Steve's 3 Minute Coaching

About Steve
Today the idea of having a Coach, or even being a Coach, is well understood, but back in January of 1987 there was no (general) coaching profession. The response from most people, upon hearing that Steve Straus was a Coach, was to ask, “What sport?” A reasonable question given that the role of a sports coach is to assist athletes to be their best, to set goals, to excel, whatever their game. That’s what personal Coaches do for people in the game of life.

(Distinctions are subtleties of language that, when gotten, cause a shift in a belief, behavior, value or attitude.) This is an essential Distinction to master to become an effective leader. Some people feel the need to paint a full-motion, vivid-color, emotion-rich story when they want to communicate an idea, thought, or principle. To them the …
S:1404 Principle: Filters
(Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you easier and quicker.) Filters are some of Life’s little simplifiers. You don’t have to learn everything by yourself.
