A cheat code to development and growth
A cheat code to development and growth
Development expectations in consulting are insane, and they grow at an extreme pace. It is hard to develop well on your own. That's why coaching can be your hack.
Imagine skiing for the first time in your life on one of the most dangerous slopes in the Alps.
Here’s what happened.
Five years ago, I went skiing with my friends.
I couldn't find an instructor because we arrived late.
Impatient and eager, I decided to ski alone.
I just followed my friends, experienced skiers.
How hard can it be? I thought.
A big mistake!

I was falling constantly, cursing and embarrassing myself.
As a result, I spoiled my whole week in the Alps because I injured my knees.
It was supposed to be a fun and memorable vacation, but it turned into a week of pain, suffering, and regret.
This skiing experience completely changed my approach to learning.
To be honest, before that, I used to be scroogey and wasn’t willing to spend any money on coaches or learning. I was confident I could figure things out on my own.
Finally, it got through my thick skull.
Coaching is a cheat code to fast learning.
It saves a lot of time and pain.
Now, whenever I want to learn a new skill, I seek a coach to accelerate my learning.
It's like having a navigator in unfamiliar territory—you can still explore but are less likely to get lost.
Since then, I've worked with coaches in various aspects of my life:
🏃🏻 Triathlon;
🥊 Boxing;
🎤 Public speaking;
📝 Writing;
💰Business building;
Looking back, I realize how much I needed a coach when I was a consultant.
For the first few years, I was clueless about what I was doing, so I tried to reinvent the wheel.
But, I couldn't find a 'consulting instructor' who could help me. My work leaders were too preoccupied with their own careers. And there weren’t any external coaches I could trust, or at least I couldn’t find them.
Eventually, I figured it out on my own. But at what cost?
Lost time, opportunities, and nerves.
The consulting profession is like a multi-dimensional chess game - complex, with many variables and factors to consider.
Having an experienced guide can help you improve your game and accelerate your time to impact.
So, don't try to ski through dangerous consulting slopes without coaching support. Every mistake can throw you off your trajectory and keep you in a world of pain.
