Van Haas is an entrepreneur and a self-diagnosed efficiency addict. Over the past decade, he has helped companies grow aggressively by streamlining processes and maximizing profits. Early on in his family’s business, everything “business” fascinated Van. He graduated from UCSB with a double major in Communication and Economics. Later on, he became a key player in leading a profitable company through accelerated growth. Van founded and launched Accountix to offer small business owners and CEOs an innovative way to tackle commonplace bookkeeping and managerial accounting issues. This is another one of those, "could've gone 5x longer" episodes. Van has a great passion for both the detail-oriented and big-picture sides of running a business. I think that comes through mightily in our chat. :)

Our team has been reading a book recently called Don’t Make Me Think. Its focus is on “usability” in web and mobile design, but the concepts at play are almost universal. Coaches know quite a bit about the power of common sense, don’t they? ;)Here’s one of my favorite bits of the book so far: “If you can make something significantly clearer by making it slightly inconsistent, choose in favor of clarity.”

It feels lately like many lines in life that once seemed clear have become blurred in some way. Personal life and professional life, WFH vs. The Office vs. Hybrid Work. Coaches are keenly aware of this, often in specific ways. Think about the distinctions that are drawn between “coaching” and “consulting” and “therapy” and “mentorship”. But I think that the word “blurred” might not be the right way to describe this.

Try “blended” on for size…let me explain.

He has a real passion for making people and organizations better. His best days are helping others have their best day.

He believes everyone is a person first and a business partner or employee somewhere down the line – if we treat people like people, we can more easily come to good agreements. I absolutely loved having Todd back on the show! We began by discussing the ins and outs of leadership development as technically-skilled people get promoted into larger and more significant leadership roles, and how coaching can really "fill the gaps" in acquiring the skills you need to lead well. From there, we follow the conversation in some wonderful directions - it truly was hard to stop, we were having such a great chat!

This quote has been living on my whiteboard for quite a while now, not only because I find it inspiring, but because I believe the reminder is necessary. “We seldom rise to the level of our expectations, but rather fall to the level of our training.”Beyond the personal - because this is a good message for me to hear often - I think this quote expresses something intrinsic to the value of coaching.
