    The Coachable Leader - Blake Lawrence, CEO, opendorse

    The Coachable Leader - Blake Lawrence, CEO, opendorse

    In this week’s Growth Edge leadership podcast episode, I sit down with a long-time friend and colleague, Blake Lawrence. Blake had a stellar college football career, playing linebacker for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and after an early retirement due to concussions, he pursued his entrepreneurial passions. He founded and successfully exited his first company, a social media agency, and is the CEO of a second venture, opendorse, the largest provider of technology in the athlete endorsement industry. Opendorse helps athletes earn more than $100MM each year through NIL deals, and about 125k athletes use the platform every day.

     

    Among the key takeaways from our conversation:

     - there are numerous styles that result in great coaching

     - not all feedback is good feedback

     - the best coaches are selfless - their success is your growth and success

     - ego can be a big hurdle for people, both as they’re coaching and as they’re being coached

     - part of coaching is equipping team members to coach themselves when you’re not around

     - in coaching, consistency and repetition matter

    The Coachable Leader - Coachability in Entrepreneurs

    The Coachable Leader - Coachability in Entrepreneurs

    In this week’s episode of the Growth Edge leadership podcast, we explore the topic of coachability in entrepreneurs. 

     

    Entrepreneurs are often perceived as uncoachable; perhaps because they’re highly visionary, independent, driven, and resolute in their conviction that an idea has viability. To survive the start up journey and build a product or company requires confidence, courage, wise counsel, and high coachability.

    The Coachable Leader - The Case for Coachability

    The Coachable Leader - The Case for Coachability

    In this week’s episode, we explore the business case for coachability, and what outcomes are produced when individuals are highly coachable. 

     

    Like most anything that’s worthwhile in life, being a coachable leader doesn’t come naturally or easily or comfortably. But, the positive impact that’s achieved by coachable leaders is worth the effort.

     

    When we think about coachability, I think it’s natural for a lot of well-established, successful, intelligent leaders to say “that’s not for me”, because they’re already in a solid or strong position. It’s easy to see that station that they’ve achieved in life as sustainable. But as Jim Collins says, “good is the enemy of great.”

     

    Coahability is about realizing that our continued success requires our being open to learning from others, to confronting uncomfortable truths about ourselves, and to working hard to make necessary behavior changes in order to experience next level performance.

     

    The most successful individuals see themselves as an evolving work in progress.

     

    Coaching and coachability result in four primary outcomes; development, behavior change, performance, and promotability, and secondary positive impacts including improved resilience, well-being, innovation, and collaboration.

    Mentor Coach Lead - Coaching for Performance

    Mentor Coach Lead - Coaching for Performance

    Welcome back to season eight of the Growth Edge leadership podcast. This season is all about mentorship, sponsorship, and coaching, and coincides with the release of my most recent book; Mentor Coach Lead to Peak Professional Performance. I am so delighted to hear the positive feedback from so many of you about the impact of this topic and these episodes, and I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the number of you who have already purchased and read a copy, and acquired copies for others.

     

    In this week’s Growth Edge leadership podcast episode, we discuss 

    coaching for performance. In life and leadership, feedback is fuel to inform excellence. But, the farther we advance in our careers and the higher we ascend in leadership, the less likely we are to receive it. The most successful leaders intentionally, heck, they relentlessly, seek it out, because they know that when it comes to blind spots, weaknesses, and biases, ignorance is not bliss.

    The Value of Sponsorship

    The Value of Sponsorship

    In this week’s Growth Edge leadership podcast episode, we discuss how sponsorship is vital to advancing individuals and supporting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging within our organizations. While mentorship is important for development, sponsorship is where advancement occurs, hence it is important for male leaders, and critical for female leaders!
