Going From a Leader to a Coach

This week I kick off Week 6 of the Inspired Child care Business Leaders Club and I am enjoying every week of Empowerment.

This week’s topic is all about the importance of being a Great coach for your team. In fact, I believe that a winning team has a great coach.

Do you view yourself as a Boss or a coach? There is truly a difference in bringba boss vs a Coach. A boss dictates and a Coach Inspires!

Furthermore, I’m not a big sports fan, however, when I do watch sports; I pay attention to the coaches and how they motivate the team to win.

With that in mind, I want to ask you several questions:

1.Have you developed the coach within you?

2. Do you find your self dictating to your team in stead of motivating them?

3. Have you truly developed the leader within?

Your answers are indicators of your leadership style.

Furthernore, If you need assistance with your coaching style and most of all, help with building a Winning Child Care Team, I want to invite you to join my Childcare Leaders Club. Sign up today!

Finding Inspiration Through Business Journaling

I began business Journaling back in 2003. In fact, business Journaling forced me to reflect and put my thoughts on paper. Back in 2003, I was a new center Owner /Director and I struggled with leading my staff. Most of all, I had many stressful days.

As I grew as a leader, I would journal about my progress and periodically look back over my business Journals to see how far I had come in business.

The day before I wrote this blog post, I was feeling uninspired and blah. So, I began to look through my business Journals to find some inspiration. I am so happy and inspired today because of a prayer that I wrote in one of my business Journals from 2006.

In 2006, the center was struggling financially, and I was ready to quit. However, on that particular day, I found the courage to keep going and I wrote a prayer that I believe moved the business into a realm of growth and increase.

Seeing that prayer motivated me and I was truly inspired to share that inspiration with you!

I shared this post to say this, your business will only move in the direction of the words that you speak and the prayers that you pray. Furthermore, I want to challenge you to find the time to Journal, because Journaling just may inspire your next business decision!

Also, I want to encourage you to finish the year strong by Journaling about this year. Here are a few examples:

  • Journal about your successes
  • Journal about any failures and what your learned from the failures
  • Write down your goals and aspirations for the upcoming business year.
  • Write a prayer for your business from your heart.

Much Success to Your,

Shiketa Morgan
