During the past year I’ve been on a growth spurt. No, I’m not getting taller, nor am I getting heavier. In fact, my growth spurt has helped me lose nearly 30 pounds. What I’m referring to is personal growth.
Yesterday I was reminded once again at how powerful having an Executive Training Coach can be to help break through those road blocks that life so often puts in the way.
My coach is Tony Richards, Senior Partner at Word Marketing. Tony is a friend and spiritual mentor. After attending his Kingdom Growth Strategies classes throughout the early part of 2010, I knew I needed him to help me continue to grow. I hired him to be my Executive Training Coach and have been on the biggest growth spurt of my life since that fateful day!
At about 9:15am yesterday I received an unexpected call from Tony. As usual, he seemed to sense just when I was at my lowest and had a timely bit of advice for me. In less than 15 minutes, he had me re-focused and ready to conquer my mountain! The day turned around and I went home happy and satisfied with my efforts for the day, instead of having a day of depression.
While I am singing Tony’s praises, I would encourage you to consider hiring your own Executive Training Coach. It’s truly amazing how these people can keep you focused, motivated, and break through all the nonsense. If Olympic athletes and professional football players need coaches, what makes you think you don’t?
By the way, check out this amazing video located on Tony’s blog. If you dig the UPS Whiteboard commercials, you’re gonna love this video. I promise you it will be the quickest 10 minute presentation you’ll ever sit through and you’re going to get something of value out of it. While you are there, why not look through the rest of the entries. I bet you’ll find something of value there, too!
If you like that video, here is another using the same animation technology. This is a short presentation by Daniel Pink, author of the book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us. This clip will explain why traditional commission structures no longer produce the desired results. Have you seen this within your sales force?
