Description

I’m slightly obsessed with Malcolm Gladwell’s podcast Revisionist History. It appeals to my nerdy, inquisitive side.

In case you’re curious, here’s the official description of his podcast:

“Revisionist History is Malcolm Gladwell's journey through the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every episode re-examines something from the past — an event, a person, an idea, even a song — and asks whether we got it right the first time. Because sometimes the past deserves a second chance.”

In the latest season of his podcast, he started out with a two-part series about the LSAT, in which he described a distinct difference between two types of people that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about since I originally heard it months ago.

He categorized most people as being either “tortoises” or “hares.”

Whether you’re a tortoise or a hare impacts everything in your life, from the way you work, to the way you communicate, to the way you think.

Neither is better or worse, but trying to go against your type is going to feel miserable, frustrating, and unsustainable.

Honestly, this distinction has been as impactful to me (and to many of my current clients, who I’ve been sharing this with) as learning that I’m an introvert, not an extrovert.

It’s a game changer.

In this week’s brand-new blog, I’m explaining the differences between tortoises and hares, how to tell what type you are, and how to work WITH your type, instead of against it.

SERIOUS ABOUT SOME 1-ON-1 COACHING?

One-on-one coaching will be open for enrollment again next Tuesday, October 8! A few pointers to keep in mind before then:

• We’ll be taking on about 20-25 people in this new wave, which starts October 8 and goes through October 18.
• This is for people interested in getting started ASAP (October or early November).
• You don’t have to know for sure that you want to move ahead with coaching. You just have to be serious enough about it to want to have a conversation.
• We WILL have coaching spots open up in the months after that, before we take on the next “official” wave of clients (which won’t be until later in March 2020). So if you’re not ready now, or you’ve found us in-between “official” enrollment periods, then you can add your name to the wait list, and we’ll contact you if and when we have an availability.

If you’re seriously considering coaching, check out this page for all the details so you know what to expect!

EVER THOUGHT ABOUT BECOMING A COACH?

For the first (and maybe last!) time ever, we’re doing a webinar with iPEC, the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching, where we did our coach training in 2012.

If you’ve considered coaching as a career path, and what the process of getting trained involves, then you should join us! We’ll be covering points like:

• The ups and downs of how we built a six-figure coaching business.
• The biggest things prospective coaches get wrong about the coaching industry.
• Why you don’t need to know what your “niche” is or what you’ll “do” with your coaching certification before you get certified (and why it’s actually better not to know!).
• Why you don’t need to start your own business to be a successful coach.
• What skills are critical for anyone thinking about becoming a coach.
• What questions to ask yourself when weighing your coach-training program options.

The webinar is happening TOMORROW (Wednesday, October 2) at 12:30pm Eastern. If you can make it live, you’ll be able to submit questions to us during the event! If you can’t, there will be a replay for you to watch later.
