How to Receive Respect from Others

By Action Coach Dave Beam
Respect – think highly of; show concern for; show honor
It is another common question that I receive that prompts this article: “Dave, how do I get the respect of my __________. Employees, spouse, customers, vendors, even myself!
The short answer is to engage the law of reciprocity.

Together Everyone Achieves More

By Action Coach Dave Beam
Team Work
“I am a team player and team leader. I do whatever it takes to stay together and achieve team goals. I focus on co-operation and always come to a resolution, not a compromise. I am flexible in my work and able to change if what I’m doing is not working. I ask for help when I need it and I am compassionate to others who ask me.”
That is the statement from the Action Coach eighth point of culture, TEAM. I hear it all the time from business owners; “How can I get people to work with each other and not against each other?”

Education – It’s All About Mistakes and Confusion!

By Action Coach Dave Beam
The Action Coach 7th point of culture reads as follows:
Education"I learn from my mistakes. I consistently learn, grow and master so that I can help my fellow team members and clients learn, grow and master too. I am an educator and allow my clients to make their own intelligent decisions about their future remembering that it is their future. I impart practical and useable knowledge rather than just theory."
Consider that first statement. How do you feel when you make a mistake? Embarrassed? Ashamed? Depressed? De-motivated?
I guess it somewhat depends on the “size” of the mistake!
