The #1 trait I look for in people I coach

Do you have it? ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ You know the #1 trait I look for in people I coach or companies I consult for? Coach-ability. Yes, there are other traits that matter. But if they don't have coach-ability then nothing else matters. It's the foundation upon which everything else is built. I was NOT coachable when I was growing up. When it came to tennis, I was every coaches wet dream and nightmare all wrapped into package. I was physically super talented. But I had a horrible temper and had trouble listening to coaches once I was angry. (Only on the tennis court. Off court I was chill.) Emotionally and mentally I was one of the worst players out there. I couldn't control myself and it drove everyone crazy. There's nothing more frustrating for a coach than watching someone squander their natural talent. Nowadays I'm very coachable in whatever I pursue. I know how important it is to have an open mind and listen to those who are further along than me. Or have an expertise I don't have. It's not always easy to be coachable. Sometimes my ego creeps in and tells me I know more than the coach. But I've learned how to let go of it...as long as I believe I've selected the right coach. In The Collective (my mastermind group) I'm the coach. Sometimes my coaching style can come across as a bit blunt or even harsh because I'm brutally honest. Let me be clear...I'm never mean. I'm never critical or rude about helping. I just tell the truth in the most loving way I can. I say things that people are afraid to say. That's what you want in a coach. You want someone who's willing to tell you the things that other people are too afraid to say. On yesterday's Collective call I gave some "blunt" advice. And the guy in the group took it really well. That's how I know he's the right fit for the group. He's coachable. If you're coachable and you want to join a bunch of high level marketers, copywriters, and business owners in the Collective...check it out.
