Determining Your Goals
The following is an excerpt of one of David’s coaching sessions in Top Coaching Techniques.
Client: I love music. I love listening to music.
David: Great. So what are two or three different jobs that involve listening to music?
Client: Um. I don’t know. I just went to a concert last week. I would love to be one of those people who help organize their tour. Yeah, that would be fun.
David: Wow. That’s great.
Client: Like, a tour promoter or just actually traveling with the band. Not necessarily making music, but helping them get their music around.
David: Yeah. Write that down. That would be fun.
Client: Yeah, that would be.
David: Now, when you do your list, you’re going to give them scores on different for each of the jobs. Just write down like twenty or thirty and then go along and score them. One of the scores will be for ease of entry. Some of them will have a really low score, because you’ll be like, ‘Oh, I don’t know how to get into that.’ Other will have a high score, like organizing tours. That can’t be hard to get into. You get hired as an assistant. You don’t apply – it’s just based on how enthusiastic you are. You jump in and get some experience, and then you just go from there.
