When I ask a client what sabotage looks like, they frequently confess that they sabotage themselves. One client hired me because a recent performance review sited his habitual lateness as a major issue. He was told to change the habit or change careers. During our first coaching session, he stated that his wife of 30 years had been frustrated with his lateness since day one.\u00a0<strong>His bad habit was not new to him. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In most cases, awareness is not enough.<\/p>\n<p>Here is where an ongoing coaching relationship can help. Coaching offers regular check-ins on progress \u2013 or lack of progress \u2013 and follow up accountability. In other words,<strong>\u00a0your coach will hold your feet to the fire<\/strong>.\u00a0Similar to the athletic coach, when you are tempted to \u201cthrow in the towel\u201d and quit, your coach will help you develop a creative next step to move you forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In many cases, the difference between the career you&#8217;ve got and the one you want is just one or two bad habits.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Consider working with a coach on your career limiting habits.<\/p>\n<p>Or, enroll in our coach training and learn how to coach people through their career limiting habit.<\/p>\n<p>All the best to you,<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/93c1de14001\/44c49d3b-7991-46c7-9d7a-c113df540ef2.png\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of us are one bad habit away from being a great leader.
