Top of Mind Thursday March 24, 2016: The Coach’s Coach

Top of Mind Thursday

Last week I had the privilege to speak alongside a set of world-class presenters–including top management thinker Marshall Goldsmith–at Alan Weiss’ Million Dollar Consulting Convention.

Two things struck me about Marshall. First, he is down-to-earth and genuinely interested in sharing his insights so he can help others. Second, although he is hired at a premium price to coach top CEOS, he feels that he himself still needs a coach.

Marshall says there are three delusions from which we all suffer:

  • I can objectively evaluate my own behavior.
  • I have the willpower I need to do this on my own.
  • I don’t need help to achieve my goals.
That’s why he has someone contact him every morning for a short coaching session.
If one of the world’s top coaches isn’t afraid to ask for help, what about the rest of us?

Top of Mind Thursday March 17, 2016: Standing Out

Top of Mind Thursday

Three times this week I’ve had the opportunity to talk to consultants about how they can stand out in the marketplace and be heard above the noise.

It’s always a pleasure to help other consultants be more effective in sharing their value with potential clients. What’s interesting is how the key concepts are similar regardless of the area of consulting expertise–or even if I’m talking to consultants, students, employees, or large corporations.

To stand out, you need to have a great product or service that is of value to your target market. You need to understand the market you’re selling into and how what you offer is of value to others. You need to build a brand that your clients can relate to and you need to effectively communicate that to your target market.

None of this is rocket science, but if you don’t do the basics, your message and offering will be drowned out in today’s loud, crowded environment–no matter how good you are.

Just a Moment for Marketing: When Your Car and Your Fridge Talk Back to You

Linda advises: Use your customers’ data responsibly.

Understanding the Importance of Regular Maintenance. It is often frustrating to encounter any form of car trouble, particularly if you are in a hurry or are far from an auto shop. These types of incidents can be avoided if you are able to regularly have your car checked. Regular car maintenance and repair can help prevent the possibility of you being stuck in these situations. Maintenance of your car can range from basic car maintenance to an overhaul or car check-up. It can be a false economy to avoid regular car servicing, since expected wear and tear requiring minor maintenance, can fast become a costly major repair or replacement. The service … The garage will also perform checks on other parts of the vehicle and if these parts need changing they will communicate this with you in advance of carrying out the work to make sure you are aware of what additional work is required and whether any further costs may be incurred. If you ever need some repairs for your car or even car parts, visit https://www.scuderiacarparts.com/carparts/marque/bentley/bentley-parts.html so you can se every item they have available for you.
