Coachability

8/14/2016

This time of year naturally brings some level of anticipation, but in our sweet small town we have a heightened level of expectancy this year. We have a new football coach and the baptist church is looking for a new pastor. The excitement that change brings is all around us.
  • : a feeling of excitement about something that is going to happen
The controversy and hurt feeling that can come with change makes bringing new people into the community more difficult. 
This morning at church we looked at the book of Titus, a letter written by Paul, full of advice to Titus. The preacher tied it into an Olympics theme. He asked the congregation, "Are you coachable?" Being coachable means you’re open to listening to feedback, able to receive constructive criticism without taking it personally, willing to take a look at your own performance in order to improve it, and generally a super-badass-enthusiastic go getter type of person. A proverb says that only stupid men learn from experience. Wise men learn from other people’s experience. 

An old Forbes article lays out the 5 traits of Coachable individuals and one of the things that article mentions is that being coachable is a risk unless you know you have the right coach.

    Really, I never thought that I'd say, "... table for 6, please." going to dinner with my family. I had plans to be a professor and travel the world. I moved from Missouri to West Texas for graduate school and was just passing through, when I met a man that captivated my heart and held my hand.

    Both teachers at the time, we met before Spring Break, got engaged the day after school was out and got married over Thanksgiving Break. And we shared our wedding cake top with the Labor and Delivery nurses in the hospitial when our oldest child was born. Our courtship was quick and it was exciting. And I don't think that we'd trade any of it for what we thought it might be.

    This magical adventure is more amazing than anything that I had planned.
