Jackson will be joining us a little 11 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:40,360 bit later before we get started, before we go into subject. I wanted to talk to you about 12 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:46,480 the power of delegation. It's always important for everyone to have in place any type of 13 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:52,040 fallbacks in case any unforeseen situations may come up. And this is something that we 14 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:59,160 are 100% here, prepared to do. So I'll be kicking off today's podcast and I hope you 15 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:06,800 guys enjoy it. I am an executive at First Class Business. Today, I have the pleasure 16 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:16,080 to be with a wonderful woman. She is an amazing, amazing coach. Her name is Alyssa Joshua. 17 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:22,600 She is an executive coach working with entrepreneurs, creatives, and business leaders to create 18 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:30,160 lives, teams, and companies that go beyond performance. So let's welcome her in. 19 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,840 Hi, I may have a question for you. 20 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,520 Great, thank you so much. 21 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,320 I'm glad, I'm glad. Would you mind telling us a little bit regarding your background 22 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,640 as a coach before we start with some of the questions? 23 00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:49,560 Yes, I've been a coach for five years. I started coaching as a coachee and that's what got 24 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,280 me into coaching and looked a little bit at my background and the kinds of jobs that I 25 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,840 had been doing and realized, oh, this is something I want to share with others because I really 26 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,000 saw how coaching was impactful in my life. So I've worked in the restaurant industry 27 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,480 and tech startup and I, for the last 18 months, was coaching at the tech company, coaching 28 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,480 all different levels of leaders and different departments within the organization, which 29 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,560 was a lot of fun and I also have a private coaching practice. So anything I can do to 30 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,920 get coaching to more people is fine by me. 31 00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:28,080 Yeah, I've been coaching as, I've done some personal coaching myself and it's transcendent. 32 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:34,440 It definitely takes you to a different place. With that, can you please share your vision 33 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,440 with us? 34 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:42,280 Yeah, so for me, my vision is really to bring coaching to as many people as possible because 35 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,600 as you said, coaching is transcendent. I saw what coaching was doing in my life, how it 36 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,960 was changing relationships, how it was changing the way I showed up at work, how I showed 37 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,720 up for my clients, all different things and I really love the ripple effect that coaching 38 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,860 has because your family, your friends, your colleagues, they'll see the changes that you're 39 00:03:59,860 --> 00:04:04,000 making through coaching and so my vision really is to have as many people as possible 40 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,640 be able to take advantage of coaching and really see those changes in their own life. 41 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,880 That's amazing. Yeah, coaching definitely brings you to a whole different level and 42 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:23,360 it provides such an amazing feeling for a person to be able to be led and be guided to 43 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,880 understand better like what situation they may be in and what else they could improve 44 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:28,880 in their lives. 45 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,400 Yeah, and you know, it's really neat to be able to walk next to someone as they're going 46 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,000 through whatever they're going through or to have someone say that thing that we've 47 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,720 been working on for the last three months, it's live or it's come to fruition or I got 48 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,240 the promotion, whatever it is, and to celebrate with people, it's just, it's awesome. I love 49 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,560 it. 50 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,240 That's another thing, accountability. That gives you, you have to be accountable for 51 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:59,240 everything you do and that is something that people may find sometimes overwhelming but 52 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,320 it's so nice to have someone there to talk about your victories, your failures and to 53 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,120 feel good about it at the end of the day. 54 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,720 Right. And you know, I think about accountability too. Sometimes it feels stressful because 55 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,080 it's like, oh, I actually have to, so to speak, get that thing done. But if it's important 56 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,040 to you and the person you're talking to is someone you love, then out of that love, you 57 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,520 want to create that accountability with them because seeing them accomplish their dream, 58 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,160 their vision, their next step, whatever it is, however big or small is what it's about. 59 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,840 Like that's really me loving you and not letting you off the hook and saying, hey, you said 60 00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:38,440 you were going to do that thing and it was important to you, so let's make it happen. 61 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,680 Yeah. Yeah. So with that, what's your vision for your clients? 62 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,920 Oh my gosh, that they would accomplish their dreams. But I'll take a step back because 63 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,880 for me, when I first started coaching, it was because I couldn't even answer the question 64 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,440 about what my dream was, like what my dream job was, what my dreams for my life were. 65 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:04,800 So being able to work with clients to help them even get there, suss that out, that is 66 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,960 such a huge first step of creating a safe space where they can dream because not everybody 67 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:15,680 has that. And sometimes if your dreams, let's say, don't fit with what your family believes 68 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,240 you should be doing or what you grew up thinking you had to do, it can be hard to say those 69 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:27,520 things out loud. So for my clients to be able to say what their dreams are and then be able 70 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,560 to achieve them, that's really my vision for my clients, that they're living a life that 71 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,000 they love and that they're achieving the big steps, the small steps and moving themselves 72 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,360 in that direction. I mean, yeah, that feeling has to be great 73 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:49,040 when people accomplish what they set out to be. I was just wondering, like, how does that 74 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,040 also feel on the coaching perspective? Is that also gets you pumped up? 75 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,560 Yes, I think it's awesome. I'm like, you did all the work, you know, because I'm walking 76 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:03,480 beside them. But I had a client who had been working on a book for a while and we worked, 77 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,280 I think if