Continuous Improvement – Living a Learning Life

Continuous Improvement – Living a Learning Life.

Every day – aim to get just a little better.

Find one thing – just one thing – and strive to learn how to improve it at every coaching session.

Continuous improvement is the very essence of life: to learn, to grow, to find new and better ways of doing the things that matter.

Many people talk about being the best they can be.

In reality this is a myth because “the best you can be” is a moving target. It’s not about reaching out to a specific situation or moment in time: it’s about being committed to questioning and challenging and seeking new directions in everything you do.

The world is full of the temptation of routine: to simply always do what you’ve always done because you’ve always done it that way.

Yet, time and time again we see that the great artists, musicians, leaders – and yes – coaches – reject that temptation and instead live a life committed to change – to difference – to uniqueness.

There was a time when information was difficult to get. Now – information is everywhere.

There is no excuse – no logical reason why every human being living on this planet can’t live a learning life and pursue a passion for continuous improvement. There is an abundance of information freely available – more information than has even been available to coaches living at any time in human history – in the palm of your hand which you can access with a few clicks on your smartphone.

Yet despite the logic of living a learning life, many people resist it.

They instead use nonsense phrases like “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” which reflects their contentment with what is – rather than representing what should be their relentless pursuit of what could be.

It it “ain’t broke”………then there’s an opportunity for you to bend it, break it, shatter it, rebuild it and completely change it and make it better.

Continuous improvement is a lifestyle and a dedication to being a bold and courageous leader in introducing ideas and innovations which can change everything.
