[00:00:00] Melissa Pang: Why Coaching?? It's something we talk about all the time at the Entrepreneur's Source, in general, it's just a part of my everyday vernacular. And what about if you were to look at coaching in this way, coaching can help individuals become the heroes of their own journey. The last time we heard about the hero's journey was probably like an English class in 10th grade. But it applies in today's world as well.

[00:00:30] Like when I think about coaching, I think about the hero's journey. The heroes has this call to adventure and they embark on this journey and they head into unknown uncharted waters. And oftentimes there's a guide on the way they meet different individuals who are helping them kind of navigate through this unknown, um, through this unknown territory and helping this person get to a point of revelation where they all of a sudden, you know, come to understand something new, they learn, they acquire new knowledge, they achieve some kind of, some level of transformation, and then they can return back to where they were. But they're a new person. They can return back to where they are, but they have acquired something on that journey, whether it's, yeah, again, knowledge or sometimes, you know, this object or whatever it is. So it's a hero's journey. How can a coach help along that way? How can a coach helps an individual become the hero of their own journey?

[00:01:32] I think a lot of times people don't even realize that they are on a hero's journey. People don't understand that they can be the hero. And so they're just kind of going along, um, going with the flow and. You know, nothing's changing and maybe they're wanting change, but they don't know how to get there. A coach can help someone navigate through that unknown territory and help that person get from one step to the next, to the next and move forward and figure out, okay, which path do I wanna go on? Where's the right way to go? How do I even get the education? How do I get the knowledge? How do I achieve, um, you know, and complete this mission or whatever it is, a coach can be instrumental in that. And so. If you are working with individuals, whether that's clients, candidates just in general, and you are the kind of that mentor and guide for someone, how can you help them become the hero of their own journey so that they can reach that point of revelation or transformation? That's gonna be life changing for them, probably their family. Friends and that can change the entire course of their future. So it's no small thing when there is coaching involved and being able to help someone go from, um, point a from their 1.0 to their 2.0.