I'm remembering correctly, he told me 10 years and we coached together for about 78 00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:11,840 three months and his book is now live. So, you know, I see the LinkedIn post and he messages 79 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:17,320 me and he's like, I sold my first book, like, that's amazing. I love celebrating those kinds 80 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:22,860 of things with people because it just, it feeds them and it means that they can do different 81 00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:26,080 things with their family or show up differently at work or change a relationship that they 82 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,960 didn't think was changeable. That's so cool. I love it. It's my favorite part of coaching 83 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,400 is when my clients call me and tell me a win that they've had. 84 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,760 Yeah. So, one of the important things in mindset for me is also celebration because it has 85 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:46,600 to be, it has to be an important part. Once you are able to overcome that goal that you 86 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:52,680 set yourself, it's important to also celebrate that. What are your thoughts on that celebration? 87 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,240 How should a person celebrate those victories? 88 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,960 Well, first off, I love that you brought that up, Jaime, because I think that when you are 89 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,360 a vision person and especially if you are type A like me, you can get caught up in the 90 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:12,520 final product and forget to celebrate along the way. So, not only is it important to celebrate 91 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:18,120 the final accomplishment, but also the progress that you're making because, you know, if you're, 92 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,960 let's say you're paying off debt, if you've paid off a quarter of it, that's a celebration. 93 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,320 If you've paid off a half of it, that's a celebration. So, always remembering to celebrate 94 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,920 along the way, I think is huge and also makes it easier to track the progress that you're 95 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:37,320 making because sometimes that goal can seem really far down the road, but every step is 96 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,760 moving you forward. So, celebrating along the way is huge. Oftentimes, I'll stop a client 97 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,320 like, okay, what are we celebrating today? Before we get into commitments or strategy 98 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,600 or what's getting in your way right now, let's just talk about what it is we're celebrating 99 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,440 because without that, why are we doing all of this stuff? It also helps with that mindset 100 00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:01,440 of, you know, I'll be happy when, like when I get there, we want to be enjoying it throughout 101 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:08,560 the whole time. So, celebrate early, celebrate often and, you know, sometimes it's just about 102 00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:13,680 celebrating, I'm here on this call today and that's enough and that's okay too because 103 00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:17,720 sometimes that just getting up is a celebration, right? Like it was a hard to get out of bed 104 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,440 this morning, but I did it. So, not only should you, but do it a lot, a lot, a lot. 105 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:29,760 Yeah, that's something that I constantly do and I think even though it may be small steps 106 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:36,760 or small things that we do, we have to take that value and provide that celebration space 107 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:43,440 for everyone. Right, and your point about the small steps, everything is small steps. 108 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,960 Like when I'm talking to clients, I'll use the analogy of a staircase a lot of times 109 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,560 because if you're at the bottom and you're looking way up at the top, it does not seem 110 00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:56,640 possible, but you can definitely step up a single step and you can definitely take the 111 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,160 next step. So, it also helps keep everything in perspective that we're not trying to do 112 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,400 the thousand things that are going to get us there. We're getting just the one next thing 113 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,440 and that also takes a lot of the overwhelm away because most of us can do the one next 114 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,640 thing that takes 15 minutes, right? 115 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:19,240 Yep. So, here's a curious question. What does it mean to unleash your fire? 116 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:24,520 Well, and I talk about that on my website and that's like a little bit of my branding 117 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:30,360 for people who don't necessarily know me, but what it means to unleash your fire, what 118 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:39,120 I think is oftentimes I have myself and I've seen with clients held back on my truly authentic 119 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:49,240 self because it might make other people uncomfortable or goodness, it might make other people feel 120 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,320 any given way and I have to remind myself, look, it's not, their feelings are not my 121 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,840 responsibility as long as I'm in integrity and being kind, but what I want people to 122 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,720 be able to do is just like open the floodgates on the things that are important to them. 123 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:08,400 So, it starts with a spark, which is that vision. What's my vision? And then, great, 124 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,840 what are we doing to get there? And then when you get there, great, what's next? It's basically 125 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,640 just like this growing, you know, because the fire starts small and it spreads quickly, 126 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,920 but it's this ability to really have your vision in place and then grow with it and 127 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:26,200 grow into it because we don't want to play small and fire does not play small, right? 128 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,720 It's big and it's hot and it just keeps moving. 129 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:36,360 Yeah, definitely. Wow. That's something, definitely. 130 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:42,960 Because following, so, yeah, I've met a lot of coaches in my life. I haven't had a good 131 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:51,200 life or a big coach, but I've experienced some really bad coaches in my life as well 132 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:56,160 as some really good ones that have shaped me into what I am today and I am thankful for 133 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:02,680 that. What separates a good coach from a bad coach? 134 00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:10,160 Well, let me just say what I, in my experience, has made a good coach for me. My experience, 135 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:16,080 and I always tell my clients, too, I have a coach, I have many people in my circle. I 136 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,880 recently heard Rich Lytvin say, if you can do it by yourself, it's not a big enough vision, 137 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,320 right? And so I fully believe in the power of the team effort of people supporting you. 138 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:32,640 But for me, what makes a good coach is someone who challenges with love, like we talked about 139 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,480 earlier, right? Like, hey, I know you're having a rough time today, but I care more about your 140 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,920 vision maybe than you even do right now. And so I am going to help you get there. That's 141 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:47,920 one, having empathy and being authentic. Like sometimes as a coach, you have to say the hard 142 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:53,240 thing or the thing that is going to kind of hit somebody right here and let them sit in it and 143 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:58,160 have the space and it is okay because you've built that trust. And I think having that basis of 144 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:03,520 trust and knowing that the coach is for you, for me is what makes a really great coach. 