Are you COACHABLE?

Are you in the category of someone who is "coachable"? Do you have the ability to change behaviors in yourself?
I can certainly say for certainly that I am. I am a glutton for continuous learning and I try to constantly keep up with the latest news and trends, especially when it comes to the Hospitality Market.
Of course, reviewing the 5 steps to "coachability" can certainly be a huge asset. What are they you ask?







  1. HUMILITY-   The importance of this as our #1 step is extremely large. Humility is teaching us that there are things we need to do that we cannot do on our own. Humility cannot be obtained by reading a book, a life lesson that is acquired. Humility requires a CHANGE OF HEART not a CHANGE OF MIND. 
  2. ACTION BIAS- basic terms' JUST DO IT" - contemplate later. Enough said.
  3. PURITY OF PURPOSE- Are your intentions pure of heart or are you only thinking in monetary terms? 
  4. Willingness to surrender control- Most of us say that we will give UP control only when we SEE results. Realistically, the main reason most of us NEED coaching is to learn HOW to give up control!!  Interesting fact.
  5. FAITH- The benefits of change are often only obvious AFTER the actual change has occurred. How many times have you heard the statement' Well if I would have known THEN what I know NOW I would have changed SOONER". Silly, I can assume we have ALL made that statement a time or two in our lives.
Strangely enough, these 5 steps appear to be so simple and yet, why is it that we CANNOT sometimes accept them to move forward?

Coaching is an incredible and useful tool, valued by many but not readily accepted by all.

ARE YOU COACHABLE? Are you moving forward or stuck glancing behind you?
