EPISODE IN BRIEF

How susceptible are you to peer pressure? Are you a follower or a leader?

Do you find yourself leaning on advice or do you back yourself?

In today’s episode of Coaching Conversations, Nick and Chris break down how we respond to the business opinions of others. 

You’ll learn how the energy of unsolicited or poor advice can demoralise trust in your own instincts. And you’ll learn how to combat those feelings by first identifying the type of energy… is it is taxing or is it enhancing?

Let’s find out in this fantastic episode of Coaching Conversations!

 

 

Time Code/Show Notes 

0.26  Intro: Business coaches Nick and Chris want you to be wary of the business advice you may receive. Starting now!

3.30  Opinions are energy; they can be taxing, when told “you should have done it like this” etc. How do feel with that energy? 

4.56  Do you know how to manage that energy? When an outside opinion puts the hand break on your decisions, it can be very demoralising. 

8.02  Unwavering commitment to the end objective is the mindset you need to adopt immediately. 

10.06  How much have you trained to deal with the opinions of others? Is your self-compass out of whack? Do you feel intimidated more often than not? Self-development is the anecdote for the ‘arrows’. 

12.16  Do you pivot on the back of someone’s forceful opinion? Opinions are pretty easy to give – and not always easy to ignore. This is why your unwavering commitment to the end objective is SO important! 

13.24  Firstly, give yourself a parameter. Regain the focus you had when your business was in its infancy. But be wary of the good opinions of others INCLUDING that little voice in your head.

14.32  Beware the negative voices in your own head. You need to silence the bad ones by conditioning your own “persona’s opinion”.

17.00  Weightlifting for your mind. Nick’s body ink ‘reminds’ him of who he is. It’s important to know who YOU are and where you come from to pursue unwavering commitment.

18.27  Circumstances change. Be flexible like a reed; but as strong as an arrow. Don’t panic. Have truthful expectations. Long play with short-term adjustments.

20.43  How are you resetting the calibration? Can you deflect or move on?

24.19  Nurture your inner compass amidst the data overload of internet and social media disruptions. Why do you think ‘everyone looks like a Kardashian”… ?

26.54  What do you need to prove to yourself in an ‘unwavering commitment’… 

28.45  Building self-belief takes time. Why it’s so important and how it can help you be `wary of the good opinion of others’.