145 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:10,160 Yeah, I think that chemistry and that relationship that has to develop specifically with a person 146 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:20,480 that is guiding you is so, so, so important. We have a question here from Mr. Jackson, which is 147 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:29,760 he is now here. He's asking, what are some small steps that you are taking to move to your next 148 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:36,320 level? For me, I am. Hey guys, I was just going to do a part real quick. I was actually asking 149 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,120 that to the audience. I mean, I was enjoying this. I was sitting back and watching you guys. I'm 150 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,680 like, this is great. Jaime is doing amazing. Alyssa is throwing down the bombs, the value 151 00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:50,320 bombs. And I was like, let me just type some value bombs out there while you're going. So, 152 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:56,640 you guys keep going. I'll step aside. Awesome. I want to know when the, well, now Jackson, 153 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,720 I want to know in the comments, what small steps is everyone taking to move themselves to the next 154 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:06,400 level? And I think remembering that a small step is a step. So let's not think like, oh, 155 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:12,160 I'm only doing this thing. No, if you are taking a step, again, let's celebrate that because it's 156 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,040 hard to do. You know that that was a small mind taking a small step, right? When we, when we'd 157 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:23,520 belittle ourselves or talk down about the action, right? So small steps, right? I'll give you one. 158 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:28,960 Jaime, since you put me on the spot, how about a big step for Jaime on having him run Vision 159 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:34,720 Pro's live last minute so I could fight traffic and get back here? That is absolutely amazing. I 160 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:40,240 was like, what, what a great opportunity, you know, to have this happen, to have Alyssa come on, 161 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,480 Alyssa being an executive coach for Jaime, soon to be established. I don't know if you'll talk 162 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:51,520 about that or not yet. Oh man. So Alyssa is actually going to be an executive coach, most likely for 163 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:57,280 Jaime. We're going to do a little bit of evaluation on who our team is, is ready for that, who our 164 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:03,440 team is ready to maximize the value of that and, and really allow her to unleash her fire as a coach 165 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,720 with him so that he can or, or Camila can unleash hers. Those are the two that I'm most considering 166 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:13,840 right now. But so here we go. And I'm stuck in traffic and I'm like, you know what, this is 167 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:19,520 the perfect time to delegate, right? And to really showcase the power of delegation, bring your team 168 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:24,800 forward, you know, empower them, let them jump in and do this. So I needed to do, I needed to 169 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,360 communicate with Jaime about that. We'll talk about that in just a minute, probably. But I said, 170 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,240 Jaime, who do we have on deck? Cause I thought it was either Alyssa or Susan. I didn't know which. 171 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,960 And he said, listen, I was like, okay, great, I'm going to call Alyssa up and let her know 172 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,840 what's going on and let her know that he's going to start the new process. Cause it wouldn't be 173 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:50,560 respectful to either party to delegate one side of the experience, right? You got it. You got to 174 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,080 be able to delegate both. You got to let people know what's going on. Ideally, we would let the 175 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:59,440 audience know as well. But that's part of the fireworks show, right? That's part of the income 176 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,920 in. He can help the audience see that and they'll just go, you know what, they don't need Jackson. 177 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,960 Maybe we like Jaime better than Jackson on this, right? This is an opportunity. And what it comes 178 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:15,440 down to is my brand is not Jackson class business or vision pros Jackson live. Like, you know, 179 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:22,320 it's vision pros live and it's first class business. And if we can't learn to set ourselves aside, 180 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,400 if we have to be the center of attention, what are we doing? Like we're going to rope ourselves in 181 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,680 to the degree that I'm scaling these companies. It would be different. It's different from my 182 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:36,160 brand personally. I have to show up on stage when it's Jackson Callum, you know, wrote the book 183 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:43,120 type thing. But when it comes to a bigger brand, a brand that goes beyond the singular individual, 184 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,040 that's where it's super important to be able to delegate and empower. So I'm going to get out of 185 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:53,120 the way a little bit more. But Alyssa is one of the people who I know that does an excellent job of 186 00:16:53,120 --> 00:17:00,160 helping executives establish themselves as executives. And I would say that delegation is one of the 187 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,200 most important roles to being an effective executive, according to Peter Drucker, at least, 188 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:11,280 Dr. Peter Drucker on that topic. Alyssa, I've learned a lot from you in regards to this reality. 189 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,640 What would you add? What do you do to help your executives know how to better delegate? 190 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,880 You know, it's a lot of it's a lot of asking questions, because a lot of times when we're not 191 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:29,040 interested in delegating, it's because we're fearful of the result. And we think and I use we 192 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,760 because it's kind of an all of us thing, right? We think that if I delegate this, it won't get 193 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:39,200 done as well or the way I want it to. But you know, then I'm asking, well, why did you hire this 194 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:44,160 person if you don't trust them with that? Why did you hire this person if you don't think they're 195 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:50,080 going to do a good enough job? So it's really kind of challenging the thinking around why I would or 196 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,800 wouldn't delegate. And like I said, you on the call today, Jackson, like today, you got to delegate 197 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,560 and then we get to bring something totally different to the audience, which is actually really cool. 198 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:04,160 So it's fun to roll with it. And so really for me, what are you afraid of if you delegate? 