Let’s start off on the right foot

 “The interesting thing about coaching is that you have to trouble the comfortable and comfort the troubled.” Ric Charlesworth

The skinny 

Approach change with a growth mindset while investing in your people.  

 

Unbeatable brothers.

Hugging his mother after the Eagles lost the Super Bowl on Sunday, Jason Kelce said, “Let’s go celebrate with Trav.” Donna Kelce, in a sense the men’s first coach, has raised a pair of champion sons. Travis Kelce, tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs has officially won the Super Bowl twice, first in 2019.

Our fearless leader.


In sports and life, a coach keeps you at the edge of your skill level, building both technical skills and self-confidence. A coach instills positivity, resilience, and discipline. Then trusts their players to act in the moment. For 40% of employees, they feel they’re lacking this level leadership from their direct managers.

The long game.

Coaching, rather than correcting, aims to bring out the best in employees, tapping into their strengths and motivations with open-ended questions. Embracing a coaching mindset prioritizes long-term growth over short-term results. Humans are diverse and complex; acknowledging this will improve engagement, retention, performance, and yes, profits. 

A journey of a thousand miles.

For more than 81% of workers today, their mental health is more important to them than their salary. Plus, a third of them wish their manager understood the impact they have on their team’s wellbeing. Leaders who seek change by building their people up, rather than tearing down, balance both goals: mental wellbeing and business growth.

So, what's next?

Many employees are looking to their organization to offer career coaching, apprenticeships, and other professional development opportunities. Higher education often requires thousands of dollars of debt and may be out-of-reach for some employees. Building skills makes your people more effective in their roles while fostering retention and personal fulfillment.
