Coaching Spotlight: The Gift of Patience
Hiring during the holidays can feel a lot like shopping. Rushed, stressful, and full of pressure to “just get it done.” But one of our clients showed that slowing down and trusting the process delivers the best gifts of all.
More than a year ago, they met someone with potential. Instead of pushing for a quick hire or letting the connection slip away, they stayed in touch. A quick check-in here, a friendly conversation there. It wasn’t about filling a role fast. It was about building a relationship.
When the timing finally lined up this fall, that candidate joined the team. And almost immediately, the company’s patience paid off. In his very first month, their new hire set a new sales record. He even made a few referrals of other rock stars to add to their growing team. These are results worth celebrating long after the holiday lights come down.
This spotlight is a reminder that when you follow the process, you don’t have to cross your fingers and hope for the best. You can have confidence that the right person, at the right time, will deliver results that feel less like a Christmas wish and more like a gift you can rely on.
