I
expect Your Best We should only be working together if you are ready
to do and be your best. If you aren't doing your best, I will ask you to do so.
If you can't be your best at the moment, I will understand and together we'll
figure out how to get you back on track! I
Make Specific Requests From time to time, I will make a direct request,
such as "Will you accomplish X by the end of the month?" You may accept
the request, counter-offer (e.g.: "I can't do X, but I can do Y") or
decline (rare). I will always support you whichever way you respond. I
will Ask Questions To clarify what may be misperceptions or misinterpretations
that make relationships less than smoth. I
Give Advice If I am sure of the situation, and you're open to it, I
will make specific suggestions on how to handle a problem or go for an opportunity.
If I am not sure, I will say so. Regardless, use the best of what I say, discard
the rest, and use your own best judgment. I
am Direct When I hear a funny tone in your voice, or notice something
amiss, I will ask you about it. Often, it is these small moments that offer the
chance to resolve something. However, I will not confront you; I will merely invite
you to take a closer look. I Give
Homework I typically ask you to determine two or three goals or actions
to focus on between our calls. If I am pushing you too much, say so. If you want
to be pushed harder, just ask. I'm Here for You I
want to hear it all. If you have a personal problem, are upset with something
(even me or the coaching), are just starting to realize something big, or can't
wait to share a breakthrough, please call or e-mail me. Anytime