199 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:16,560 Absolutely. So absolutely. And Cynthia's on our team. She you know her well. That's our our head 200 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,360 designer. And we love what you're what you're contributing there, Cynthia. I'm glad you enjoy 201 00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:26,880 working with us as much as we do. And it's it's cool to see her unleash the designs that you have, 202 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:32,640 you know, for for your website and things like that. So let's talk about your opportunity to 203 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,360 delegate that and mine as well. Right here, we had a design team building a landing page. And 204 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:44,880 yes, I can try to do it myself. You know, yes, you can try to, you know, to make it happen on your own, 205 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:50,320 or you know, you can also guide the team, you can scream at a team, right, and tell them what to do. 206 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:55,360 You can demand people do things a certain way, you can box people in there's so many ways you 207 00:18:55,360 --> 00:19:02,480 can go about that process. What was that process like for you, delegating design to a new team member 208 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,760 who doesn't speak English as a first language, and in fact, has a translator work with her 209 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,800 for this, what would you learn and what would you enjoy about the process? 210 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,200 I personally, which this is very funny for me to say out loud, but I enjoyed the letting go. 211 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:26,320 Because it's something that if I would do it myself, it would look fine, but it wouldn't look great. 212 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:32,320 So as I started seeing these designs, and getting to say like, Oh my gosh, I feel fancy because of 213 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:38,800 the work that everyone's doing like that was nice. But I think too, it was really a great exercise in 214 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:44,240 that trust for me to say, you've seen my branding, you've talked to me, you've seen what I do have, 215 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,800 you understand where I'm trying to go. And I'm just going to let you roll with it and try to 216 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:54,720 trust your expertise. And I have, I don't even want to say I have not been disappointed. That's 217 00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:01,040 so just like awful to the process. I've been so thrilled with everything. It's been so much fun 218 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:06,480 to see. And when I have questions, or I say like, Hey, can we tweak something? We can, but those are 219 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:12,240 so simple, because we're, if we're not 100% of the way there, we're 99% of the way there. And I just 220 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,920 get to see something that I love every single time. So I have found it to be freeing and also 221 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:24,160 super exciting. That's awesome. I'm glad to hear that. We're going to, but we're going to drop the 222 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:31,440 link to in the comments, because while everybody has the opportunity to go after this opportunity, 223 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:37,120 they know they answer these four powerful questions related to unleashing their ability to think 224 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:41,120 bigger, right? And you can be a non executive doing this. But if you're an executive and you're 225 00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:47,600 looking for the opportunity to be coached, then as Alyssa said, it does start with power questions. 226 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:53,520 So I wasn't planning this segue, but let's talk about the four power questions on the page. 227 00:20:54,800 --> 00:21:02,400 Yeah, really, for me, it's about thinking through things that, you know, as a CEO, you're not trying 228 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,200 to take, take your vitamins or like create a morning routine, like you've got those kinds of 229 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,680 things nailed down. So it's really thinking through the things that you likely know about your 230 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,400 business and what's going to hold you back maybe five years from now that you can kind of see 231 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:22,480 happening now. It's about, you know, if, is anyone around you challenging you? Or is everyone around 232 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:28,480 you just like, yeah, you're great CEO, love your ideas. Some, you know, some CEOs love that some 233 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,720 don't really want to be challenged. So I can step in and ask some of those questions that maybe no 234 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,760 one else is asking to help look at things just from a different perspective. And I don't always 235 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:43,440 know someone's business. It's not my job to be an expert in everyone's area, but it is my job to say 236 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,160 like, why, why are you doing it that way? What's worked? What might not work? What are the things 237 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,320 that are going to hold you back? Or is this even going to matter in 10 months? Right? Because 238 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,120 sometimes the things we think that are super important in the moment might have zero impact later 239 00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:02,640 down the line. And that even relates to what you were just asking me, like, if I like design two 240 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:08,000 a little more than design three a month from now, does it matter? Not, it really doesn't. And so can 241 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,160 we focus on the things that are actually important to you that are going to move the needle for you 242 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:18,160 in the things that support your vision? Well said. And these, you know, the visionaries that I've 243 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:23,920 met with and talked to from Jake Larson to Dan Martell, Nicholas Kuzmich, I mean, I've talked 244 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:29,280 to a lot of visionaries who have built very amazing things. And I remember Thomas LeMaguerre, 245 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:34,800 in particular out of Toronto, he talked about the Pareto principle. I believe that's the one that 246 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:40,000 it's called the 80 20 rule. And, you know, cutting out and in the four hour work week, Tim Ferriss 247 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:49,840 also talks about it and how you should cut out the 20% of customers who I'm sorry, the 80%. He said 248 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,320 cut out the 80% of the noise that's happening and the problems that are happening to focus on the 249 00:22:54,320 --> 00:23:01,200 20% of customers that are not causing problems that are advancing the most with their reality. Now, 250 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,680 this applies to almost everything in life cutting out 20% 80% of my activities, perhaps that I'm 251 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:10,240 doing on a daily basis that may not be contributing to my success. You know, it really depends on 252 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,920 where you're at. Thomas took it next degree and he said we're going to we're going to build, I'm 253 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,440 very set up, but something like we're going to build the Pareto's principle for the Pareto's 254 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:24,960 principle. So we're going to go down to the 20%, but immediately cut out 80% of that and focus on 255 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:34,000 the additional 20%. And it was, you know, it's interesting what happens when you when you shift 256 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,680 your focus, you know, on the things that that are again most important for your life. And some people 257 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:45,360 shift all the way down for the one thing. Well, and it's helpful because I mean, I'm guilty of this 258 00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:50,880 in the past week of like, why am I so busy? What what am I actually doing? So I'm filling my time 259 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:57,600 with busyness, but not 20 minutes of focused productive time that will actually move me forward. 