The Think Train The Think Train

When I think of a great coach, I think of someone who will listen, ask open ended and challenging questions, and inspire others with stories about their experiences, victories, and even their failures. What doesn’t come to mind is a person who has all the answers, and dictates another what to do to succeed.

Great coaches have the ability to guide individuals to their own solutions - Developing independent, strategic problem solving skills.

With great coaching, comes the understanding of people. How someone may react to a situation, or the thought process behind peoples reactions.

We see it everywhere in business. We use different tools depending on what we want to understand… Tools which include:

- Short interviews
- Shadowing
- Relationship mapping
- Journey mapping
- And of course, research

A little while back I was lucky enough to be able to sit down with the director of marketing and content development for Epiphany coaches and talk about both some personal, and professional projects he’s been taking on for the past while, and really dive deep into some interesting topics about the process of coaching, experiential learning and self authoring.

So without further a due, Welcome, to the think train….

Today, we step away from the usual, and try something just a little bit different. In this series, every month, I’ll be reviewing and walking you through two books that had a huge effect on me, and really changed my perspective on the way I do things, both in my professional work life, and in my personal life.

On this week's episode we review "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie and "Performing Under Pressure" by Hendrie Weisinger and J.P Pawliw-Fry.

Enjoy!

The importance of hustling can not be understated. It’s not just limited to entrepreneurs, but everyone from lawyers, to artists, to real estate agents like in our case today… They all understand and value how crucial this is.
Carlo Batara is a serial entrepreneur by definition, handling multiple projects at once, and somehow, always killing it. Today we got to hear the story of how he went from selling value village t-shirts, to multiple condo's a day! Enjoy!

In the official launch of Think Train, we tackle the importance of getting out and creating your own stepping stones. With special guest James Hutton, we get to hear the inspirational story, from university, through to the end goal, on how to take yourself from a point of inspiration, to action.

The average person see's the goal they want to attain, but fail to take action to achieve it.
So were here to share the stores that average people don't get to hear.
