Secrets to 10X your coaching influence

I have just read a great email fro Christine Michelson  - on the 3 steps for a coach to 10X their influence 

Here’s the link 

As John Maxwell says - Leadership is about being able to influence - nothing more - nothing less! 

He has written a number of books on leadership - start off by reading the 21 laws of leadership! 

Anyhow - this article reminded me of a pneumonic mt mentor Allen Pathmarajah shared with me 

LEADER 

In order to  accelerate positive change you need to be a good LEADER  

Listen 

Empathy

Connection - being able to authentically connect you need to 

• listen - listen and silent have the same letters 
• and have empathy - you need to understand and care how the other people feels - people don’t know how much you know until they know how much you care 

Attitude - your attitude will determine your aptitude and altitude. It’s your attitude that will determine how you feel . Is the jar half full or half empty ? 

Determination  - the power of intention is massive - have a mission , have a vision , have a goal - break these down into strategies and smart tasks - (much like cutting a loaf of bread into slices before eating it - tasks that are 

S - Specific 

M - measurable 

A - achievable

R - realistic

T - timeframe 

And then “eat the frog” - do the hardest task first - the rest will be easy . 

A few years ago I joined a group of amazing humans 3 mornings a week from 6-7am for boxing and fitness - this group is a not for profit called tribal warrior - led by an inspirational Shane Philips with a view to educate, upskill, inspire and enthuse aboriginal kids and help give them a sense of purpose . 

More than 50 aboriginal kids are there and at the end of the session - they go in a circle - and express gratitude for what they have and then say in their mother tongue and English “if this is the hardest thing we do today / it’s gonna be a good day! “

Engage, Enthuse and Inspire to do things that will help you achieve your goal while helping the other person , people achieve theirs . 

And 

Resilience!!! How to cultivate a mindset of  resilience . In business and life - everything goes in cycles - know that if you are focussed and have a clear direction with strong values - at low times - resilience is the spring that will boost you up
