Executive Coaching
My first morning at Royal Roads Executive Coaching Certificate, I was told two things that contradicted my ‘being’
First – The person being coached will do 85% of the talking, the coach will only talk 15%
Second – The knowledge the Coach brings is not as important and as what the person being coached brings
I looked at my team and announced, “I am obviously in the wrong place”
That is not what I thought Coaching was all about…….yet
By the first afternoon, my perspective shifted – dramatically
My first coaching session opened my eyes to the value in having someone simply ‘listen’, as well as thinking through powerful questions asked of me. The kind that make you say “Now, that’s a great question” while you are trying to buy time to answer it; because it is forcing you to dive deep for the answer
We are ALL capable of finding the answers in ourselves – a Coach is simply there to turn on the lights one at a time during the journey.

I spent years planning to get fit,
to do more, to eat less
Years
of the same self talk
Yes, in my head I was achieving it
In real life….not so much
My life changed when I hired a personal trainer
I soon realized the similarities of
‘getting a person in shape’
&
‘getting your business in shape’
