Hey what’s up everybody? This is Karim Amri, welcome to the Coaching Secrets podcast. Today I’m going to take you a couple of years back, when I shifted completely my career and life and the reason behind this podcast.
5 years ago, I was cruising the land with my Hummer H₃, running between dozens of contractions site, while managing hundreds of employees and over 40 Nationality. At that time, I was enjoying a great 6-figure yearly income into my bank account.
Unfortunately, and in parallel I had a blackberry provided by the company, ringing 24/7, hundreds of urgent emails per day, and no singly 100% free day with my family, even during the supposed vacation I had to reply to urgent emails, and attend calls, over a decade, stuck in a position with no growth.
During these years of people management, I learned very well, and mastered what we call : the art of delegation. For me at that time, it was not just removing works from my shoulders, which I can’t deny that it was happening, but it was a way of helping others, discover their true strength and potential, try and experience things .
I was really enjoying doing it and that brought me to the world of Coaching. It was the end of Feb, when my wife finally getting the chance to enrol in a 21 days TOT program, I was the one who’s going to finalize the payment, and, with the person I am, I went there with only one goal, bargaining to the maximum to save some dollars.
I was not really well positioned to get any discount, as it was a field far from the dust, design and piping, where I’ve learned during years how to win a discussion so my last shot was : “What’s gonna be the best offer if we enrol both?”
To my surprise, The offer was so interesting, that I decided to go for an emergency leave, extended it to 21 days, to end up certified as a Professional trainer and start a long journey of Coaching, self-development, and mind exploring, that took me to over 30 Countries meeting some top ranked people in the industry.
This is my Story and this me is Karim Amri Why this podcast ?
Whenever I asked myself, Why I’m doing this , I found the reason getting more and more convincing to me.
We believe that everyone is full of potential, and that Coaches like you and I , are the best partner to help these people unleash it.
To succeed in this mission, coaches need to be: Well equipped, Well established and updated. Unfortunately, this is not usually the case, simply because most of the coaches were just taught the coaching skill and left alone to figure out how to monetize it and build a business around it.
