Today’s episode is in response to a question that I got as a result of a recent blog post I wrote on coaching to attitude. The question: Isn’t attitude a form of behavior?

When I get this question, my answer always starts with another question: “What are they actually doing, what is their behavior?” And I ask this question to help people see the truth. Watch this short video to learn what I mean.

You can’t coach attitude, but you CAN coach the behaviors that lead to the changed (and the perception of the changed) attitude.

If you want to coach on attitude, coach on the behaviors you see, not the attitude you imply. @KevinEikenberry (TWEET IT)