260 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:02,720 And realizing that I was doing that and making the switch to say, okay, I said, I'll set the timer, 261 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:08,400 I'll work for 20 minutes and the focus is getting x done versus I checked an email and I and I looked 262 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,760 at LinkedIn and I and I did things in a much more just loose fashion. So I'm filling time, but I'm 263 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,960 not moving myself forward. So in anything, there's a moment of where am I spending my energy? And is 264 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:24,560 it giving me energy and moving me forward or actually taking my energy because I'm not focused on 265 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:31,120 things that are helpful to me right now. Absolutely. With vision, some of the some of the times we're 266 00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:35,760 going to be talking about the hard truth. And when it comes down to the hard truth, 267 00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:43,760 in reality, 96% of us fell within 10 years. And a lot of business owners, they don't know where to 268 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:49,440 turn for executive coaching. They don't know when to turn to coaching. And they don't even know what 269 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,760 it would be like. What if what about team members having executive coaching, which is and how does 270 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,240 that work? Right. So I want to highlight about our relationship. We first started working together 271 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:06,080 and and talking. I believe you had primarily been a coach for more corporate driven programs, 272 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:11,200 where the corporation or the entity had hired you directly. Is that correct? Yes, correct. 273 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:20,240 Okay, awesome. So with that context of that being the case, you've now since then you've 274 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:26,800 started to bring on individual contracts and smaller companies. And I'm going to say it for you. 275 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:32,960 The market has a very limited mindset in terms of coaching. I hear that too often the phrase, 276 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:39,040 I have a coach. Like, that's great. You know, I have a preacher, you know, perhaps, but I also 277 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,960 have a mom and I don't tell my mom, Hey, I have a preacher, don't talk to me, you know, about God. 278 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,120 I'll tell everybody else like you can't talk to me about God. We put these weird walls up to 279 00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:52,480 protect ourselves. When in reality, the people who are most successful life in an executive level, 280 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:59,840 they have many coaches and mentors, right? So what I'm getting at is when it comes to your new 281 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:07,760 opportunity or transition to attract these entrepreneurs and people who maybe don't know 282 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:13,280 how to hire an executive coach, maybe don't know what to expect out of that, right? What type of 283 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:21,120 advice do you have for them? And in fact, you know what, talk to me about who pays for it. When you 284 00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:26,800 go to a corporation, who pays for the coaching and who do they pay for the coaching for? 285 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:33,040 Yeah, it really depends. So like in the situation we were talking about earlier with Jaime, it might 286 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,920 be that first class business in this case engages me to coach people on staff and then they would pay. 287 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:44,640 And someone like me, for example, I just simply pay my coach directly. So sometimes companies, 288 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,320 if they really believe in growing their people and their investing in them, will cover it. And 289 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:54,320 sometimes people just decide for themselves, I'm ready to take myself to the next level. And the 290 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:59,360 thing with coaching oftentimes is, I'll ask the question because people will have a vision. It's 291 00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:04,400 like, okay, well, why haven't you gotten there? Because a lot of times we think we can do it 292 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:11,440 ourselves, except our history shows us that for most of us, that's not the case. So six months 293 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,800 have gone by 12 months, 18 months. And that thing that you're going to get to is still sitting there. 294 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,600 And so having that coach, the coach creates accountability and creates momentum in a way 295 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:27,120 that you can't do on your own. Well said. And it's sometimes hard to swallow that pill, 296 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,800 that you can't do it on your own. But in reality, it's one of the humble pill, 297 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:39,760 has so much power behind it, once you finally do decide to take it in. So there's fantastic 298 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:45,200 opportunities for entrepreneurs to hire you on for their own benefit, but also to look at their 299 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:51,520 team and say, you know what, do I need my team leveled up? And is it possible, getting creative 300 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:57,600 and then get outside the box, is it possible to bring you in as kind of a help me assess 301 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,480 what our needs are and maybe who would qualify for that? Or how do you go about it if you've got, 302 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,720 like I've got like 12 different team members, we talked about maybe bringing two on and looking 303 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,920 at how we're going to do the coaching with them. Why did you come to the conclusion you came to, 304 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:17,920 what does that look like for transparency sake? Yeah, I mean, oftentimes the kinds of things 305 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,080 that I'll ask are like, do you have anyone who's newly managing people? Sometimes that can be 306 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:28,160 someone to coach because as we've seen, being good at a job does not necessarily mean being good at 307 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,720 leading other people. So it could be somebody who's recently moved into a new role or recently 308 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,680 overseeing others. It could be like, hey, we have a great salesperson and we just want to help them 309 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:43,040 take it to the next level. They're doing great, but they can do better because there's a moment in 310 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:48,320 high performance where you kind of hit a roadblock and it's helpful to talk through what is getting 311 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:53,280 in your way because at every level, all of us will find some way to get in our own way because 312 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,840 it's worked for us before and maybe we think it's protecting us or maybe it worked in a different 313 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,400 role or at a different company, it doesn't work now. So having somebody to help suss that out is 314 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:08,000 very helpful. So I'm really talking with a CEO just to ask like, what's going on with your team? 315 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,000 If you have people who are brand new, coaching might be too much for them. Maybe they still just 316 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,240 need to get situated within the organization and kind of figure out their role. Maybe you have 317 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:21,040 somebody who is hungry for the next step and it's like, great, let's coach them over the next six 318 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,120 months so that they are ready for that promotion and you can give them more because you trust that 319 