Bad Experiences with Coaching



Bad Experiences with Coaching ! 

Yes. There are bad coaches out there. Its the bane of any industry. As any industry gets popular (for whatever reasons - demand or monetary opportunity or low entry barrier); it will invite a whole lot of people across the capability spectrum. 

Some will be excellent, some will be good, others will be average (and yet deliver results) and then, of course, there will be a whole lot of 'bad apples'! 

Coaching definitely helps and can be transformational. No doubt about that. BUT, you need to engage the right coach. 

The proverbial 'give a man a fish versus teach him fishing' concept applies here too. The coach should be enabling you to figure out things and NOT figuring out things for you. Coach should enable you to think about yourself clearly, think of your goals and how to achieve them, help you understand your life vision ... and not do anything of that FOR You. 

The Coach should nudge you in the right direction and NOT hold your hand and lead you. 

Definitely engage a coach to help you go further and higher in life. (I write life and not career, work, business, relationships, health, wealth ... all of those are integral parts of LIFE) 

Choose Wisely. Evaluate your coach in the interaction that you have with them. Trust your heart and feelings along with your logical analytical mind. In your first one-two conversations, do you feel comfortable with the coach (remember, s/he is going to make you uncomfortable during the coaching exercise ... got to hammer the metal to shape it - its either hammer or heat)

happy to get into a conversation ... even if it is about how to identify a good coach (which you then use to identify a coach, other than me) :)

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
