In the many years I've been coaching Nonprofit leaders, I've learned a lot of things. One of the things that really interests me is how some leaders are super coachable and they make giant leaps when they get great coaching. And others, even when they have great coaching, don't tend to make the same kind of progress.

What I've realized over time is that there are certain traits or aspects of a leader that actually cause them to be more coachable.

These are traits that anyone can cultivate. It's not that you're born with this and you either are coachable or you're not. Even someone who is very coachable can be more so, and can cultivate those traits even more intentionally.

When we do that, we open ourselves to the possibility of much greater and faster growth. And that's what we all want. We all want to have massive impact in the world, and one of the ways we do that is we grow. We become even more impactful leaders and even more impactful advocates.

In this episode, we reveal:

· The common “default mode” that may be blocking your ability to receive the greatest benefits of coaching

· What’s really going on when you get stuck while pursuing a big goal, and what to do about it

· How inaudible “noise” may be sabotaging your creativity and your ability to “be in the zone”

· Why we fall into the trap of arguing for our limitations, and how to escape that trap

· The difference between productive impatience and self-defeating impatience

· How to stay open to the gifts the universe is trying to give you

If you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders. And I’d be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.

Thanks!
