Unlocking the potential in people starts with one main ingredient - THE WILL TO WIN.
The only way to see what we are capable of is to get us on the playing field and recognize if a person has that will to win. When deciding who too invest in as a coach, we are looking for the person who is willing to take a chance 1 more time., to dream 1 more time, and willing to pay the price. It has nothing to do with degrees, social status, or talent.
Recognizing that immeasurable is a key to leadings someone to life-changing success. Then you must be proud of them. People need support and love more in the down times than the up times. You must have an unconditional commitment to them. You can't just say it with words, you have to feel it, believe it and express it. Be sincerely excited for them to win, as much as you are excited for your own kids to win!
A strong, effective leader/coach accepts people's weaknesses and rewards their strengths. The secret to bringing out the best in others is praise and recognition. The people we are coaching need 3 big things:
1. To belong to a group
2. The feel appreciated
3. To be Recognized for their Efforts
As a leader, to get great results, REWARD THE POSITIVE, DO NOT DWELL ON THE NEGATIVE!!!
"THE SECRET"
-praise successful behavior
-creates a self motivated team
-motivates others and they'll want to copy
Its a grave mistake in coaching to focus on a person's weaknesses, and change them or change the person. The real magic happens when we focus on a person's strengths and build on them. Find that area that makes people special and build on that!
****ALWAYS LOOKS FOR REASONS TO PRAISE******
(don't worry about overdoing praise)
*****BE SLOW TO CRITICIZE******
The most effective way to criticize or correct is lack of praise.
"When you want to criticize, don't"
More to come.....
So far - Powerful stuff for me! Can't wait to read your ideas and srategies!
