384. Chris Williams Master of Group Coach Nation, Where "Listening" Is Revered

My guest today is the creator of "Group Coach Nation" he is non other than the Master Coach Chris Williams. Chris and I start and finish the interview with personal things, our kids, and, what do we love about life aside from our respective career callings. In between there is a whole lot of value and take aways that Chris shares about coaching, mastermind sessions, and general principals of how to share value as a great coach! Chris thinks bios are dumb and made his team write this. He loves his wife and five kids, and loves adventures. Not your average hiking adventures, but more like shark diving, mountain climbing, and driving a dog sled across a frozen tundra-type adventures. He teaches experts how to build, scale, and launch high-ticket masterminds. He also is a bestselling author, ranked as a Top 10 Podcast Guest, and has a top 0.001% podcast. (gotta love the 0.001% podcast reference!)   Quote #1 “It's all about communication. So, And so I started just really diving in on that and because I wasn't a good writer, wasn't good at at at school, honestly, but I could communicate and I could, I could sit down and learn to listen and learn to replicate what people were saying and, and emote back and repeat what they were saying and get the gist of it, and then ask more questions to help them arrive at their own solution”. Quote #2 “So the skillset really is, is really shutting up and just asking questions and letting people get there. And that's, that's the thing I. I really am fascinated with, as a coach, a group coach nation, we teach a lot of that because I think it's so important as coaches, not just to dump our information, but to listen so people can make truth applicable to them”. Quote #3 “And, and I wanna say something to that. One is it's not bad to try again and again and again. Two, get a coach. And if that's James, you're, you're here listening to James, right? You're, you're not on the show for me. Listen to James. If he's your coach, ask him questions like ask your coach questions about what you're doing. Have, have outside voices. Be in a mastermind, be in a community. You can't do this alone. Get real opinions from people who know what they're talking about. Invent the ideas in a sandbox and it's gonna give you a lot more attraction when you do step out cuz stepping out is expensive emotionally, financially, and relational”.   Chris Links:   Website: https://groupcoachnation.com Group Coach Nation Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/groupcoachnation Chris’s Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/chris.williamshq/ Chris’s Instagram Page: https://www.instagram.com/chriswilliamshq/ Chris’s LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chriswilliamshq/ Chris’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJw_LEOQhqJc05GmwBoBc8Q James: Featured song for this episode is "Ride On", check it out on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/track/5VQzjlHv7qZzyZIOSGkhjU?si=eb0d5a683f2e43d8 For a custom-branded song you can reach James at [email protected] If you wish to have an appointment with James about coaching, use this link. www.calendly.com/dharmic Apple podcast review link Please leave us a 5 Star review, its easy to do, and really helps us out to grow the show! https://digitalhealthtoday.com/support/how-to-review-itunes/ Thank you for doing this my friends!
