Philosophy: The human asset is the only sustainable competitive advantage that organizations possess to navigate the storms of change, face adversity and raise the level of performance to meet the challenges of today’s world.
• When a client asks others for input, it increases raters’
expectations that the client will change in a positive way. Coach: Encourage client to share the goals or results.
• A client cannot change what he or she does not believe. Coach: Challenge the client’s belief system.
Key Sustainability Strategies

Key Sustainability Strategies contd. • To change the impression others have of clients, they must change their behaviors to fit the situation and the person they are communicating with. Coach: Administer an assessment that shows clients their preferred behaviors, the impact of those behaviors, and how they are perceived by others with different styles.
18
• To maintain high performance, clients have to change over time. Coach: Follow up over time with development plans, coaching plans, and check-ins.
• The most critical skill in making a change based on feedback is for clients to decide what specific issue to work on first. Coach: Through the coaching process, help the client identify the change and support the client in setting SMART goals as they “wash” one part of the elephant at a time.
Key Sustainability Strategies contd.

• Clients make significant life changes if they have the necessary desire, strength and motivation to cause those changes to happen. Coach: Focus on strengths and find out what motivates clients. Help clients discover what will motivate them to change after receiving feedback.
I have yet to find the person, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater efforts under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism.
Charles Schwab
