Business Coaching
People do things for two reasons … to maximize pleasure and minimize pain.
Don’t’ want to have Alzheimer’s … otherwise known as Type 3 Diabetes … when you’re 60? Then don’t eat sugar and empty carbs. Pain averted.
But wait. Eating sugary baked goods definitely maximizes pleasure in the moment.
Choices!
So, which will it be?
A strength taken to an extreme becomes a weakness.
You see examples everywhere. We’re all at risk.
The decisive person misses a critical detail by acting too fast, while the careful analyst is paralyzed by over-analysis and the inability to make a decision.
Someone who is good at handling details herself becomes a dreaded micromanager when asked to supervise others.
Someone who is easy going, able to go with the flow and roll with the punches gets taken advantage of by people who know he’s accommodating to a fault and won’t stick up for himself, because he hates confrontation.
What’s that have to do with us as service providers?
