Practice of the Week: Act out your values   Too often we’re guided by the values which are ingrained, not defined. Great culture and action put your defined values into practice.   Follow us on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching 🖥️ Facebook: @drewcoaching 💻 LinkedIn: @drewcoaching

Practice of the Week: Define the desired outcome.   Unless you are clear about your desired outcome, you won’t get there. Clarity of outcome involves setting specific, measurable goals that are directly tied to your purpose. Without this clarity, it's easy to drift away from your purpose or to feel overwhelmed by uncertainty.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching 🖥️ Facebook: @drewcoaching 💻 LinkedIn: @drewcoaching

Practice of the Week: Get specific about your purpose.   Simon Sinek says “Start with WHY.” Jim Collins says “Start with WHO.” In uncertain times, what you really need is to start with Clarity and Purpose. When living and leading in uncertain times, CLARITY is the first cheat code. Without clarity, confusion and frustration will reign.   Follow us on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching 🖥️ Facebook: @drewcoaching 💻 LinkedIn: @drewcoaching

Practice of the Week: Reflect on clarity, competence, and culture.   There are 3 CHEAT CODES when it comes to leading in uncertain and frustrating times. Leaders who constantly practice them will be the ones who get ahead. They are: Clarity, Competence, and Culture. I grew up in the age of video games but before there was widespread internet access. We used to have to go to the store to buy a magazine with the game walkthrough, or the tips and tricks, or the cheat codes. There are 3 things that you can constantly focus on that are almost as good as cheat codes: Create Clarity, Grow Competence, and Build Culture.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Draw out the greatness in others.   Coaching shapes the future by drawing out the greatness in others. To end the season, I’m recording 3 bonus episodes to wrap up each and continue growing together. This is the last one, and I have saved the best for last. I have found that coaching is the best way to raise up the leadership of others.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Build relationships so that you and others grow.   Mentoring shapes the future by building relationships where all of us grow. A mentoring relationship is transformational to the person being mentored and the mentor. Especially as we practice building trust, mutual sharing, challenging and encouraging.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Invest your knowledge so that they can own it.   Teaching shapes the future by investing your knowledge and experience into others so that they can own and implement it themselves. In this bonus episode, we tie the key skills together so that those around us learn and grow.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Starting, checking in and ending coaching conversations   Just a little structure in a coaching conversation will make a BIG difference. Without structure, conversations can tend to wander, ramble, and not always have helpful endings. Three quick and easy additions to your conversations can make it a lot better!   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: They create action steps and you hold them accountable to progress   While coaching significantly increases learning and self-discovery, the best part is that it leads to progress and great results because of action and accountability. Whether I’m working with my coach 1 on 1, you’re in a team meeting, or you just run into a co-worker and get into a strategic conversation: practice our focus this week to make sure you keep making progress. Make sure that they create action steps and you hold them accountable to progress   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Ask great questions to unearth possibility   There is so much to explore when it comes to asking powerful questions. What I want you to know is this: a great question is one of the best tools we have to open possibilities and growth. So remember to ask questions for them (not for you), use their words, ask open-ended questions, don’t get stuck in either-or thinking, and let the silence do the heavy lifting.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Unearth the brilliance in them   I have a great temptation to tell people what to do and how to do it. That isn’t a coach approach! A coach approach recognizes that others are experts and helps to unearth their brilliance.  I have one coach friend who reminds me that: Each person is creative, resourceful and whole. The work of the coach is to help others discover that much of what they need for their progress and transformation is already within them.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Invest in the confidence of others   Because our brains evolved to survive threats, we naturally hear and amplify the negative. People actually need to hear 3 times as many positive comments as negative comments to get it. If you want to be a great mentor, team member, or just a positive contributor to society, we need you to invest in the confidence of others by being an encouragement.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Call others to greatness   The best mentors challenge others. They cause us to bring our A game. They invite us to be greater than we thought we could. Because here’s the deal: You’re passionate. You are gifted. You have a vision to shape the future. But we can’t do that alone. We must call others to greatness. We all need a guide who calls us to action and calls us out when we’re not bringing our best.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Learn as much as you share in the mentoring relationship   To grow as a mentor, we have to be willing to learn as much as we teach. I believe that the secret sauce to mentoring is learning from the person that you’re mentoring; the more you learn from them, the more impact you will have.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Build Trust to Grow Relationships   Mentoring is a partnership, and while one person has more experience to share, we grow the opportunity and possibility to invest ourselves as a mentor when we build trust first. I believe we should all, always be on the lookout for people looking to take the next right steps, improve their skills, grow in their abilities, and keep working toward a better team, organization, or whatever future and world they find themselves in. This week, we start the shift from teaching to mentoring.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Support the areas that others want to grow   People will invest the most time, energy and effort in the areas that they are most interested. Don’t fight it – invest in it! Not everyone wants to learn what you think they need to learn. Sometimes supervisors or classroom teachers can experience this the most, but as one of my mentors says: “The first rule of teaching is that people learn what they want to learn.” When individuals have a personal interest or a sense of autonomy in what they are learning, they are more likely to be motivated, engaged, and invested in the learning process.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Every moment is an opportunity to learn and grow   So this month we’ve been focused on teaching, first by starting with strengths and last week with a new process for practice. This week is a follow-up to practicing and our growth focus is: every moment is the opportunity to learn and grow. A growth mindset is the belief that one's abilities can be developed and strengthened through dedication, hard work, and a commitment to learning. I want you to strengthen your growth mindset for yourself and others. This happens formally through teaching and practice opportunities, and informally through watercooler conversations, impromptu meetings and conversations.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Try a new process for practice.   We all learn and grow the best through practice. When it comes to teaching others, whether you’re in front of a classroom, auditorium, 1 on 1 or with a group: growth begins when THEY start to do it. This can be very hard for me because it’s easier to just show others or do it for them. And there’s a place for modeling and showing how something might be done. But if you want others to grow, you have to let them practice and do it. I offer a 4 step process and then give a few examples.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

Focus of the Week: Identify, practice and share our strengths   The best way to achieve your goals, hopes and dreams is by teaching, mentoring and coaching others. The goal of teaching isn’t just to fill brains with knowledge; the goal is for those you are teaching to be able to use what they have learned. But I want you to start by identifying and investing in strengths. Invest in your strength and help others invest in their strengths. To find your niche, for the greatest growth, to be happier, and to have the greatest impact: focus on strengths, not weaknesses.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching

The best way to achieve your goals, hopes and dreams is by teaching, mentoring and coaching others.   Follow on social media to journey with us all week! 📸 Instagram: @drewcoaching 📱 TikTok: @drewcoaching
