5-minute coaching step 1: Be present

Colleagues,

Tomorrow’s podcast episode is about 5-minute coaching, so I thought it would be good to devote the entire week to encourage you to try out the technique.

Today: Why is 5-minute coaching a critical tool?

1. You can find 5 minutes. Yes, you can.
2. You can help someone grow in five minutes
3. If you help someone grow, you have fulfilled your leadership purpose

The best way to escape the gravitational pull of urgency is to work purposefully. And since people are our purpose, 5-minute coaching lets you leverage a small chunk of time to help someone grow, and in the process, help you reclaim your purpose. 

There are five steps to 5-minute coaching.

Step 1: Be fully present.

This is the most difficult part of the entire process. Can you be so present that you make the world stop for the person you are with?

Cheer!
