Conversations with Coaches | Boxer Media

In this recurring series, Kevin explores some of the brightest ideas and insightful lessons that his guests have shared with him on the podcast, and why they’ve continued to inspire him ever since.

Most coaches I’ve met have two things very much in common: they discovered in themselves a desire to serve others, and they realized that they had something very specific and unique to contribute.

But there’s something else very similar to this that is often true, especially with the best coaches – they’ve found an area of great need, and have chosen to dedicate themselves to it.

Hello again, and welcome to another episode lessons minisode of the conversations with coaches podcast, I’ve just been getting so much so much inspiration from. I mean, unsurprisingly, from all the coaches I’ve been getting to talk to, I don’t know if the coaches I’ve spoken to recently have been more inspiring. Or if I’m just more open to it, I think it might, maybe we’ll call them a little Combi, I think it’s probably just me being more open to it and being more and more impressed and inspired and moved to thought and feeling and action by all of you, guests, audience everybody, I get to talk to you on a regular basis. So there’s one lesson that I’ve been pondering that has been brought to me recently framed in a certain way, a particular coach I spoke to recently who’s just really dedicated her life to a kind of service, like, like most coaches, but to up to a place of, well, while referred to here as great need. Most coaches I’ve met and get to talk to have two things I say to there’s more than this. But there’s two things very much in common amongst pretty much all coaches, they discovered in themselves, this desire to serve others, I was like, I want to, I want to help I want to give back I want to contribute. And they realized that they had something very specific and unique to themselves and their own experiences, to contribute. So not just a desire to serve, but the way that they can serve best. And there’s another, it’s not really a separate thing, it’s more an aspect of this. That’s true of especially true of some of my favorite coach, some of the coaches that whose work has moved me the most that I most resonate with. And that is a discovery of an area of great, great, great need, where there’s just not a lot of vision, not a lot of sight, not a lot of light being shown in an area, not a lot of hands to do all the work, resources to grow the work. And they see that and they identify in that space, a way that they can help the way they can move into that area of great need, and make a difference. And I think I mean, I’m I’m confident that this resonates with all of you. One way or another, I think I think every coach I’ve spoken to has this in them. I might, I might I might be exaggerating, but you know what I might not this desire this, this, this vision of, you know what, I not only have a desire to serve, and have figured out a way that I can serve well, like that, that suits my skills, my experience, my passions, but also, there’s this area of need, where there’s just, there’s too much work for now enough hands, not enough light shone and enough of the dark corners, not enough, not enough light being brought to people’s lives in this one particular way. And a coach saying to themselves, that’s where I’m going.

That’s what’s coming next. That’s what I’m gonna dedicate myself to. That’s where I’m going to put my passions. That’s where I’m going to do the work. And it’s just, it’s consistently amazing. And at this point completely unsurprising. To me, it’s something I’ve learned to respect and admire about about coaches and coaching. It’s just it’s the kind of thing that I’ve I’ve often sought in my own life, and seeing it puts not just into concept, and not just spoken about, but put into practice lives built around these principles. This servant leadership, as it’s so often called, it’s just it’s so inspiring. And I don’t think enough can be said about it. And so every once in a while, I like to shine a special an extra special light on the extra special light. That makes sense. It is a tremendous honor to be helping the helpers and serving the servants serving people who, who move into the areas of great need and, and seek to serve others and to watch the the positive cascade and radiating effects that this kind of services kind of coaching can have. So I guess this is a lesson in gratitude. Thank you, everyone who’s listening to this. Everyone who has spoken to everyone who’s who’s a coach or wants to coach or has been coaching or is has been moving as a servant leader throughout the world and their way. Just grateful. And gratitude also is a lesson learned. Thank you for listening. Thank you for being here. Thank you for doing what you do. I will talk to you again very soon.
