When you hire a coach, it's most likely because you want to improve
Speaker:
00:00:06
your situation in some way or another.
Speaker:
00:00:09
But there's a huge gap between how bad coaches and good
Speaker:
00:00:13
coaches try to achieve that.
Speaker:
00:00:16
Bad coaches try to make you feel less miserable.
Speaker:
00:00:20
Great coaches try to make you feel more brilliant which means that both
Speaker:
00:00:27
sit on opposite sides of a spectrum.
Speaker:
00:00:30
It's not that bad coaches are like great ones, just not as good.
Speaker:
00:00:35
They are squarely different.
Speaker:
00:00:38
Great coaches work from the assumption that you are brilliant and that you
Speaker:
00:00:42
have both, the skill and the will, to achieve even more brilliant things.
Speaker:
00:00:48
Back coaches work from the assumption that you are kind of miserable and
Speaker:
00:00:54
don't really know what you're doing.
Speaker:
00:00:56
Thank goodness you called them so they can save you from that misery.
Speaker:
00:01:01
This kind of coach often has way more answers than questions and they tell
Speaker:
00:01:05
you what to do and what not to do because they know while you don't.
Speaker:
00:01:11
It's an off-balance relationship where the coach thinks they are
Speaker:
00:01:16
more brilliant than you are.
Speaker:
00:01:19
Great coaches have a different approach.
Speaker:
00:01:21
They establish a balanced relationship in which they are brilliant at what they do
Speaker:
00:01:27
while you are brilliant at what you do.
Speaker:
00:01:30
They usually have more questions than answers and help you find a way that
Speaker:
00:01:34
allows you to grow from where you're at.
Speaker:
00:01:38
They don't tell you what to do.
Speaker:
00:01:40
They will figure it out with you.
Speaker:
00:01:42
They use their brilliance to boost your brilliance.