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,240 they're ready to take it on now. So it's really about, like I said, sussing all those different 320 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:35,280 things out and figuring out where it makes sense and could be two people, could be 10 people. It 321 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:42,880 just really depends on who needs it at the moment. I love that. Yeah, I love it. That's great. So 322 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,160 we, the assessment comes on a personalized basis and I, you know, I'm just going to point out the 323 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:53,920 obvious right here. That assessment adjusts and changes and pivots based on the needs that Alyssa 324 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:59,280 obviously uncovers as a coach, right? Just like any business, you know, so many people want a corner 325 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:05,680 their marketing company or their service provider or their, their, I don't know, executive assistant, 326 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,080 the virtual assistant into doing the one thing that they've planned out, but they don't realize 327 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:15,280 with time that wait a second, this puzzle piece no longer fits the puzzle because the puzzle has 328 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:20,720 changed so much. And there's new diversification involved variables that have come up that the 329 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:25,520 dynamically change what we should be focused on. And that's why it's so important to have somebody 330 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:32,400 like Jaime said, right? This is, we want to coach who knows us well enough and is deeply integrated 331 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:38,240 enough to move beyond general advice, general advice, because it's general results. Welcome to 332 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:43,600 the 96% of failures. Jaime, I'd love to hear what do you got, man? Throw down if you want to. 333 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:50,960 No, no, I mean, I think I'm a very coachable person, which is, which is kind of an advantage 334 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:58,800 to people because you also need that in a client is not simply just having a person there, but it 335 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:05,360 also has to be a person that is willing to receive whatever comes their way and is willing to take 336 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:11,920 that with the utmost and looking in a positive way on everything that is brought to the table. 337 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:16,640 So I think that's, that's also a very important part of coaching itself. 338 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:26,640 I love that Jaime. Yeah. I mean, I'm 100% coachable. 100%. And I can't speak for every coach, but it's 339 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:32,320 my like imagination that every coach has come up against somebody where you're on that like 340 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:38,640 discovery call moment and wondering why, why are you like it doesn't seem like you want to be coached. 341 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:45,440 Why are you here and kind of sussing that out because it seems like there's a lot of justifications. 342 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,920 Maybe there's some excuses. There's a lot of reasons, but we're here to get rid of all of that 343 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,560 and move you forward. So do you actually want to do that? Or are you really just dedicated to 344 00:31:55,280 --> 00:32:01,440 doing it the way you think you want to do it? And even as a coach, I, I show up sometimes and I'm 345 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:07,120 like, Oh, I'm really struggling with this thing. And I can only get myself so far. So even I have 346 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:12,400 to be coachable. Yeah, I love that. Okay, so let's talk about that head on. So we got people in the 347 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:18,240 audience listening right now. I bet somebody hears this someday, if not today, and thinks, Oh man, 348 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:26,560 am I, am I too sensitive or, or why, why does Alyssa have to respond that way and tell me 349 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:31,040 that brutal hard truth? Does she not like me? Is this judgment that she's passing on me? Is she 350 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:35,360 telling me I'm not good at what I do or that I'm never going to measure up, you know, if that 351 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:40,960 defensiveness that exists, right? Somebody's saying those things, Alyssa, I mean, broaden our minds. 352 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,520 Oh my gosh, why are you, why are you direct with people? I know that makes my heart hurt. Like, 353 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:54,640 I, I never, I would never want a client like coaching is like it, so many things. It has to 354 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,920 be such a safe space for the person to be there and know that in the relationship that I've built 355 00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:04,960 with them that there is trust there and that I'm only challenging them, challenging them out of love. 356 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:10,240 And because of the vision that they have told me is important to them. And to really be able to say, 357 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,240 like, you said this was important. So if it's important to you, it's now important to me. And 358 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:19,280 maybe at times more important to me than it is to you. And so if you want to get there, I have to 359 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:26,720 ask this question or say this thing that you maybe don't want to hear. But if not, I'm doing my client 360 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:33,680 a disservice. Wow. All right, so we just saw why Jackson's not a coach. And why Alyssa is. 361 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:42,240 I'm not a coach. The diplomacy utilized, right? And that, and that softening of the process in 362 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:49,200 order to maintain the open space of trust, right? That matters. And I speak from that, 363 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:55,520 from the hard reality of entrepreneurship and having to feel like you, you got to be the coach, 364 00:33:55,520 --> 00:34:00,800 you know, and the, and the entrepreneur to wearing multiple hats and different types of startups, 365 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:06,560 offending people that you didn't mean to offend. You know, there's, there's just so much to learn 366 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:11,200 when it comes to dynamic relationships. And that's again, why it's so important to have somebody 367 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:16,400 like you involved where you can reach people with more patience, perhaps, or, or more, 368 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:25,040 what was a good word, not necessarily delicately, but you're very prudent. And how you handled that 369 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:30,080 objection that I threw out there or that reality that people may feel. And it is important. And 370 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,440 I've seen that. I've seen you nurture people and take care of people, but I also see you, 371 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:42,480 your, your relentlessness of helping people unleash that fire and not lose sight of it. And that's, 372 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:47,200 again, that's what makes a great coach is, you know, in my opinion, I look at the rim of the 373 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:53,920 Titans. I just watched that with my kiddos. Nice. And that, that dude was, whoa, like, 374 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:58,160 relentless as a coach. I'm sitting there trying not to cry. I watched the movie. I'm like, I love 375 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:04,720 this. Why can't we be like this anymore? Like he cares if he loves it, but here you come and you 376 00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:11,920 provide this, this coaching has coaching shifted for you over the last 10 years at all. And, and 377 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:17,360 how people receive coaching. Have you noticed any changes with that? Or is there a different 378 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,640 change to coaching styles with the whole quiet quitting thing that's going on? 379 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,720 Well, yeah. For me, I mean, I've changed coaching. When I first started coaching, I felt like I had 380 00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:31,520 to be an expert in everybody's thing. And then, you know, I had to really shift my mindset and 381 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,600 understand, well, I'm not, I'm not a consultant. I am a coach. So I don't have to be that expert. 