Coaching philosophies to live by so that we can be trusted by our clients or people who seek our services. I live by John Wooden's Pyramid of Success
Coach John Wooden has had a profound impact on my life as a Coach. His “Pyramid of Success” has been widely used by many as a roadmap for individual and team excellence. The pyramid defines the characteristics and traits (25 behaviours), that help define a successful person. You may take a look at it here. These are life principles that we all should live by.
Coach Wooden has always said that the key to success is to coach others and being mentored by someone. That is, you teach and you also learn. When building a relationship the first thing that anybody wants to know about you is ‘Can I trust You?". And it deals with integrity. He calls it as the "Two set’s of three’s". The first set is; never lie, never cheat, and never steal. The second set is, Don’t whine, Don’t complain, and Don’t make excuses.
He also says, “Make each day your masterpiece”, by living by these principles of wisdom.
- Rethink the meaning of success and find a more simple approach to living a meaningful and fruitful life
