Heed the Philosopher
Ovid said, “Nothing is stronger than habit.” That’s bad news and
good news. It’s bad news in that your life can easily be a mass of
less-than-ideal responses and reactions that you’ve grooved into
your brain. And it’s good news because now that you understand
the mechanics of habits, you can build your own structures for
success. Winston Churchill said that “we shape our buildings; and
thereafter they shape us.” We live within our habits. So shape the
way you want to lead, and build the right coaching habits.
And these new habits can start with the very first thing you ask
someone—which is exactly what the next chapter is about.
