Message #2

Been an interesting and busy week. I am just completing the second week of the British Coaches workshops doing 6 presentations around the UK to around 500 coaches. Despite having 3 different options for connecting to the internet i have been unable to do so in the various cities over the last few days so message 2 was a bit delayed!

After attending a masterclass of the Professional Speakers Association over the weekend i reviewed my presentation and decided the conclusion could be much mor effective. i built a new conclussion around one of my favorite quotes.....


“You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions” Naguib Mahfouz

I am now finsihing by challenging coaches to look at themselves and their coaching to find ways to help people more. The response has been good and the coaches very engaged.

The key to improving the players yesturday ended up being as simple as creating a desire to learn. Using the forumula D x V x F > cost of change. (Dissatisfaction x Vision x First Steps) We used simple awareness games to create a dissatisfaction in the players about the current performance which led to highly motivated learners. The power of a motivated learner never ceases to amaze me!!!

Thank you for following my blog. This is a new platform for me and I hope to use it effectively which will only be measured by how much it helps you.
It seems reasonable to start by defining what it is about.

Performance

The manner in which or the efficiency in which something reacts or fulfills its intended purpose

Potential

capable of being or becoming

The aim of this blog will be to share my experiences as they happen and hope that you can pull on them and any other thoughts and insights i may have from time to time to fullfil your potential, and purpose, succesfully and efficiently

I believe a nice way to start this journey is with the famous words of legendary coach John Wooden

"Success is the peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best that you are capable of becoming"

Lets work together to reach our potential, to become the best we are capable of and enjoy the journey!
