Coaching is for the Champions!

Sports has embraced coaching as a proven tool for continuous development and nurturing of human talent.The underlying belief is that we are never “done”. The best of the best in every sport has a coach by their side to help them keep getting better. Business world is warming up to the concept too.

Early in my coaching journey , my belief was that I can help anyone and everyone to get better. Unfortunately, I learnt it the hard way that coaching works ONLY with talented individuals with growth mindset. These are people who can soak new learning as sponges and have an intrinsic motivation to continuously get better at their game. These are individuals who are positive , hungry to learn and ready to sharpen their skills to achieve the desired outcomes.

If you are a coach , choose your client wisely . If you are a leader , choose your team member wisely before you invest time , energy and resources in coaching.

Coachability of the person is an important attribute for this process to work.

I learnt this from my coaches and my personal experience and it has made a huge difference.
