Fear of Missing Out
    1. Too much emphasis on what others think about oneself.
    2. Fear of left behind, abandonment
  4. Tolerances
    1. Sap energy
    2. Distractions
  5. Temperament
    1. Persistent
    2. Optimistic v pessimistic
    3. Self-definitions of achievement and success

These manifest in negative or positive self-talk and body language. They can be culprits for self-sabotage.

The coach holds up a mirror to the client so he/she can see themselves for who they really are in a safe space. No criticism only room for improvement and powerful questions that bring issues to the foreground. Course corrections are made with the full commitment of the client; the client knows that coach has his/her best interest always. The trust must be established. The relationship is sacred and promotes growth, understanding, and fulfillment on one’s own terms.

10-Point System Multi-Dimensional Leadership System™

August 12, 2019

Positive Potentials’ 10-Point System Multi-Dimensional System™

In our book (see products), Magnetic Leadership, I pour my passion about the learned, values-driven leadership style. My theme centers around The End of Dominance: Enter the Multi-Dimensional Leader.

We have all heard about Servant Leadership and Shared Leadership. These ideas are much harder to implement. A company’s culture must be receptive to such ideas and demonstrate a desire to reap the benefits of such models.

The Multi-Dimensional Leader’s™ (MDL) model

The MDL makes decisions founded on long-range values and reasonable risk rather than reaction and illusion.

Has an innate sense of balance and alignment.
Dares to live daily integrity, even when it is difficult to “do the right thing.”
Possesses uncanny vision and courage to be different or contrarian.
Attracts and fosters self-reliant and self-motivated collaborations, people and resources.
Radiates emotional intelligence and teaches others this acquired skill just by being in her/his presence.
Embraces the value of mentoring and professional coaching
Cultivates entrepreneurial energy within the most rigid organization; breathes the vision to elevate the Purpose, Profits and Productivity for everyone within their sphere of influence.
Possesses presence and security to inspire confidence in others
Fosters Business Literacy™ throughout the company and service providers.
Respects and sponsors lifelong learning and models it.

When supporting our clients, we craft the vision in several ways:

• Identify qualities like those listed above.

• Determine Fish, flesh or fowl—What do you stand for?

• Offer strategic transitions, adaptation, and modification for the existing company culture to become the leader’s vision.

• Define, develop the Entrepreneur’s Mindset™* and apply Entrepreneurial Energy to each level of the company to stimulate ownership.

• Strategize and encourage visionary and values-driven leadership in others- productive associates and beneficial alliances who share the values.

The outcome of using Positive Potentials’ model is long-term results

• Generates increased revenue streams for maximum profitability and resilience in volatile markets.

• Uses Business Literacy™ and LaserLearning™ Principles to shorten the company’s learning curve (reduced bureaucracy, meritocracy rewards, open architecture, and boosted prized innovation).

• Manifests self-referred associates bringing freshness to their positions for greater accuracy and energy.

• Effortless flow rather PUSH/PULL. Stimulates flow performance (based on Mihaly Csiksentmihaly work with optimal experience.)

• Demonstrates value of streamlined and integrated business operations and processes focused on positive outcomes and results.

• Inspires all associated with the company and its providers to meaningful work and output, referrals, increased sales, and branding.

When did you last repair someone’s trust?

December 10, 2015

Confidential coaching positions me to bear witness to a myriad of circumstances. Within that context, I am asked many questions. How to repair trust is one that is poignant.

When trust is bruised or “killed”, there can be a physical feeling of an open wound. We can empathize with some who was betrayed. If remorse sets in, the betrayer also can experience the “wound.”

There are a few ways one can attempt to build trust. Ultimately, we can never account for someone else’s behavior or thinking, just our own. We must not allow others to define who we are and what we stand for.

Yes, everyone makes mistakes. The gift that will emerge for you is awareness, because you are making an honest effort.

So, what can we do to begin a healing process for broken trust:

Show up with a sincere, contrite apology. Sometimes a written one is powerful so the recipient has time to process it. In few words, be specific about what you are apologizing for, i.e. did you hurt someone’s feelings, was there a misunderstanding, did you strike out at someone?
Own it, and learn from the circumstance no matter how painful. Analyze what you did and how you can avoid such behavior in the future.
Back off. Give the recipient time to absorb your apology.
In the meantime, do what you say you will do. Talk is cheap.
Actions speak louder than words, so make an effort to support the recipient by being present for him or her.
Be consistent with your renewed outreach. Be who you say you are.

Ultimately, the apology was delivered. After that, it is up to the injured party to invite you back into their lives. You’ll know. -MC
