Coaching and leading your way to success.
Richard Morin • December 20, 2018
If you are still managing, stop. Learn to coach and lead.
Nobody ever really wanted to be "managed", and nowadays even less.
FACT:
Coaching and leading will take more time than "managing" but ... the results you achieve will be commensurate with your efforts.
- Higher levels of engagement
- Better quality of effort
- Less turnover
- Reduced absenteeism
- A one on one coaching method is the key
- With an agenda created and provided to the employee in advance, the session will be easier to keep on track
- Produces a platform that allows a relationship to be built

Are you and the team you are trying to build, confident? What have you done to make it so? Have you engaged in role playing for the various sales, customer service, HR & interviewing people on your team? Confidence is critical if you and your team / company are to succeed as you might, but it is a transient element as everything changes so often and in ways that leaves some people behind. Role playing is but one of the many tools you can employ to help people step up and become more fluid in how they deliver their message and communications in general. Another great tool is the sharing of books whereby the material becomes fodder for short and to the point meetings where the content is discussed or debated and the team learns from the session. Confidence you ask? Yes it is tough, and not everyone is confident all of the time, but we can all learn to improve and become more competent which leads to confidence. Bringing in a trainer / mentor can clearly help, the investment will more than pay for itself.

People are habitual, and YOU are no different. How will you accomplish those things that you say are important ... to YOU? Reading helps, and although fiction is OK, it will not help you in your quest. Mentors can do a lot for YOU, that is "IF" you listen AND apply those things that you and your mentor agree upon. "IF" you are coachable, who is your coach? Experience has taught me that the future is always different and that what I have done is not as important as what I will do. Therefore ... developing discipline, an ability to ask and then listen in order to learn and understand while remaining the moment, without distractions are what comprises some of the behaviours and traits that can help pave the way for YOU.

While some are simply "weathering" this storm, others which might include your competition are creating new PLANS, developing and clarifying their PREPARATIONS, either over the phone or on video they are PRACTICING their skills and abilities at presenting, goading each other on leading to a higher level of performance. So ... what about you? What are you doing differently in these unique times? Will the same old / same old get you to where you once were? Really? Life is all about "YOU Working With YOU" which is applied to each of us. Competition abounds and there are those who are salivating at the chance to gain in market share, shelf space and profit.

Hiring a professional, someone who lives and breathes sales every day, to come in and work with you and your team can only help you. Confidence can be built up leading to increased performance and engagement within your company. Competence in sales skills leads to greater earnings for the sales person and high ROI for the company. Training delivers these two and a LOT more, just look at where you are now Vs where you know you should be and then do something about it.

Recruiting, interviewing, hiring ... is a tough game, and you know it. Gut feeling is too often used to make a decision, but ... how often have your hires worked out? Try a PXTS, I have clients throughout North America for good reason, the selection report generates a clear view of the applicant including interview questions based on the "fit" between their completed assessment and the pattern of the position and much more. There are other reports such as the coaching report which helps managers to become coaches and leaders. Contact me, I can help you. Rich
