As soon as we exchanged the obligatory "Hi, how are you?" on the call.
He was in a funk. Deep, dark, stuck in the mud funk.
As we peeled away the why, it seems his production was down - both from years past and, more importantly, from his sky-high expectations of himself.
Coaching Prospect (CP): "In the two years prior to this one I've been a top 5 wholesaler. And this year, it's not happening."
Me: "How many wholesalers are in the firm?"
CP: "Over 70"
Me: “How do you rank year-to-date?”
CP: "10th to 15th position."
Me: "Maybe you should trade-in the Louisville Slugger you're clobbering yourself with and buy a Nerf Bat."
CP: "Well, now that I think about it..."
There are more than enough people in our lives ready and willing to beat us down.
Friendly reminder: be nicer to yourself.

p.s. I've got a limited number of Private Coaching spots open. Each session is 50-minutes in length and are offered in five session packages.
If you're interested, hit reply and I'll forward you a scheduling link so we can discuss.
