“May the force be with you” – and stay with you!

Are you an entrepreneur? Do you have huge energy resources? Are you full of stimulating, creative ideas?

But does this leave you feeling stressed, and not able to focus? Is this creativity channeled effectively?

This month I participated in a series of “tele-class” workshops where I connected with coaches from around the world. We focused on two particular areas of learning to help us coach our entrepreneurs more effectively.

Firstly we explored ways to allow them to maintain their energy whilst putting into place structures to help them succeed.

Secondly we talked about ways in which they could look after themselves, preserving their “personal foundation”, whilst still remaining creative and energetic.

A large proportion of my clients are entrepreneurs. They are inspiring people to work with. Frequently, though, the staff around them are disillusioned, especially when these entrepreneurs are unable to delegate, and want to retain control.

They have no effective systems in place. Their judgment may be impaired, and they are not in touch with “the grass roots”.

So what does this mean for you?

With one of my clients, Nikki, we are redressing the balance in her life so that she is less stressed, and more fulfilled. She has to focus on factors critical to her success, and be able to recognize the benefits of doing this.

Nikki has fabulous ideas, but has to learn how to manage a huge amount of paperwork in the office to be effective. By asking her pertinent questions, I got her to focus more on the administrative work, and to realize the importance of getting a good system in place.

As a result, she set aside a regular day each week to attend to the office side of things. She set up reminders at her desk, and on her computer, to ensure she carried it through.

She felt the benefits of being much happier and in control. And this all came from her own ideas and motivation.

I regard this as critical in my coaching. You talk. I listen. As the adrenalin starts flowing I may ask questions to keep you on track, but you provide the solutions yourself. I merely drill down to pinpoint the keys to further action.

By engaging in an international forum not only was I able to continue my professional growth, but also, by learning from leading coaches, I was able to re- affirm some of the tools I use to help you.
