Master Your Game: Introduction

Welcome to the first edition of Master Your Game, a monthly newsletter distributed by Catalyst Business Coaching.

The objective of Master Your Game is to assist you in being the best you can be in whatever game you choose to play. When you master your game you will feel a greater sense of joy and success.

Master Your Game will focus on three broad topic areas:

Leadership Development - focusing on the development of leadership skills to engage your people and increase the organization's performance. A key component of this area is improving communication skills to facilitate a better connection to the people that you interact with.

Business Development - taking your business to the next level requires you to be laser focused on the vision and goals for your business. The challenge for so many of you is to remain in control and not be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of tasks bombarding you each day.

Personal Development - who are you, what you want most for yourself and what inspires you are important aspects to your sense of personal success. What you believe and how you think are key factors in determining how you undertake various activities and processes. These factors are also key determinates of how you respond to others and, hence, how other people experience you. The better you respond to others, the better leader you will be and the better the results in your organization will be.

My purpose is to share with you my learnings on how you can assist your organization to be more profitable and how to achieve a greater sense of personal success in all areas of your life. I believe organizations have made huge gains in productivity through improvements in technology, however, the next gains in productivity will be achieved by those organizations that can harness the collective power of their people. To do this it is necessary for each of us to focus on who we are and how we are showing up in life.
When we shift who we are, this impacts how we approach our tasks and changes the actions that we take. This different set of actions shifts what it is we do and the results we generate. My golf coach keeps telling me "no one ever improves their score by focusing on the scorecard."

(WHO → HOW) X WHAT = SCORECARD
To leverage your operational processes and to improve the results on your scorecard, it's time to start thinking about who you and your people are.

Re: I will be away - Hi Guys Thanks for the good wishes. I had a really relaxing time and as soon as I get caught up will upload some pictures of the Big Game we saw on some of the drives. No lion GT as these parks are privately owned and they don't want predators who will eat the herbivores that they have paid a lot of money for . Saw some elephant though and rhino which was great.
