Posted in Quotes | Be first to comment
“If you are irritated by
every rub, how will your
mirror be polished?”
-Rumi (1207–1273)
Persian poet and philosopher
Give more truth…
You don’t know everything.
You do know that, don’t you?
Continual learning is a basic necessity to professional improvement and in many cases it’s other people who will help you get there.
But only if you’re coachable. Are you?
To be coachable means to be…
- Approachable
- Attentive
- Receptive
- Curious
- Objective
- Trusting
- Shapeable
- Confident
It means you must listen with the intent to learn rather than to show what you know. (be no ego)
Get more insight and a quick 8-point check on your coachability.
