    noiz viol8ion blog #810 – Two Things A Coach Needs To Balance

    There is a push/pull, give/take a coach must employ to be effective. To do this,

    The two things a coach needs to balance is:
    1. Force
    2. Empathy

    Coaching is about getting all the potential you can out of someone. It is about the player reaching new levels they never thought was possible.

    To coach and influence you yourself must have full belief that what you are asking/telling someone to do is doable. When someone has this unshakeable belief then FORCE is applied. This force can be in the form of practice or action that needs to be taken to get the desired result.

    In the moment there are times to push it and times to rest. There are times to double down and there are times to change it up. There are times of strong confidence and there are times of doubt. Everyone has their strength’s and weakness’s. A good coach uses EMPATHY to know what tool to use and when.

    Having a coach can be a faster way to reach your goals. Someone who has traveled the path you are trying to go down.

    When I talk to people I want them to feel like they are respected. To me I define respect as containing multiple qualities. The first quality in respect is honor. Honor is to recognize the history of someone. Unless you know what someone has been through it is impossible to respect them. The next quality is to have empathy. To know where people are currently and help them get to where they want to go. Respect is seeing people for who they are and not talking down to them.

    When you are standing and you see someone you care about struggling then lift them up. Something as small as a compliment can make the world of difference to someone when they are feeling down. They may think their situation is worse than it really is. You can try to show them the light of gratitude, the light of responsibility, the light of discipline, the light of focus, the light of empathy, the light of self respect and self love. Ultimately it is up to them to see the light but what would you want if you are feeling down?

    noiz viol8ion blog #400 – Respect is Paid

    To show respect you must pay respect. You pay respect in the words you say and the actions you take. To truly understand a person, employ empathy. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes and give them the benefit of the doubt. Once the whole situation is understood then pay your respect.

    noiz viol8ion blog #350 – Be a better observer

    See the whole picture and not just from your point of view. Place yourself in the shoes of the counter argument. Be able to argue the other side better than they can. Practice empathy and understanding. The world as a whole does not revolve around you. Everyone has their own version of how the world works so try and understand this the best you can.

    noiz viol8ion blog #311 – Empathy in Leadership

    To be a great leader you must show great empathy. You must be willing to get in the trenches and do the dirty work just like everyone you are leading. You must have a great understanding of everyone’s point of view. To be able to speak intelligibly on other’s perspective you must be able to put yourself in their shoes.

    You do not know what your talking about until you can understand and argue the opposite point of view.

    You must be able to speak their language. You must be able to understand where they are coming from.

    Everyone is going through their own battles that you have no idea about. The best thing you can do is give people the benefit of the doubt and understand they are going through something you just don’t know what it is. Be humble enough to know that people have bigger problems then helping you.

    Once you help yourself then you can help others with their problems. You are more likely to help those closest to you. The better you are doing the more you are able to help those further away from you. It all starts with you though. Use patience and compassion. Practice empathy use time to your advantage.

    Blog #182 – Connect with Empathy

    Practicing empathy will make you a better person. As you practice empathy it will benefit you and help you develop a deeper connection with the other person or group.

    Definition of empathy

    the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner

    Merriam Webster

    Practicing empathy will give you a whole new perspective and understanding. You will be able to understand why people make the decisions they make. You will be able to understand how to help them where they are.

    There is no judgement when practicing empathy. There is only understanding. Until you completely understand where a person is coming from and what they have been through then you will never be able to help someone. You will also never be able to help someone if you stay down at their level. You must meet them where they are and then lift them up.
