October will be DAIDNAIS (Do as I do, not as I say) month. This month, I will practice what I preach because currently the cobbler has no shoes. I’ve been coaching and consulting tons of people, been an advisor and a contractor for great folks. While I help get other people in awesome places, I sometimes forget about my own crap! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s hard to face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People use me as a coach because they need help facing it. They aren’t incapable of it, but it definitely takes some emotional wind to look in the mirror and figure out what message we’d like to send. This month will be good for me to empathize more with my clients and what my abrupt direction uncovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advice is often made for the giver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the advisor is similar to the advisee, good advice is given. The more we know the person we’re counseling, the more powerful our words. Sometimes I’ll get off the phone with a friend who was asking me for something and I’ll say, “Dang! I just said the words I needed to hear!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the professional setting, I try to make sure this doesn’t happen much, but I am ready to step in and see if I hold up to the scrutiny of me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public accountability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I might not complete this list, but this month I’m shooting for improvement on…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Cleaning up the branding and messaging for all my performance work (not too hard since I’ve got some distance from it)<\/li>
  2. Doing the same for my coaching (harder)<\/li>
  3. Improving my outreach & attention for coaching<\/li>
  4. Organizing my fanbase<\/li>
  5. Serving my fanbase more<\/li>
  6. Consistently blogging<\/li>
  7. Cleaning up my unused channels ( youtube, linkedin, insta, twitter, etc. )<\/li>
  8. Getting good headshots<\/li>
  9. Asking for help more<\/li>
  10. Working for more credibility<\/li>
  11. Leveraging Parkinson’s Law for rapid improvement<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
