Hi everyone it’s KeriTV! Happy Tuesday! And I'm super inspired about this video today because of last week and how amazing my coach was and I wanted to share a little bit about why coaching is so great, so stay tuned.

Okay so, just to clarify, my video series is not just about buying and selling property or investing or Los Angeles. The reason I called it KeriTV and thank you Stacey Flannigan, is I like to talk about all things that are in my life. Well, thanks I guess to anybody watching who cares about my life. Giving back on real estate tips on buying and selling, investing, renting , etc. But also just what it’s like in my world. The people I know, the business I go to, the clients I know, professionals I work with and just sharing all of my world. So thanks everybody for watching and today’s episode about coaching is inspired by last week.
So I coach with the Tom Ferry organization and it’s not about the coach you have, I think it’s just about a coach. So I get questions a lot, emails, texts, DM’s, phone calls. Should I get a coach? Does coaching work? What do you think? Coaching is not (like anything in life) some magic pill that you take and you’re healed or your successful or whatever. Everything takes work and as anyone knows who is a real estate agent, you’re your own business owner, you’re an entrepreneur. There’s no manual, hey go out and do this and it’ll happen, you know, like Forrest Gump.
So having somebody that can help you out that’s trained to coach people and be a leader is very beneficial. Now I want to dispell some of the myths that come with coaching. Most people think oh a coach is just rah rah rah, motivate you, make you accountable, and tell you that you’re doing a great job. Well sure, yeah, you can get a coach every week and get on the phone and say hey you woke up today, good job. I gotta tell you, my coach has never ever gotten on the phone with me and said go make some calls, go call some clients.
I’m in coaching because it’s all about leveling up my entire lifestyle. Some of the myths about coaching are that it’s just to have a cheerleader, it’s definitely not. It's a very high-level experience. There are people who believe in coaching, which I think you should have a coach, you should have a nutritionist, a stylist, a therapist, well everyone needs a therapist. Maybe just me. Anyways, I’m all about having specialists in your life to make your life better.
Some of the reasons why I’m so obsessed with coaching is because they take a look at where you are in your world and they look at the blind spots, things that maybe you don’t necessarily see. And they look at how you can fix those or maybe adjust those or maybe just have an understanding or awareness of them. There’s never been an issue with me with being in real estate so long, 15 years with buyers or sellers. You know I don’t really have questions on how to deal with certain people. I’m very grateful to work with all the clients that I do and of course situations come up that are difficult but it’s all a negotiation and staying positive as I’ve done many videos about.
But what has been so transformational in coaching is one, learning how to be a manager, and a boss, and a leader. And two, of three, changing who I am as a person. John Maxwell’s I think 12 Leadership Rules of Growth or something, 12 Laws of Growth? Irrefutable Growth? John Maxwell. That made me understand that to change your world and your success, you change yourself. Changing myself, my daily routine, my habits, everything that makes me me. And then also the people I’ve been introduced to through these coaching programs. So not only am I trying to be a better person and a better influence every day, but I’m learning how to level up in my business and how to grow and to work and inspire others to work with me and help my clients as well.
My advice to everybody out there whoever asks should I get a coach? Heck yeah you should get a coach! And I’m so grateful for last week, we had such a transformational session with my coach and really digging into some things that I didn’t realize. And you don’t know what you don’t know, so unless you have someone that is there helping you along the way, it’s hard to know what to do next, which way to turn. It’s not a plan, it’s not a roadmap, but it’s just learning, how do I better communicate? How do I better serve? How do I better lead? How do I better make a culture where people want to come to work every day. Right? A lot of people, oh boohoo Monday or oh can’t wait for it to be Friday. If I ever said that, nobody would want to work with me, right?
So this is a shout out today to all things KeriTV, in my world. I love to share about why I am the person I am, why I love working in real estate, why I love the people that are in my life, and I’m so grateful. So it’s not about who you coach with, I love Tom Ferry organization, I also love Steve Shull, I followed Zig Ziglar, I followed a bunch of Brian Buffini, all those people, but work with someone, get a group of people around you and go kick some butt!
So thanks for watching today, KeriTV, see you guys next week!
