Coach & Close

Transcript: Thank you for showing up and doing the work in the goals to outcomes course. Now, what It's time for coaching close where I share some high performance insights to help you build and maintain momentum on your growth journey. According to the High Performance Institute, the attributes of high performers are clarity, energy, courage, productivity, influence, and necessity, the internal motivation or purpose that drives action. At this point, in a consulting engagement, many clients are excited about their clearly defined strategy and goals. However, when I check in with them a week, two weeks, a month later, they're frustrated by their lack of progress. Again, clarity of strategy, tactics and goals matter. What's just as important is commitment. High performing advisors maintain clarity and focus. They take care of themselves to sustain their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy needed to do hard things. They're courageous in taking bold action.

They're productive, not just busy. They influence their teams and others by teaching them how to think, challenging them and acting as a role model. They hold themselves accountable or create structures to help maintain accountability. If you don't respect your time, who will? I'll leave you with some coaching prompts to help you stay focused and committed on taking action according to your strategy and goals. Whenever you need, you can come back to these prompts. I highly recommend writing these questions down in a journal or notebook. Write out your answers. It's not enough to simply think about or consider the questions. I challenge you to take the time to write out the responses and reflect on them as you work towards your goals. Prompt one, what's the impact of achieving your goals on you, your team, your clients, your community? Prompt two, how will you reflect and celebrate progress along the way? Prompt three, assume you are successful. What does your future self have to say? How would he or she encourage you today? What would he or she warn you against? How do they feel about your success? You've got this. What's next? Head to course two, to define and implement an ideal client profile or persona to amplify your development efforts and grow with the right new clients, or reference your growth lab assessment to determine which course to explore next. Great work. Let's keep growing.
