EP263: Field to Table (Weekly Compass)

Description

Eric shares his business coaching session within the "Contractor Circle," focusing on themes of client communication, sales strategies, and personal growth. The participants discuss overcoming technical difficulties at the start, share personal wins related to applying coaching principles, and plan for a future intensive session on vital business questions. A significant portion of today's show explores the idiom "leaving it on the table," interpreted in a business context as not fully capitalizing on opportunities or failing to understand client needs, contrasted with "leaving it on the field," emphasizing giving maximum effort. The session also includes role-playing a difficult price increase conversation and recommendations for resources on personality profiling (DISC and Enneagram) to improve team dynamics and client interactions.
