Welcome To Coaching

Learn what we will do, why we will do it, and how it will positively impact your productivity.

Congratulations, there is much more we can focus on with your coaching experience! This coaching is powerful and effective because it allows us to communicate nearly daily.  I think you'll love it.  Here's how we'll get started.

What we're going to do.

To get your coaching experience started and to help find a find a daily communication rhythm,  please proactively send me your top-3 priorities for your day each morning.

As I'm sure you know, Priorities are simply areas of your life that are important and meaningful to you. Priorities are typically projects you're focusing on at work or home, activities you want to do, or relationships you want to nurture.

You can use these 11 guiding questions to help you determine your priorities (these questions are intended to help you generate ideas, no need to answer each one, only send me your top-3 priorities each morning.)

1. If I could only achieve one thing today, what would it be?

2. What's the second most important thing I need to accomplish?

3. What's the third most important?

4. What else needs to be done?

5. What could I complete today that would make me happy when reflecting on my day?

6. What can I do that will move me closer to achieving my goals?

7. Are there projects or tasks that others own but I should follow up on?

8. What key relationships in my life need my energy today?

9. What can I do to remove stress from my life?

10. What tasks can I delegate to someone else today?

11. Is there a task I'm avoiding that I should complete today?

Why we're going to do it.

"Matt, why do you want my top-3?"  Here are the reasons.

  1. We're trying to create a cycle of momentum and daily forward progress with your top-3. Here's how and why we do that:

First, we know, clarity is necessary to perform at your peak. So, it's critical to be clear about what you want to achieve with your time and energy. By determining your top-3 priorities, you create clarity for yourself each day.

  1. Your motivation is earned each day through the actions you take.

By taking action on your top-3 priorities, you create motivation for yourself.  Contrary to what most people believe, motivation is created by taking action. You do not feel motivated and then act. You act, and then your motivation follows. To prove this. Consider a time you didn't want to go for a run, but regardless of that feeling, you fought through and started running anyway. And then 20 minutes into the run, you feel great, almost euphoric, and you think to yourself, "I can't believe I almost didn't run today; this has been the best part of my day." That's an example of motivation following action. If you waited around to feel motivated to run, you would have NEVER started the run. The motivation to run followed running.

This applies to any challenging task or activity. If you can begin to trust your motivation to follow after you start a task or activity, you'll have a massive advantage for the rest of your life.

By completing your top priorities each day, you teach yourself how taking action creates motivation. And you learn it's a process that you can rely on.

  1. It allows us to find a daily communication rhythm (at least Monday - Friday, you get to decide if you want to prioritize on the weekends).

That's why we start with your top-3 priorities each morning. And that's how setting priorities has helped so many of my clients achieve incredible success. Because over time, when you follow the process (and you trust yourself enough to start and do the work) you create an unstoppable cycle of executing day-after-day-after-day.

How it's going to positively impact your productivity.

We know success creates more success.

And after setting your top-3 priorities and taking action on them day-after-day, you will begin feeling like you are making great progress. Once you feel like you're progressing - momentum starts to build. Because you've begun to prove to yourself that you can take action and accomplish whatever you decide each day. Even if the priority is a seemingly small task, this cycle (clarity-taking action-creating motivation for yourself-accomplishing the priority) creates incremental progress (that you recognize as success). This success leads to more self-confidence and a belief that you can execute on whatever you choose. And when you realize that, you can accomplish just about anything you set out to achieve.
