CORE COACHING QUALITY 1

Excellence is not the issue – everything is

excellent – it’s about

relevance and context.

• It is no longer about what you know – the internet has made sure that everyone knows what you know – it’s now about how, when, where and why you do what you do.

CORE COACHING QUALITY 2

The name of the game is

livingsuccess.

• Having a set of rules and standards that guide the direction of your life, the decisions you make and the destiny of your dreams…everyday.

CORE COACHING QUALITY 3

Change is

critical

• But – you need to accept that everyone is changing – the real challenge is to accelerate your rate of change faster than your opposition.

CORE COACHING QUALITY 4

All change is personal - all real change

must be made at an

individual level

• So in the end change comes down to your ability to engage the hearts and minds of everyone in your team.

CORE COACHING QUALITY 5

The difference between good

and great is simple: it’s

about doing more – more

often.

• Most people do the minimum standard – the great ones do more than they are asked – they challenge themselves to improve and get better – they do more than is expected. How can you be great if you do the “average” – being great is about doing more than the average. 5

CORE COACHING QUALITY 6

Greatness

means being different –

it means being

unique.

• It means being first. It means taking risks. No one becomes great by being the best copier or best at being someone else: be yourself – back yourself.

CORE COACHING QUALITY 7

And………conflict is inevitable. Learn

to thrive in conflict. Learn to fight hard (but fair) for what you

believe in.

• All the greatest people in history have had to face conflict and challenge (and even ridicule and resentment) when they decided to stand up for what they believed in.

CORE COACHING QUALITY 8

Understand who you are –

who you really are – and be happy

being you.

• You can not be successful being someone else, living someone else’s biography or following someone else’s mantra. Be yourself – back yourself.

8

CORE COACHING QUALITY 9

Make tough choices

every day – and stick to

them.

• No leader who has been successful is known for being a quiet, uncertain person who can’t make decisions. Decision making is a core quality of great leadership and a fundamental aspect of greatness.

CORE COACHING QUALITY 10

Continuous improvement

is

everything.

• It is not about winning once - it is about continually challenging, changing, learning, evolving and improving so that you are always striving to be better.
