Today, we’re diving into Attitude. What exactly do we mean by that? It’s all about how you show up for your members, the way you interact with them, and the expectations you set and maintain. It’s the backbone of your coaching style and it makes a big difference.
Setting the Standard – You’re the Leader!
As a coach, you’re not just someone who teaches techniques or strategies; you’re a pillar of the community. Your members look to you as a role model, which means the standards you set are the ones they’ll try to meet. And yes, they will follow your lead, whether you realize it or not.
Your members are investing their time and resources in you, so show them the best version of yourself. Make every session feel like they’re stepping into a space where they’re truly valued and respected.
The Standard is the Standard – Consistency is Key
It’s not just about what you say; it’s what you stand for. Upholding community standards means being the embodiment of those values. It’s easy to preach, but the real challenge lies in practicing what you preach. That means no one, including the coaches and the owners, are above the rules.
Inconsistency is the fastest route to losing trust. Treating everyone equally and maintaining those standards across the board ensures that your community remains strong and united.
Uphold the Standard – Lead with Empathy
Ever had a student struggle to grasp something? Here’s a thought: instead of placing the blame on them, take a moment to reflect on how you can better support their learning. It’s about giving credit where it’s due and owning up to mistakes. This approach not only fosters growth but also cements your role as a trustworthy leader.
Building trust and rapport isn’t just beneficial; it’s essential. It paves the way for open, honest conversations, especially with members who might become challenging down the line. Think of it as maintaining an emotional bank account with each member. Every interaction is a chance to make a deposit, ensuring that you never dip into the negatives.
So, what’s the big takeaway? Your attitude, the way you conduct yourself, and the standards you uphold are the heartbeat of your community. Be the coach who not only sets the bar but also inspires everyone to reach for it. Your attitude isn’t just a part of the job; it defines the entire experience for your members.
Let’s strive to be a positive role model for your members. It’s all about the attitude. Bring your best, and watch as it elevates not just your sessions, but your entire community.
