Haven’t brain dumped in a bit.
Weeks seem to be going by faster and faster but I’m slowing down more and more in the moment. Coaching is going well. Writing the book is progressing nicely. I’m leveling LaundroLab marketing up. I’m prepping for the marathon. Those are the top priorities. Everything is filling in around it. It feels nice to have fewer priorities. I can go deeper on those priorities. I have to think less about how I want to spend my time. It’s work and then straight to some physical activity and coaching activity and writing the 1st draft of the book.
Within coaching, the focus has been on the delivery of the service. Get people in the pipeline and give value. The book is helping with the coaching and vice versa.
Action is fun. I get lost in the weeds in a good way. In all of the activities. Managing someone at work is very similar to coaching. I’m more of a coach with Alexa and consultant with the franchisees. I’m erroneously thinking I should be a coach when I need to be a consultant. That’s the mindset change I need.
Everything in an org is in this CCC framework. Coach-consultant-counsel.
As an employee looking to hire a supervisee team member, I should be thinking of what type of client do I want? What type do I want to attract? They should be no-brainers. Make us feel stupid for not hiring them. Starting coaching has shifted how I think about orgs and hires. Hiring someone above me, I should be looking for someone who would be a no-brainer coach.
Jessica Lackey was saying it’s like that but an extra layer of being a manager. It’s a coach + accountability partner. If they’re not meeting expectations or growth, then hard decisions need to be made.
