Leo Tolstoy's Coaching Widsom - Episode 2
Episode description
Rob is talking about lessons learnt from circumstances he experienced during his week and sharing the wisdom of the month from the Calendar of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy.
This episode includes lessons, reflections and maxims that can be used in your coaching, managing and leadership along with your own projects for a positive effect.
Coaching is always psychological and social, You may want someone to master a physical skill, but it all begins with their mindset, listen in and be inspired.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Do what you can, with what you have, do it where you are
- How often have you seen something that others haven't?
- When you have a feeling or vision, just because others can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.
- If you commit to the path something will change there will be an outcome, nothing is worthwhile without the work.
Balancing the age of digitalisation
- Our lives have gone online saving us a huge amount of time but there is a downside, being online for extended periods of time has issues.
- Aim to get your social media presence mastered and spend time communicating directly.
Fear in our lives
- Everyone has fears lurking in the back their minds, these are the fears we confront every day.
- Getting people to learn to live with the butterflies is a key skill. Those feelings of fear actually signify we are on the right path and through the door lies the next opportunity.
- It's important to help others to develop the skills to understand and overcome their fears
The development of self-efficacy
- Be humble and take stock of yourself in order to achieve balance and respond with empathy.
- Scrutinise your thought processes, recognise the shortcomings and work to overcome them.
- We should all scrutinise ourselves, be kind to ourselves and give ourselves leeway understanding that we are always be seeking to do better next time.
Leo Tolstoy – A Calendar of Wisdom
- Do what we can in this moment, we only have the present - the stuff we have available is all there is.
- Challenges are part of the journey – it's vital to recognise what we don't know.
- The value of kindness - we need to be strong, have discipline but we must be kind.
- Remember humility - Be humble and do your best in the moment. It's not the glory but the long-term effects and outcomes
- Always align what you say with what you are - what you are speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you say.
- Always speak the truth - let the consequences take care of themselves
- Be simple in your life – there may be lots of people to communicate with but communicating, behaving and living simply is vital.
