If you’re a leadership or self-improvement junkie you’ve likely heard the name Simon Sinek whose written a few good books and done at least one Ted talk around this idea of why. His Ted Talk and one of his book describes this idea of Why. You need to understand why it is you do what you do. You should work to understand the why in your life, your business, and everything you do. So I thought I would let you know why it is I coach people.
I coach people because I believe that every person wants to be better than they are. It’s a simple as that. I believe that if you ask most people if they are doing the best they can that they will tell you that they aren’t doing all they can and they know in the hearts they have more to give. Walk through a bookstore, I know that’s an ancient practice, but the store will be filled with books on how to help yourself. People are looking for help and that should be encouraging. However, what’s deeply saddening is that people think they can do it all on their own with sheer willpower. I would say that it’s not sustaining and not possible. More on that in a blog post down the road.
If you took the time to think about how you could be better I bet you could come up with a list. I’d love to see your list and if you would allow me help you work through some of them. Let me know how I can help you be better than you are!
Below is a link to the Simon Sinek book that is a great read.
