After hearing complaints about how slow he was in getting dressed in the morning to go to work, Jed decided to examine his routine. He learned that it took at least an hour for him to shave, shower, and get dressed. If he could invest just 15 minutes less every morning, he would generate more than 90 hours a year to invest elsewhere. That represents nearly two workweeks for most of us!

Recently, during a coaching session with an executive (whom we’ll call Jodie), I listened as she described conversations with her staff. The feedback that her staff gave her went something like this: “You’re hard to communicate with.” “I don’t feel empowered when you speak to me.” “You sound impatient when you speak to me.” “You make me feel stupid.” Does this scenario sound familiar to you? Do you often feel helpless when it comes to communicating with your staff? What are you to do with this type of feedback?

Do you have a picture in your mind of how you think your life should be? When chaos seems to seize the upper hand, we tend to have conversations with ourselves—conversations that, in truth, have no bearing on reality. See if you can hear yourself in any of these: • Things should always go as planned. In other words, nothing should ever go wrong. If only things went as planned, my time-management system would work perfectly and everything would be just fine.

According to the late Walter Hailey, a behavioral scientist and sales and marketing consultant, “People have 12,367 thoughts per day. Of those, 90 percent are automatic, and 84 percent are negative.” More than 12,000 thoughts! That’s a lot of self-talking going on. How do you think that might affect your environment, especially if most of your thoughts are negative? The key is to manage your self-talk. Infuse it with positivity and confidence.r

At the beginning of your coaching call, ask, “How much time do we have?” The answer may surprise you. Sometimes we believe we’ll have an hour, only to have the player respond, “Oh, about twenty minutes.” It’ll happen to you, too. It doesn't matter if we've previously established the length of the call, things can come up. This happens with in-person sessions, too. By asking the time question, you will find out how much time you will have at the beginning. Therefore, you won’t get “lopped off” at a critical juncture with the player saying, “Oops, gotta run! Bye!”

Our commitment is to give you as many tools as possible to use with your clients. Some of the tools may be new to you, and some may be familiar tools used a little differently. We invite you to start with the three Ps (Prepare, Polish, and Perfect) to plan, design, and implement the best solution to your client’s needs. Helping our clients plan effectively has become one of the highest value actions we can take with them. Imagine the future. Assume that the probable happened. What happened that the best didn’t happen?
