The last few years have been especially hard on most of us. Heck, normal life without the ramifications of this global economic meltdown was challenging enough. The sad reality is that many people we work with have begun to question their ability to contribute. Maybe we’ve even had those doubts ourselves at times.
Are you hearing and believing any of the following?
Do you know the answer to this question? Discovering “why” is critical to so many areas of our business and our lives.
We all walk through life hearing about what we should do to improve. Still, most of us struggle with changing our behavior.
Over the years, I have coached thousands of people in one-on-one or group sessions. Most of these coaching conversations revolved around the topic of improvement — quality of life, business results, health, relationships, team performance. People typically hire a coach because they believe they will have a better chance of making the necessary changes with a coach on their team.
And of course, I agree!
The problem is that almost all of these improved results require improved behaviors, and behavior is not easily changed. If we want to change our behavior, we must change our thinking. And to change our thinking, we must be able to clearly define “why.”
