From Zig Ziglar’s perspective, success is only real when it encompasses every area of life. Physical, mental, spiritual, relationships and, oh yes, career and finances.

True success requires balance, an ingredient missing in many people’s busy lives. And while we may acquire the trappings of success—a nice car, a beautiful home, designer clothes— the truth is they may only be traps if the pursuit of obtaining them leads to greater imbalance and skewed priorities. Although Ziglar is committed to encouraging people to become their best, gentle words of support were not what sparked his legendary career. P.C.

Coaching and the 3 bears - The risk of coaching at too shallow a level | Jonathan Sibley |

Lasting change. When we or our organization pays a coach, the assumption is often that the results that are generated will last, whether or not that is made explicit. For example, we don't want to see that, 6 or 12 months later, all the work put into becoming a better delegator has become meaningless. There are many paths toward successful coaching results, but not all paths are equivalent. If a problem has been with someone for years, and has possibly resisted multiple attempts to make a change, what are the chances that working at a more shallow level, without exploring the obstacles to success, will result in lasting change? There are problems that are more easily addressed, perhaps through training, practice, and/or having an accountability partner.

However, many of our thorniest problems require deeper exploration to gain any sort of traction and lasting results. Why the 3 bears? Please take a look at this diagram and let me know what you think. AdvantEdge Newsletter.
