As a Certified Personal and Executive Coach, I feel Middle Management is often forgotten and missing the benefits of coaching. They experience the same issues as Executives, but on a different level. They are managing a team, juggling timelines to complete projects, have specific goals they must achieve, report to upper management, and experience work-life issues they need to balance.

Middle Managers need a safe space where they can discuss their challenges and goals confidentially and without judgement. This is where coaching comes into play.

Providing coaching to Directors, Managers and Team Leads enhances their performance, morale, and confidence, which is a Win-Win for them and their company.
That’s why Middle Management matters.

More importantly, if you asked yourself this question, would your answer be consistent with the answer you gave someone else?

Why is it that we can be consistent when it comes to brushing our teeth, taking a shower, and checking our cell phone, but when it involves being consistent with things that can improve our lives or others we are not as consistent as we should be.

Just imagine what you could accomplish if you were a consistent person all the time, instead of some of the time.

Let’s play “What if” by answering the following questions:

• What if I consistently pursued my passion?
• What if I consistently exercised on a weekly basis?
• What if I consistently focused and worked on achieving my goal?

Now make this specific for yourself and fill in the blank:

• What if I consistently _________________________________?

How much better would your life be if you were consistent with what you filled in the blank? Being consistent gives you a sense of accomplishment and motivates you to continue. When you are inconsistent or sporadic, the feeling of regret or guilt surfaces. This can sometimes make you feel stuck or want to give up.

When I made the decision to have a healthy lifestyle, I had to change my mindset and make a choice to consistently exercise three days a week. Not two days a week and not one day a week. I knew this was not going to be easy with my busy schedule. For me to be consistent and achieve this goal, I scheduled my time to exercise in my calendar like I did meetings for work and my hair appointments.

I always attended meetings and hair appointments consistently because they were in my calendar. Each day when I completed my exercise, I felt productive and knew I would achieve my goal to have a healthy lifestyle.
I have been exercising for 14 years and it is like brushing my teeth. Achieving this goal allowed me to be consistent in other areas of my life. I can honestly say I am a consistent person.

Coach Yourself:

• What is one thing you are struggling with being consistent?
• What adjustment do you need to make to be consistent?

You make decisions based on time. You question if you have enough time. You try to control time. You feel like you cannot win when it comes to time. The truth is that every single day you lose time.

I have great news for you because there is a solution to your time issue. The only way to win regarding time, is to manage your time better.

Here are five steps to help you manage your time better:

1. Managing your time better actually starts when you prepare the night before the next day. This is the most important step.

Coaching question: When do you plan to start managing your time better?

2. Immediately after you eat your dinner, wash the dishes, and clean up your kitchen. This will save you time from having to clean dishes or counters in the morning before you prepare your coffee or breakfast.

Coaching question: How can you make sure your kitchen is clean every night after dinner?

3. Decide on the outfit and accessories you plan to wear the next day. Waiting until the morning to choose an outfit takes too much time, especially when you try on multiple outfits to find the perfect one.

Coaching question: What can you do to ensure that you choose your outfit in the evening?

4. Make a list of the things you need to accomplish the next day based on the time they need to be completed. Remember to cross each completed task off the list so you can see what you accomplished that day.

Coaching question: How much time will you need to create your To Do List each night?

5. Put your keys inside your purse in a designated location before you go to bed. This will save you time from having to look for them in the morning. You won’t have to ask yourself, “Where did I put my keys/purse”.

Coaching question: Where is the designated location you can put your purse before you go to bed every night?

Implementing these five steps on a consistent basis will not only save you time, but they will also help you start each day organized with a plan.
