Growing Up...

There were subjects in school that you were ___________________________.

There were classes where time went by _______________________________.

There were certain situations, certain people, and certain times when you were at 

your ________________. 


Like the young boy in the story, you have something inside of you that is trying to 

get _________.


Marcus Buckingham’s definition of a strength is “an activity that makes you feel 

_____________”.

Myth:  As I grow older, my basic personality and core talents change.
Truth:  Your talents won’t change.  You can make the biggest changes by developing the talents you were born with.  

Myth:  Strengths are simply what I’m good at and weakness are simply what I’m bad at.
Truth:  Your feelings are also an important clue to what your strengths are (Matt Borden Example)

Myth: I will grow most in my areas of weakness.
Truth:  You will grow most and become successful by focusing most of your attention on your strengths.  (Deficit Attention Disorder)

Myth: The best team players do whatever it takes to help their team win

Truth:  You may occasionally need to work in an area of weakness.  But your biggest contributions to a team or employer will come when you contribute your talent and strength.

COACHING, CLASS, AND COLLABORATOR COMMENTS

The Purpose of this letter is to describe the benefits I enjoyed from my coaching experience with Dale Cobb. I had a very specific issue, which I needed help getting over the hump with. Our conversations were very helpful in keeping me on track and getting me to the finish line. I believe that Dale is a keen observer of the human condition and has the ability to reflect back an individuals thoughts and goals as one strives for success. I found the services offered by Dale to be timely and effective. In the future, I am sure I will be presented with challenges that require outside assistance. When that time comes, I will not hesitate to call on Dale for his fresh bright and insightful guidance.
