We all possess a level of confidence. You need to ask yourself how confidently fit you currently are and what you can do to train yourself to be more confident. See failure as an opportunity to learn and to grow. Without missteps, it’s hard to keep climbing.   BEST MOMENTS “Fundamental to coaching and I’ve been asked ‘What’s the most effective tool?’ and all of that, and my answer is always going to be active listening, and I think the key to that is active”. “I always say with clients and through the coaching process, is structure or any of these things that we work on, it’s about creating a climbing frame not a cage”. “Everyone always likes to tell you that buying and selling houses is one of the most stressful kinds of life experiences that we go through, and you have the opportunity to make that calm for someone as much as possible”.   VALUABLE RESOURCES Leadership Revealed Podcast Castledene Sales & Lettings   ABOUT THE HOST John has several Estate and Letting Agencies in the North-East of England.
