Are You Coachable?

by | Oct 28, 2016 | News and Updates

While watching a special on Olympic athletes, I was struck by one athlete’s response when asked about the difference between him and others who didn’t make it to the Olympics. Instead of boasting about his abilities, he attributed his success to being coachable. He emphasized that even small improvements could make a big difference in highly competitive fields.

This got me thinking about how listening to coaches could improve various aspects of life. For instance, following my doctor’s advice could lead to better health. Listening to my wife helps me avoid social faux pas, and heeding my boss’s guidance increases my chances of a promotion. Similarly, taking advice from a financial planner can pave the way for a secure financial future.

Yet, despite knowing it’s in our best interest, many of us struggle to listen. As someone who specializes in Social Security optimization, I’ve seen how beneficial coaching can be. Social Security is often the largest retirement asset for Americans, yet only a small percentage maximize their benefits. Hiring a coach to improve benefits is a wise decision for the majority.

Just like top athletes seek coaching, we too can benefit from guidance. No matter how prepared we feel, there’s always room for improvement. I’m here to help make the process easy and ensure you get the most out of your hard-earned benefits.
