info_outline"Being coachable is how you show the world that you have a hunger to get better and are willing to put in the work and effort."
In the latest episode of the John Eades Podcast, John covers 3 practical ways to remain coachable your entire career.
According to Leadership IQ, if you aren’t coachable, it’s also tough to make a successful job move. They conducted a three-year study of 20,000 hiring decisions and asked, Why do 46% of new hires fail within a year and a half? The number one reason from hiring managers was lack of coachability. If you have big career advancement goals, you had better learn to be coachable, and show that trait to others.
What’s interesting about coachability is that it’s not a technical skill or inherent to us. It’s a mental mindset that anyone can embrace.
