"Results through coaching you to discover what the right actions are, and holding you accountable to do those 'right things' consistently."

As a 17-year-old student at Newport Harbor High in Newport Beach, I enjoyed a diverse circle of friends. Some of the kids in the community had their lives planned out. We knew that John Wayne's son Ethan would be an Actor. Other friends would follow in the footsteps of their successful parents and go to Harvard, Yale, UCLA, Stanford, and become Physicians, Attorneys and Business Owners. But I also had friends who were the children of Immigrants. I knew that most of them would not attend College. And while attending college is not a perquisite to success, I had a sense that most of those friends would not achieve the real dreams of their hearts without additional education. I asked myself how to best serve those friends. The answer I came up with was that I would learn the Art of Sales, Practice it, Succeed and then Teach. I chose a very competitive industry, Copiers. As an employee of Royal Business Machines (later Konica), I was privileged to learn from some masterful teachers and Mentors. I applied what they taught me and became the recipient of every award that was available. I also enjoyed a wonderful lifestyle as a result. Sailboat, sports cars, vacations and a great young family. I was also given the opportunity to begin my Coaching career. It established a success pattern of helping business partners find success through the training I was allowed to offer. In the Diamond Industry, as a Manager and then Brand Manager for Ditta Myor, that strategy allowed us to bring a new division to market and achieve profitability in six months from start up. Moving over to the role of Eastern States VP for F-Matic of America I was allowed to firmly establish the value of bringing sales training to our Dealer Network in 16 states of the northeast. As a consequence of gaining a reputation for helping Distribution Partners enjoy increased success which led to increased sales for my company, I was recruited to become the Director of Training for a multi-national manufacturer, National Super Service. Now I was allowed to take my training and mentoring strategies worldwide. The first book I published, Major League Selling was implemented in a training tour with the largest companies in our industry. I reveled in the joy of witnessing students double their incomes while dramatically improving their quality of life by freeing up time to spend with family and friends. While it was very satisfying, I had a dream of coaching a student to $1 million of success. My family told me they wanted to move back to the Western States, and I felt that the time was right to start my own coaching company. I challenged myself to achieve a remarkable start up. With the help of a Mentor, I was able to generate my first $1 Million, in only 30 days. It was liberating to learn that "Success is as easy as we allow it to be, or as difficult as we want to make it." I still hadn't coached a student to achieve the same. The Universe provided me that opportunity when I was recruited into an industry that relied heavily on coaching. My model was "Learn, Do, Succeed, and then Teach. I do not teach principles I've only read about. I only teach that which I've learned, put into practice and yielded success with. During the past 6 years especially, I have witnessed clients acquiring $1M, and more, in as little as 7 months. I still have a desire to help a Client create $1M in 30 days. It's been a great adventure. It has inspired me to write this book. "Just Give Me 5 Minutes" as a Self Coaching tool. I know that not everyone can afford to pay for one on one coaching. This book and the accompanying tools are an answer to making Executive coaching a reality for even starving students or artist's Let me know how it works for you. And as a side note, I still take private clients and corporate assignments. Perhaps we could create some "purposeful play" for your team.

How do You Select a Good Coach?

SELECTING A COACH

It's important to give an executive coach the same scrutiny that you would give any other professional. These are six questions that are valuable to ask.

1. How do you define coaching?

Coaching is the Art and Science of helping Clients 1) Get Clear on what they value most. 2) Get clear on what their individual value is. 3) Assist Clients in getting more of what they value most. This is done by helping Clients become accountable for what they say they want to produce, and by doing it through asking the right questions.

2. May I see your code of ethics?

1. I do not possess all of the answers, rather the answers lie within the Client.

2. You are enough. You need not change a thing, unless you desire to produce something that you've not produced before.

3. You do the "heavy lifting." I'm here to help you decide on what that needs to be.

4. A good Coach will help you create systems that are sustainable without relying on the Coach as a crutch.

5. I value Coaching and have my own Coaches as well. Coaching reduces the learning curve by avoiding the repetition of "trial and error."

6. I guarantee the value of the Coaching I deliver. If you don't produce 4 times the value of what you pay me in 1 year, I will refund your coaching fees. I am a Business Coach Vs being a Life Coach because we have a scorecard. That scorecard is your bank account. I will regularly ask if you put money in the bank.

7. Our relationship is based on trust. There is confidentiality in our conversations, even if your boss or Manager hired me and pay me to provide coaching for you. I'm not here to be another set of eyes on you, nor to provide additional review and rating services for your company. I work for you.

There is no "lesson" of the week. My focus is on you and your specific needs and situation.

8. I am not here to change you, I am here to support whatever growth or accomplishment that you desire.

9. I focus on the process.

10. You are responsible for keeping your promises to yourself. If you say you're going to get something done for a purpose that serves you, you must get it done. Keep your promises, and make no promises that you can't keep.

3. What principles do you favor in your coaching?

1. G.R.O.W. the organizational model for our coaching sessions;

G. - GOALS Everything we do together is driven by YOUR Goals.

R. - REVIEW Review the activities and results of the previous week

O. - OPTIONS We consider optional ways of achieving what you desire, or to get better results out of your actions, or to get you to do what you say you want to do.

W. - WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO, AND WHEN WILL IT GET DONE? Weekly Assignments

MUST DO - There are actions that you agree to that must be accomplished before our next meeting. Failure is not an option with "must do's," they are the things or actions that will be taken, and would get done even if you went to the Emergency Room, but were physically capable of doing, before you go to sleep that night.

VALUES - One must be clear in what they value most, so much so that you can effectively communicate those values to the world. As a result, you will attract Employees, Vendors and Customers who value the same things and are willing, even anxious to do what you have them do or pay the price that you would have them pay. Values are raised like a Military standard which; a) Gathers the team b) Provides a sense of direction and a sense of achievement for the team c) Provides for the morale of the team.

TIME VALUE – If you sell your time for less than it's worth, you will not find satisfaction. You know what your time value is. It's important to get clear on what that time value is so that you communicate that value to others.

INVESTMENT - While scholarship may be provided, I have discovered over the past 25 years or so that individuals do not take the required action (I challenge you to do the things that have been avoided up to this point) unless they have a vested interest.

CONSISTENCY - Success is nothing more than making the right choices, at the right time, consistently.

PRINCIPLE CENTERED Vs STRATEGY ORIENTED - Principles are lasting, strategies are situation based. Principles allow us to create the best strategy for the moment, but do not require going back to school, as it were. 

ONCE A CLIENT, ALWAYS A FRIEND - I have a vested interest in your success, whether that may be accomplished in a day or 20 years. I remain dedicated to your success, even when you may wish to give up.

4. What will you require of me?

 

1. Weekly meetings at the agreed to time and day.

 

2. Accountability. Reporting of achievement, or lack of.

 

3. Complete Honesty, including letting me know when you disagree with me.

 

4. Elimination of the words, "should have" and the concept of guilt. Instead, the use of "I choose to" and acceptance of the results as what you desire more than perhaps even stated desires.

 

5. Does the proposed program match my needs?

 

Minimal time requirement is 1 hourly meeting each week, for a minimum of 12 weeks. Ideally we will work together for 1 year.

 

A minimum of 5 minutes of daily effort on each stated objective or accepted assignment.

 

6. Is confidentiality clear?

 

Once again, our meetings, and what we discuss is held in strict confidence between us, even if a Company or Manager pays for your Coaching.

 

Lastly, ask my current and previous clients if they would hire me again. I'm more than happy to provide you with a list of people that you can call.
