 I feel so
smart!
For almost four years we've been saying
that in the emerging workforce, coaching
skills will be the most important tools for
leaders of the future. In fact, Greystone
Guides offered our first
Coaching Tools for Leaders training in
February 2004. The Coaching Tools for Leaders
course has had the same purpose from the
beginning—to put professional coaching
tools in the hands of non-coaches, managers,
supervisors, and leaders.
We have been saying it and acting on it since
2004, and
it turns out we were right! The future of
coaching is here,
and it’s not that everyone has a coach.
It’s
that everyone is a coach.
Last Sunday on 60 Minutes, the experts
agreed! (Watch the
video.) When dealing with the new workforce,
called
the Millennials, the manager must focus on
"coaching rather than bossing." The story
also emphasized that these workers are vastly
different from even the generation before
them. They need—no, they demand—a
different work environment that has a certain
quality to it.
“If you are a leader and
want to be
more successful in the future, the answer is
simple. Learn to coach.”
—Joe B.
Technical Manager, Specialty Chemical
Company
We addressed this very issue in January
2007 in the article “What’s wrong with
these kids
today?”. Read the article for some
practical,
simple tips to help you deal with the
Millennials. In
October 2007, Mattison published a white
paper on the vital role of coaching in achieving
superperformance.

As this newsletter is being published, there
are more
than 1,500 job openings just in the Houston
area that
require the candidate to have coaching
skills, according to Indeed.com.
Who’s teaching all those people to coach?
We are. In the last four years,
we’ve
trained hundreds of non-coaches—managers,
entrepreneurs,
supervisors, even CEOs—to use a robust yet
simple set of coaching tools to stop bossing
and start
coaching. In conjunction with the University of Houston
Executive Coaching Institute, we offer
public and
customized in-house training, specifically and
carefully designed to help you stop bossing
and start
coaching.
Greystone Guides also offers trainings in all
applications of professional coaching: through our programs, you can find a
coach, become a coach, or learn to coach. If
you are curious about having a coach,
learning coaching skills, or becoming a
professional coach, contact us for a
complimentary consultation.

New for 2008:
Business Strategy for Women Series
Women have many
strengths that serve them in business: A cooperative
nature, an understanding of the value of community,
the ability to think in a web.Often what is missing from the equation is
strategic thinking. In 2008, we’ll offer a
series of classes, workshops, and teleclasses
that will address the question, How I do I keep my
business or career authentic and add powerful strategic
plans that leverage my strengths?

Part coaching, part rant, part comedy, and all value—
The free-for-all, no-holds-barred,
Mattison-unleashed
discussion of sales, marketing, entrepreneurship,
business,
leadership, coaching, or anything else (politics
aside) that
strikes her fancy.
This is not for the faint of heart. If you
are looking for
ordinary, traditional, or nurturing stuff,
this is
not the
place—we have other products for that.
This is a no-commitment, no-agenda,
no-guarantee,
once-a-month discussion with Mattison. Bring your
curiosity,
your
sense of adventure, and your sense of
humor—you're
going to
need it. Any of you who have seen or experienced
Mattison
unleashed know it is a sight to behold. It is her
brilliance.

other ways.
