Kyle Dobbs on Using Principles Over Systems
What is so disempowering for most is when you are so focused on the actual system, and you don't know how to look at things objectively.
When we are so set in our ways and rely heavily on what has been taught to us, we limit our creativity and stop ourselves from finding better ways to help clients feel better and empowered.
Kyle Dobbs is the Founder and Owner of Compound Performance. He was formally a National Director of Services and Education, Training Director, District Manager, Facility Manager, and Coach based out of NYC.
I've worked with clients in all training environments, from the general population to high-level athletes at the professional level. From a leadership perspective, He'd overseen teams and departments ranging from ten to fifteen hundred while also being a national education and hiring director.
More importantly, he is a husband and father. He's been married to his best friend Sarah, and he has two boys, Greyson and Hollis, and 12 puppies named Bowser.
In this episode, Kyle shares how he walks away from something that's not serving him well anymore and takes up the next opportunity that comes his way getting him nearer to where he wants to be. He talks about how he helps clients feel empowered by digging up into the principles, understanding them, and creating his own system and solution that works far better than what he has been taught to do in most training and certifications he got. As for him, sticking to principles allows you to use tools and work around them to find the best strategy to tackle something and build the best solution to help your clients.
"The beauty about principles is, they encompass a lot of different environments and a lot of different realms. And, you know, ironically, my experience with systems is that the people who lean the hardest into the actual systems typically understand those systems the least. They can regurgitate the information to you. But in a real-life environment, they have a hard time applying these things to different contexts." - Kyle Dobbs
