Formula for Success Overview

Athletes hire coaches; highly successful CEOs hire coaches; individuals struggling with transitions hire coaches. What is it that coaches really do? I believe this formula, if worked backwards, illustrates the Formula for Success and how effective coaches use it with individuals.

Start with the question: What is it you want? IR stands for Improved Results – personally or in your organization. How do we get IR? Improved Results come by employing positive behavioral changes. We get them by analyzing our attitudes, skills and knowledge; setting goals and then examining our values and beliefs that are affected by our early conditioning (usually negative conditioning).

Your coach or mentor can help you clarify, identify and problem solve through this simple formula (once it’s broken down into its parts!):

(A)ttitudes & (S)kills & (K)nowledge directed by

(G)oals delivers

(P)ositive (B)ehavior (C)hange which yields

(I)mproved (R)esults both (org)anizationally and (per)sonally.

The (A)ttitude development process requires the examination of

(v)alues and (b)eliefs which are fed by

(C)onditioning because 88% of (B) behavior, what we do, is at the sub-conscious level.

How have your attitudes and beliefs affected your personal or professional success?
