Tuesday Morning Coaching. by David Cottrell

Eight Simple Truths to Boost Your Carer and Your Life.

This is a quick read that I found very inspirational. It is told as a story of the author meeting with a mentor Tuesday morning’s for 8 weeks and each week was a lesson on how to improve his work and personal life.

Here are the key points made that are elaborated on in the book.

No Matter What – accept responsibility and move forward

And Then Some – give what is expected and then some

Consider it Done – be consistent and dependable

Above All Else – adhere to your values

From Now On – learn from mistakes and welcome change

See It, Feel It,  Trust it, Do It – create goals, write them down, make them achievable and measurable

Focus Inside The Boat – pay attention to what you can control and don’t procrastinate

Knowledge Is Power – be a lifelong learner.

I feel like I already do much of this but this book has helped me focus and reinforces the good stuff I am doing…and will continue to do.

The other lesson I thought that was insightful is “Do something different each week”. This is challenging and a great way to learn.

Some good quotes

Most people who are unhappy in life are unhappy because they don’t have goals or a sense of purpose.

Multitask only if you want to multiple things poorly at once.

It’s okay to fail – everyone fails at some point – but it’s not okay to keep failing.