382 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:41,600 It's really about asking the questions. So for me, that's how I've shifted. And then as I continue 383 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:48,480 to change who I'm coaching. So when I was first starting out and just coaching everyone, 384 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,800 and then the kinds of questions that are asked when I shift to coaching people who are like 385 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,560 managers or directors, and then the kinds of questions that people that I'm asking when I'm 386 00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:02,160 coaching a VP or C-suite person, because they're dealing with different things. So I've certainly 387 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:08,080 changed my coaching over time to address just the different realities of the types of people I 388 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:13,360 coach and the different spaces that they're in. Quiet quitting is interesting because there's, 389 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:18,480 for me, a lot of questions around like, could you stay? What would it look like if you chose to stay? 390 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:24,000 And can we shift some of the realities about where you are before you move on to something else? 391 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:29,200 Because sometimes it's about the fact that you're in an environment that's not a cultural fit for 392 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,200 you or not the right fit for your vision. And sometimes it's simply the way you're viewing 393 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:38,080 the situation is creating the reality that you're living in. So it's also assessing those two things 394 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:43,520 against each other and deciding, do you want to move on or do we simply want to make some changes 395 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:48,720 here? And what would it look like if you got that promotion or if your attitude and mindset shifted 396 00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:55,200 about being there? So it's very individually specific to what each person is doing. And 397 00:36:55,200 --> 00:37:01,360 sometimes even on the other side, it's like, hey, CEO, are you okay with me coaching somebody out 398 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,000 if I get there? Because sometimes people really have gotten to a point where they're ready to move 399 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:11,760 on. So understanding from that side, depending on who I'm talking to, what makes sense for them. 400 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:17,840 And of course, under confidentiality, but sometimes it's time for someone to move on. 401 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:24,000 So it's really assessing that what's true for them. Nice. And I'll go ahead. Go ahead, Jaime. 402 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:32,240 So here's a question that is very, very cool from the four part questions that you're asking. So 403 00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:38,960 what do you wish the people around you would ask you? So that's also very powerful and very, 404 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:46,000 very into what I believe coaching has to be, which is right, ask the right questions to the 405 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:52,560 right people. So I want for you to give us a little bit more concept of how you came to 406 00:37:53,680 --> 00:38:00,320 have this question as a power question. Yes, that's a great question, Jaime. And so this is 407 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:06,960 a great question for CEOs because oftentimes you've worked yourself up to the top and the people 408 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:13,120 around you aren't necessarily challenging your thinking, or you don't want them to. And so 409 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:18,400 being able to say, if you have not created an environment where people can ask you the questions, 410 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,400 what do you wish they were asking you? And then if you're not comfortable with people around you 411 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:27,440 asking those questions, why not? And it's really meant to just open up the conversation around, 412 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:33,840 hey, what's going on about what's working and not working? Because as a CEO, you usually have a very 413 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:40,080 solid 30,000 foot view. You often, like I'm always very fascinated by the CEO mindset because they 414 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,320 see so many different trends and things that are going on that's like, okay, so I'm telling you 415 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:49,520 trends and you were familiar with three or five of these already, even without talking to people. 416 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,680 So what do you want to be asking? And what do you know is working and not working that you haven't 417 00:38:53,680 --> 00:39:00,400 verbalized yet? Because usually we know before we know. Yes, that is awesome. I'm glad you brought 418 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:06,960 that up, Jaime. It's always fun to know the why behind the why. Or the why behind the questions 419 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,360 that exist and the psychology behind it. I think it's helpful too. It's empowering. Right? Once you 420 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,000 know the direction, the context of a question, it can make it easier to have your own answer 421 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:22,560 that's a little bit more authentic and in line. I won't go into what led me to go that route. But 422 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:35,360 Alyssa, there was a topic that I was excited to ask you about in relation to the CEOs that you 423 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:42,160 coach and the people that you may want to be called specifically, let's talk about the stories. 424 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:49,280 Some of the transformation stories that you've had was people that you've coached for the years and 425 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:56,880 you've coached Alyssa with the folks, people that are hearing this and to thinking, oh, she wants 426 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:02,240 to work with world leaders who are guiding billions of people. Right? But going back to 427 00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:08,320 a more general field, who have you helped and what type of success that came out of that? 428 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:15,040 Yeah. Well, coaching for this tech startup was actually a really great opportunity because I 429 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:21,520 coach people of ages from 25 to 55. I don't know everyone's age, but a wide range there 430 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:25,600 and coach people at all levels in the organization. So it was some people who were, 431 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:30,960 like this was their first job out of college, up to people who were VP and C-suite. And what's, 432 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:36,720 I think, is very interesting about coaching in general is that we are all humans. And so it would 433 00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:41,760 be, I could be coaching one month and go, my goodness, everyone I'm coaching this month is 434 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:47,680 struggling with anxiety or everyone this month is struggling with, they don't know how to get to 435 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:52,560 the next level in their career or they're having some kind of relationship thing. So it's really 436 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:58,320 fascinating to me sometimes that male, female, different ages, different job types, 437 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:03,360 industries, all the things as humans, we deal with a lot of the same things. We're telling 438 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:09,200 ourselves stories. We're afraid of the answer we might get. So instead, we just do nothing. 