In a recent blog post, guru Seth Godin made the wonderful point that there are two types of teachers:
Type 1. You can take a class where you learn technique, facts and procedures.
Type 2. You can take a class where you learn to see, learn to lead and learn to solve interesting problems.
He goes on to say that the first type of teaching isn’t particularly difficult to do – it’s important but not scarce. But the second kind, is where all real success comes from. His advice: anytime you can find some of it, you should grab it.
This got me thinking – what do you need us to do to help you identify issues and increase results?
Many people come to us thinking we can give them the technique, the format, the magic words that will change their situation for the better.
We aren’t even trying to to that! Getting better results is not about you learning new techniques. It’s about a better way of seeing, a bigger way of being, and an infinitely different way of thinking.
We don’t do “training”. That can be done be anyone, well almost anyone. And we have all been in a session like that! But weren’t we sure disappointed when we got back to the “real world” and found the tricks and tips that sounded so keen in the classroom actually were not effective in the workplace? What happened to that magic pixie dust? It turned out to be useless.
You can tell the people that have gone to these sessions in the past – they are the cynics, the resentful, the “downward spiral” talkers. And I get where they are coming from. Techniques, tips and broken promise land.
Our happy mission is to get results. Results come from change not tips. Change starts with what we think, what we say and how we deliver on those promises.
Wow. Who knew it could be so clear?
And what could be more important to you than finding a new and better way to think, see, promise, act and deliver outstanding results.
You have some wonderful gifts to bring to the world.
We can help with that.
