ProDestiny Coaching

ProDestiny Coaching Through my 35-year professional career I've learned how to create win-win work environments through trial and error.

I was able to survive and thrive in office situations and want to help others do the same. The key to success is to focus on the end game.

In Ep #122 “The Rhythm of Life”, Myles Taylor’s father was a disc jockey and musician as was his grandfather. As a result, he grew up listening to rhythm and blues and jazz. He played in his high school and college bands. Those experiences taught him teamwork and discipline. He is using those lessons to hone his leadership skills and guide his life. He is an accomplished musician and educator. His band is touring locally and just dropped its first album last week. He also started a 35-piece big band. In addition to making music, he is also working with youth to help them enhance their talent and give them alternatives to less productive activities. He is a visionary with plans to tour the world.

Work Relationships Matter: Leadership Transformation

- - What is the difference between a textbook and an authentic leader?
What type of leader do you want to be?

While in graduate school I learned theories about human behavior. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People provided the roadmap of how to put those theories into practice for anyone, especially leaders. The book's author used the terms "personality ethic" and "character ethic" to describe the difference between intellectual and heartfelt leaders. Intellectuals (those who subscribe to the personality ethic) know the terms. They motivate for the moment. Stephen Covey calls their interventions quick-fix social band-aids. Whereas the heart-felt (character ethic) leaders understand that lasting change requires self-awareness and the desire to transform.

Ep #128 “Support for a Better Life”, Beth Hassett, WEAVE CEO, grew up in a performing arts family. Both of her parents were actors. She did a few on-stage performances but was more interested in marketing and promotions. However, her real passion was helping disadvantaged and underserved communities. WEAVE is the primary provider of crisis intervention services for survivors of domestic violence, s*xual assault, and s*x trafficking. Beth used her marketing and promotions background to help those in need find and use the organization’s services. She is also instrumental in raising funds. Supporting others to find a better life is Beth’s calling and she does it well.

Work Relationships Matter: Feedback with Empathy

- Have you avoided giving feedback fearing you will hurt someone’s feelings?
- Do you want to get better at giving honest constructive feedback?
- Should you give feedback the way you like to receive it or the manner in which it is best received by the person to whom you are speaking?

I recommend the latter. Giving feedback empathetically is most effective. It requires us to see through the eyes, hear through the ears, and feel the world as others feel it.

Ep #127 “Never Too Late”, Portia High, Real Estate Professional, had an ideal childhood. She was raised by two loving grandparents. She learned warmth and compassion from her grandmother and purpose and discipline from her grandfather. Her extended family and friends are nurturing and supportive. She had her first child when she was a freshman in college which could have been a setback. However, Portia and her grandmother made a pact. Her grandmother agreed to provide childcare if Portia agreed to finish college. Both kept their end of the bargain. Portia graduated and started working. Like most of us she got a job with modest pay, but more importantly to secure benefits. However, she wanted more than a job, she wanted a career. She discovered her passion when purchasing her first home. She was so impressed with the Real Estate Professional, that she discovered that that was the career for her. Although it took a few years to select a career, she is living proof that it is never too late.

Work Relationships Matter: Beat Procrastination

Are you a procrastinator?
Why do people procrastinate?
Hello, my name is The Edward Jones; I am a procrastinator. I deal with it every day. Outsiders perceive me to be organized, purposeful, and disciplined. Believe me, it takes conscious effort. For example, I get up in the morning with great intentions. According to my to-do list, I am first scheduled to pray, meditate, and do yoga. But I pick up my cell phone. I tell myself I’m going to just check the weather and see how many emails have piled up overnight. The next thing I know 20 minutes have passed. I get caught up with sports, entertainment, or political news. Then I start looking for inspirational quotes and affirmations that I can repost on Facebook or LinkedIn. Then I snap out of it when I remember the to-do list. Charles Dickens is right, “Procrastination is the thief of time.”

Ep #126 “Resilience in Life and Sales”, Alex Rachal, Commercial Account Executive, at West Coast Fire and Water, was born to be a salesperson. After graduation from college, he joined an Enterprise rental sales team. He like so many former college athletes was recruited by that firm because it values their competitive nature, discipline and drive. While the work was stimulating the pay was stagnating. He sold financial products for a while, but it wasn’t as lucrative as promised. While perusing the web, an Indeed ad for a position at West Coast Fire and Water caught his eye. He didn’t know that much about the core business; but it was a sales position. With training and curiosity, he learned the business and is now able to sell the company’s restoration services when catastrophic events occur. He is a strong advocate of service after the sale, which enhanced his referral business. He enjoys his work and has the resilience to accept noes in order to get to the yeses.

Work Relationships Matter: Managing Workplace Biases

Are you aware of biases in the workplace?
What are your biases?
All of us have biases. I don’t think it is possible to eliminate biases. As I see it, the objective we should strive for is how to manage them. I have addressed racial and gender bias in previous blogs so I won’t explicitly discuss them here, but you can use some of the information in this blog to work on those issues. I am going to focus on these four biases this week: conformity, beauty, affinity, and confirmation.
