Coaching Spotlight: Taking Risks, Doing the Work, and Knocking It Out of the Park
A few months ago, an extra special client joined our program. She was brand new to the world of hiring and job descriptions. But from the moment she started, she threw herself into the process with a level of dedication that took us by surprise.
She wasn’t just checking the boxes; she was consuming everything we had to offer. She read my book in a weekend, devoured our intro videos, and tackled the Masterclass.
And if that wasn’t enough, she challenged us on our Interview training, digging deep to make sure she truly understood every part of the process.
This kind of engagement is exactly what we hope for with our clients. The more you dive in, the better you get at the work—and the better your results will be.
She knew when to ask questions, when to lean on our expertise, and when to trust in herself.
Then came the call…
Our client had just finished writing her first job description – a task that intimidates even the most seasoned business leaders. Following our process and using the template, she put in the work, took the risk, and… she told us it was awful.
Nervous but determined, she sent it over for us to review.
Knowing the client, we were pretty sure it wasn’t awful at all, but we cautiously opened the file…
We were a little nervous too. If it was actually awful, we had a lot of work to do to revamp our training and template.
As we read through it, we found… no changes! Sure, we had some feedback – a tweak here or there. But the bones of it? They were rock solid. For someone brand new to this, what she wrote was incredible. She had challenged herself and knocked it out of the park.
Her journey is proof that you don’t have to be perfect to be successful. You just have to be willing to take risks, do the work, and learn along the way. Now, our client is more confident than ever, knowing she can handle this and handle it well.
If you want something different, you have to do something different.
Put yourself out there, trust the process, and prove that taking a risk is worth it when you’re committed to getting better every day. And just like in baseball, sometimes all it takes is a swing for the fences to turn the game around.
