"I'll get a coach once I've figured out my direction."

"I'll get a coach once I've figured out my direction"

I hear this often from really busy people.

No, you won't

I hate to say it, but in my experience, I have rarely seen it happen.

If you are not investing in your growth now, why would you magically start when things get "clearer"?

What if your direction never becomes crystal clear no matter how long you wait?

Why put so much pressure on yourself to have it all figured out before you start?

Coaching isn't about having all the answers.

It's about asking better questions 💪

I started working with a marketing leader who said: 'I just know something needs to change, but I can't put my finger on what.' 

↳ Four sessions in, she has completely shifted how she gives feedback and her team is doing a better job than ever in the past years.

Compare that to the Senior VP who's been "almost ready" to start coaching for eight months. 

↳ He's still researching the perfect coaching methodology while his challenges are piling up. And guess what, he doesn't have suddenly more time to invest into himself.

The real secret is starting where you are.

With a coach you'd like to work with.

With the challenges you are facing today.

With the uncertainty you are already having.

Figure out your direction if you want, but don't use it as an excuse to avoid investing in yourself today.

What's your "someday" project?
