“You don’t really think what could happen to yourself, you think ‘how is what I am doing going to improve the situation?’”. L/Cpl Josh Leakey VC
I am not sure if you saw the story of Josh Leakey this week? It was an incredible story of a modest man who defied the situation he was in to accomplish something in a situation where most people would be rooted to the spot.
So what has this got to do with business, and indeed coaching? If you think about it there are some clear lessons here:
- If you focus only on yourself, you may hold yourself back from being the best you can possibly be in a situation.
- Think about your actions and how they can help. How many times have you been in meetings where you have seen self-destructive behaviors?
- Focus on the outcomes and you might just get there.
If any of these points strike a cord, perhaps you need to reflect on where you are headed, maybe you need to speak to a coach?
