Speaker:
When you hire a coach, it's most likely because you want to improve
Speaker:
your situation in some way or another.
Speaker:
But there's a huge gap between how bad coaches and good
Speaker:
coaches try to achieve that.
Speaker:
Bad coaches try to make you feel less miserable.
Speaker:
Great coaches try to make you feel more brilliant which means that both
Speaker:
sit on opposite sides of a spectrum.
Speaker:
It's not that bad coaches are like great ones, just not as good.
Speaker:
They are squarely different.
Speaker:
Great coaches work from the assumption that you are brilliant and that you
Speaker:
have both, the skill and the will, to achieve even more brilliant things.
Speaker:
Back coaches work from the assumption that you are kind of miserable and
Speaker:
don't really know what you're doing.
Speaker:
Thank goodness you called them so they can save you from that misery.
Speaker:
This kind of coach often has way more answers than questions and they tell
Speaker:
you what to do and what not to do because they know while you don't.
Speaker:
It's an off-balance relationship where the coach thinks they are
Speaker:
more brilliant than you are.
Speaker:
Great coaches have a different approach.
Speaker:
They establish a balanced relationship in which they are brilliant at what they do
Speaker:
while you are brilliant at what you do.
Speaker:
They usually have more questions than answers and help you find a way that
Speaker:
allows you to grow from where you're at.
Speaker:
They don't tell you what to do.
Speaker:
They will figure it out with you.
Speaker:
They use their brilliance to boost your brilliance.