439 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:14,160 We're trying to people please instead of doing the things that we kind of know to do or where we're 440 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:20,160 saying yes or where we're saying no. So it's really interesting, but I've coached people who 441 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:25,760 are wanting to move from one level to the next in their job. I've coached people who have a dream, 442 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:31,920 I have a couple of clients who are actors in various ways. And so one client left corporate to do 443 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,000 voiceover and it's like, great, like what's the one next thing you want to do to get there? And so 444 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,920 she's now got a home studio and building things out to be able to bring that dream to fruition. So 445 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:50,320 to me, anyone who is living their dream is creating a ripple effect to those around them because 446 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:56,560 they're living with more joy and more happiness. And that's for me why I coach. And so that can 447 00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:04,160 happen for anyone. Awesome. I'm going to pull this ticker up so that we've got the options to 448 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:12,960 discuss. This has a lot to do with vision and vision for the people who are listening right now. 449 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:17,600 I've got a bunch of leading questions on here. Ones that I don't think they need you to answer, 450 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:23,680 Alissa, but ones that I want to talk about. So the beginning question being, should I wait to be 451 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:33,600 coached until my boss will pay for it? And whose responsibility is it for me to get coaching? And 452 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,840 what can I expect? This is the more question that I really want to dive into, but what can I expect 453 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:45,680 for my life by being coachable? Now, we've met people, we've seen people pass through time. We've 454 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:51,600 been around for more than that. We're not new to this gig. And I have a feeling there's people 455 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:58,480 that you've seen come along that did not take coaching seriously and did not feel the need 456 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:04,640 to invest in a coach. And you've seen some of the outcomes, some of the directions, their lives may 457 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,480 have gone. I'm not talking about people who just wouldn't buy, but I'm talking about people who 458 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,880 literally didn't get coaching from anybody. They were going to turn their nose up at everybody 459 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:18,880 and try to handle it by themselves. How does that affect you? And what advice would you give to 460 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:24,000 others who are on the fence trying to figure this out? What can they expect out of it? Feel free to 461 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:30,000 monologue for a bit. Yeah, I mean, directly, it doesn't affect me other than it's a bummer for 462 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:35,360 them because what I have learned though is I can't want something for someone else more than they 463 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:40,880 want it for themselves. And that's where as a coach that some of that discernment comes in, 464 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:45,840 because if I want it more than I'm dragging someone along, and that's not a good experience for 465 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:52,320 either of us. But if you're showing up excited about what can I learn and where can I grow, 466 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:58,560 I think it's always worthwhile because it can be something in literally any category of life. I 467 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:03,280 don't love the relationship I have with my brother. I'd like for it to be different. Great, we can 468 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:08,320 work on that. I want to switch jobs. Great, we can work on that. So coaching can really help you 469 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:14,240 positively impact any area in your life that you want to shift. And sometimes it's really just 470 00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:20,800 those micro shifts. If you're like, I'm 80% of the way there, I just want to get the next 20%, 471 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:27,280 we can do that. And if you wait, you might be in the same place you are a year from now. So one of 472 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:33,440 the things that I always want to ask my clients is like, what's the cost of waiting? What's the cost 473 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:38,480 of not moving yourself forward in these areas? Because there are always costs associated on 474 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:44,160 both sides. And sometimes people aren't ready for the things that will happen if they do coach, 475 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:50,400 and that's okay too. But you also want to understand if you wait six months, how is that going to impact 476 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:56,560 your finances or your family or whatever it is? So I try to work with clients, even in like the 477 00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,560 discovery phase, to make sure they understand both sides of the coin, depending on what they 478 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,000 decide to do. But ultimately, it's up to them and where they want to take their life. 479 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:11,280 I love it. I appreciate that. And as final counsel, for everybody listening in, you have 480 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:16,560 amazing opportunity to hire one of the best executive coaches that I know. I've been honored to 481 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:21,280 work with Alyssa for almost a year now. We've built a phenomenal friendship in the process. And 482 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:26,800 that's also why we're moving forward with her as an executive coach for our brand. So Alyssa, 483 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:31,040 we're grateful to have you here today. All of you visionaries out there who are listening to this, 484 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:37,680 y'all need a coach. Y'all need more than one coach. I don't know which coaches you need. 485 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:42,240 That's I can't do that without assessing it. But you have somebody phenomenal in front of you. 486 00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:47,520 That's Alyssa Josh, who you can go to her link, answer her questions. I'm sure you can reach out 487 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:52,640 to her on LinkedIn or Facebook. I doubt she bites. I bet she's ready to help you assess. 488 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:58,480 Is this the right type of coaching for you or not? And just like us, you know, we're big on the 489 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:03,040 concept of we do what's best for those that we serve. I've seen the same be true for Alyssa. 490 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:07,520 She's got so many in front of her who needs help beyond what she does. And she's really good about 491 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,360 guiding people that direction and saying, Hey, maybe you should work with Jackson or Hey, maybe 492 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:18,880 you should go work on this first. And and that that type of caliber of coach and professional 493 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:24,000 service provider is what we're constantly looking for. So Alyssa, thanks for being awesome with 494 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,760 your principles. Thanks for driving your business forward the way that you do. And thanks for being 495 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,960 a Vision Pro. Thank you. Thanks for having me, Jackson and Jaime. It was a pleasure.

I got to stop and make 497 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:44,000 this go a little bit longer just to praise you because I know it's not in your last minute and 498 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:49,760 you just showed up and crushed it, dude.
