Let’s get started… Show Notes Episode 161 dailystoic.com/new-start-here/ https://performance-dynamics.net https://www.linkedin.com/in/time4change/ How to hire a coach http://performance-dynamics.net/how-to-hire-a-coach/ Books: Presuasion Influence Transcriptie: Erno: Today, I am talking with a special guest, who I met in New York where Mark gave a workshop. This was part of the book he is about to release. It was very intense and good. Welcome Mark. Mark: Thank you Erno, great to be here. Erno: You'll be releasing your book in September 2018, I think you all should read it. The book helps you get clear on points that you are not reaching. How did  you come up with the idea of the book? Mark: It came after many years of living my own life and working on my own. The evidence that there was something missing kept on growing. It stopped me and my clients from getting the succes we wanted. I knew how to do things and did not learn new things and how to do those. I had a hard time asking direct questions. I knew how to ask them and that I had to ask them, yet I was unable to do it. There was something missing, preventing me from doing it. The clients I have today have the same issues. they know how to do it, the have the strategy, but they are not doing it. The premis of the book is the missing parts, why you are not doing them and tools on how to do them. Erno: Can you name some examples of direct questions? Mark: A direct question to a CEO could be pointing out a contradiction. This is pretty common. A CEO can say one thing and then say something else a minute later. I have to them there. It's the ability to operate with high confidence without worrying about respect or being liked. Erno: If you have respect, are you then also liked? Mark: Not necessarily. I have plenty of clients and I am not the favorite everywhere. I may not like my docter, because he causes me pain. But I respect him and the next, I like him just fine. Erno: How long have you  been a coach? Mark: I've had my own practice for 15 years. The last 10 have been in the current format of meeting with the entire executive team. Erno: How many clients do you have? Mark: At the moment I have 11 clients. It is considered full at 12 clients, which depends on the circumstances. Erno: That might not sound as a lot for some listeners. Do you spend a lot of time with them? Mark: Haha, this cuts right into the core of my business, to create a lifestyle for myself. Have a dramatic impact on clients while maximizing my lifestyle and flexibility. I see each client once a month. Half day monthly, full day quarterly. I have much time to make the coiches I want and to keep on learning. I also spent a lot of time on the book. Erno: A beautiful but intense way of spending time. You have a lot of time to develope yourself. What coiches did you make to be able to do that.
