Are you coachable?

Can you execute what
your coach recommends?

Not everybody is coachable, you know.
I’ve worked with a lot of non-coachable people.
They’ve done it wrong so long they see no other way.
Their experience narrows their perspective.
They close their minds. That holds them back.

They strangle on their own limiting beliefs.

Then there’s the “smartest guy in the room”.
He’s seen it all. He’s tried it all. He knows it all.
You can’t show him anything new that he will accept.

There’s no point in trying to coach these people.
They will ignore and resist your best efforts.
Even worse, they will gossip behind your back.
They will belittle your sincere efforts to help them.

As a coach, I look for those who are curious.
They read. They listen. They soak up ideas.
More than that, they take action on new ideas.
They don’t just nod in agreement and do nothing.
They take notes, set priorities, tackle new projects.
They are restless to achieve more.

How curious are you? How open are you to new ideas?
Do you take notes? Set priorities? Tackle new projects?
If not, it’s time to re-examine your motivation.
