In this episode of The Daily Coach newsletter in audio form, we explore the power of coachability, releasing artificial pressure, and redefining how we measure progress.

First, the late Bill Campbell, known as the “Trillion Dollar Coach,” reminds us that coachability isn’t just a trait—it’s a mindset. Being open to coaching is not the same as being coachable. True growth begins when we actively seek guidance, remain humble, and create a culture where feedback isn’t feared but welcomed.

Next, performance coach Derek Grant, known as DG Mindset, delivers a powerful message: “Turn off your shot clock.”  In a world obsessed with speed and external timelines, his lesson challenges us to prioritize meaningful progress over artificial deadlines—and to focus less on how fast we’re going and more on the momentum we’re building.

This episode invites us to reimagine coachability—how we learn, grow, and define success in our leadership, within our teams, and in ourselves.
