Oh, Just One Thing . . .

December 2, 2010

It has been a tumultuous year for many of my colleagues and me. This time of reflection allows for a self-applause that we are still standing!

One question I have for you is what do you need to do to get out of your own way?

Sounds philosophical, but sometimes we need to be challenged. Consider these questions to rev your engine:

What will be different next year? Pick one thing and DO it. Consider where you perceive the largest gap to be and fill it.
Will you go back to school, participate in social media, add new equipment, hire a marketing coordinator, or continue to do everything yourself? At least stop long enough to ask the question.
What social or networking group can I attend to improve my marketing skills?
What computer skill needs attention? In my business coaching practice, I find 90% of productivity problems begin with lack of computer skills.

Please help me to inspire others. What are your innovative ideas for the coming year? Please comment and I will post them in my January newsletter. -MC

Coachcubas

As a credentialed business coach and analyst, one of my primary functions is to work with individuals and company managers to clarify where they are presently, where they would like to advance, and what tools they have and need to achieve their desired outcome.

I use a variety of tools to assess perceptions including Platinum Rule instruments, my experience and training in assessing behavior. My preferred tool is the EQ-i®, emotional intelligence inventory. I have specialized training on the EQ-i® and DISC Inventories and access to multiple other sources including a company culture index. I prefer the EQ-i® because it is the least judgmental instrument I have found. It focuses on strengths and areas of development related to the goals set by the individual. For example, people are more likely to apply the EQ-i®’s information rather than label themselves by the Myers-Briggs categories.
