Well. I have just had a brilliant coaching session with supercoach Michael Neill . He is SOOOOO insightful. I've joined his supercoach academy and will be joining him in New York for 6 weekends plus loads of teleclasses etc in 2010. I can't wait. As a coach, I invest in my own training and personal development for 2 reasons- me and you.And what better reason could there be? I just know that I am going to grow in the quality of my practice and as a person through this training.
How do I know ? Because I know Michael is a great teacher from my reading. I intuitively know he is a great enabler and consummate professional and that he cares about the quality of what he is delivering. I know that I always learn from people who stretch me to think-My brain is aching after the hour with him today.I know that I am going to meet some more great coaches who are attending the academy and that we will learn from each other.SO what's not to know? That's all I need.
What about you? What do you need to know to invest in you? When you make decisions about developing yourself be that buying a book, attending a workshop or some more in depth training.What do you need to know? How do you decide?
Michael and I talked about all sorts of stuff today.One of the most challenging questions that Michael put to me was one derived from the work of Marcus Buckingham on successful people and the one thing you need to know His question was "Have you figured out yet what it is that you don't like doing and have you stopped doing it"? We talked about the fact that even if you are excellent at something and people love you and want you for it, It doesn't mean you have to keep doing it.
So, what are you doing that you no longer want to do even if you are the best thing since sliced bread at doing it?
I guess the bigger question is WHY?
I'll leave you to ponder and wonder or wander.
