Conversations With Coaches

In this recurring series, Kevin explores some of the brightest ideas and insightful lessons that his guests have shared with him on the podcast, and why they’ve continued to inspire him ever since.

This is another quote from the whiteboard, similar to others I’ve shared here before, but worth highlighting on its own. It’s something that comes up in various ways in so many of my conversations here:“Process saves us from the poverty of our intentions.”

Stephen helps growth-minded business leaders ignite next-level growth through performance coaching, business systems, and technology. He is the CEO of Wellfleet Enterprises, a recent graduate of the Zero to Dangerous Peak performance training program, as well as a mentor and advisor to individuals and organizations. He works with clients to find their purpose and develop a holistic model of success for their lives; career, personal relationships, health & finances. The title of this episode is an analogy from baseball that Stephen tossed into one of his excellent explanations of his coaching methodology, but I think it speaks directly to twin aspects of good coaching...so I figured it would make for a great episode title. :)

List-making has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember…well, sometime after I first learned to write. ;)In my professional life, I often end my day or my week by creating a list that represents all the vital tasks and priorities ahead of me. Not only does it help keep me organized, but it also lets me “lay things down” in a healthy way - you know what they say, “All work and no play…”But a coach I interviewed for the podcast recently tipped me to an ingenious addition to this process…

Rich helps entrepreneurial-minded business owners that are not experiencing the growth, income, or time freedom they expected to discover and develop the 3 fundamentals that will enable them to build the business they originally envisioned. His passion is to help business owners get back on track and in alignment with the energy and passion of their vision. Entrepreneurs wear many hats to start up their businesses. As a business grows the juggling of those roles can cause the owner to "live to work" instead of the business providing the better quality of life they desired. As a result, business owners lose the passion, inspiration, and momentum to grow toward their aspirations. This is where Rich's experience and expertise are of most benefit and impact.

So often in my conversations with coaches, we touch on how much more powerful good questions are than even the best answers.It always reminds me of one of the most foundational elements of good coaching, and really just good living - it’s a different sort of ABC then you find in Glengarry Glen Ross, but no less powerful. ;)

This is a quote from Michael Beckwith that Steve shared on the pod that perfectly encapsulates his own personal journey - as well as the heart of what good coaching is all about. Throughout his 22 years in engineering, Steven served as a trainer to Fortune 500 organizations as well as influencing and guiding change management activities. Steven is an ICF-certified PCC, a TEDx speaker, and a trained Facilitator. Steven specializes in helping quiet leaders use their voice to create impact. As a self-identified introvert myself, I was very eager to chat with Steve - and he did not disappoint. We delved into the forces and events that pushed him into coaching (also covered in his TEDx Talk), discussed many of his core principles, and talked about what his coaching practice looks like today.

Jamie Martin is a Life and Leadership Coach who partners with people who have been going so long they have lost themselves. Working with Jamie, her clients own their power while doing the uncomfortable things they have dreamed of doing. Jamie spent 17 years in technology - with most of it in a state of denial, overwhelm, and exhaustion. She knew it wasn't what she wanted in life, but was in denial of what she wanted to do. She loved the idea of building things for people. The engineer in her wanted to make people's lives better by building great products. However, something was always missing. Our conversation today covers some of the steps on Jamie's journey to the thriving coaching practice she has today. We also spend some time touching on a few fantastic aspects of coaching and servant leadership - intentionality, the various natures of competition, some misplaced notions of professionalism, and so much more. Jamie also spontaneously invents a new word - "incubaking" - that I'm absolutely stealing. :)
