the greatness of humility

This is so well said, I had to share - thanks Luke (who ever you are)

"...why would anyone want to be humble if it means you can’t be proud of accomplishements?  People who look at humility this way just don’t get it.  Humility is not about rejecting pride in a job well done.  Humility merely allows for the possibility of imperfection.  It’s admitting that there may be someone out there who could possibly have done a better job."

"Most conflict resolution requires humility because you have to admit the possibility of being wrong."

pre-requisites for creating success in life

I'm refreshing my coaching mind (with Coachville) and have been thinking  v.much about what makes a great coach and what coaches do that help people get to the moves that they want - coaches are not about maintaining the just OK status quo, they are about co-creating easy opportunities for positive changes as each unique individual/coachee/ player/ client sees it.


Then I found in my email a reminder to listen to a talk by Brian Tracy. It said:


"Brian [Tracy] has discovered two things about successful people: 
1) they know more things than others about their craft and 
2) they think in a different way than average people."


This pretty much sums up what  coaching toward success is all about - coaches help  people think different about themselves and their actions so they can jump into that success.
