Sean: That's amazing. So what I'm hearing, number one, you were open to anything. Not a lot of people are like that. People are always thinking about, oh, what about my family? If I stop working, how can I feed them? How can I support my parents? So all of these things are clouding and fogging what they want to explore in life.

And as you mentioned, people usually know in their heart, as with all matters of the heart, you just know it when you're there. When you don't even try, you will never know you got all these fogs in front of you.

You'll never know. Number one, you were open to anything. Number two, when that person suggested to you that you're going to make a good coach, you took it. You immediately took it. Unlike other people, they start with doubts about you. You were like, Yeah, you know what? I'm going to try that.

That's something that I've heard for the first time in all my recordings. This is the first time I've ever heard that. And I hope that you guys tuning in today have gotten that as well, especially if you're in that exploration stage. Maybe you're cooped up in your family business. You don't love what you're doing, but it's what your parents started.

This is how you know, this is how you start with the matter of that heart that you have. You just have to be open to anything. When someone tells you, Hey, I think you can be good at this, accept it, Don't reject it. Don't start with doubt. Love what you said. I'm interested in you one day for people who are tuning in, maybe they're curious. How do they start?

If they want to get coached, how do they know if it's for them? You know, how do I know if coaching is for me if I need a coach? What would you say to those kinds of people who are tuning in? What is it about coaching that makes it so important? And I'm being coached right and I know how important it is. But for those people who are tuned in, what is so important about coaching?

Yewande: Yeah, it can sometimes feel like a luxury. I mean, again, I live and breathe this both in terms of coaching others, but then also having my coach. And I know I know how it's transformed my life, right? And every single new coach that I have does. So I always describe it as if you think about people, people mix it up with different things

So if I think about therapy it is more about delving into your past and trying to unwind all of that. And mentorship is more about like, Oh, someone I see has walked a path that I want to walk. So I want them to tell me about how they did what they did. Consulting or problem-solving is, I have a problem. Tell me the answer. Coaching is so unique because the whole idea of coaching is number one, it's 100% focused on you, right? The coach's agenda.

How many times do we ask people things and they give us their opinion? And while opinions are helpful, to your point, I think you said it beautifully, right? Our vision and our clarity get so clouded by so much outside. Yeah. And so the coach's role differs depending on the style of coaching, but fundamentally it is to help you work through and process what's going on for you so that you can achieve and move forward to achieve the goal that you want.
