從事了各種,從商業借貸到人事管理,到資產管理,到銷售,到銷售員培訓

its been kind of a nice marriage between the two worlds of corporate banking and finance and therapy
把企業、銀行、金融與心理諮詢結合起來是一個不錯的事情
and being able to sit with clients which I love

That was my favorite part of being in business anyways - is to sit down with clients and talk

So its been great

Whats your week like being an executive coach? 經理人顧問的生活是什麼樣的?
Hottest job, huh?
最火熱的工作啊?
I think its definitely gaining some popularity
我認為這正在變得越來越流行
If you look at the 1980s and the 90s up until now
如果你從1980和90年代看到現在
its definitely gained a lot of momentum and a lot of popularity
經理人培訓已經變得流行多了
I just read myself too that Stanfords doing a huge research on this
我最近讀到斯坦福大學正在對這方面做研究
in terms of the need for executive coaching
關於經理人培訓的需求
and CEOs really wanting this for their companies and organizations
CEO們真的很需要這個資源給他們的公司與組織
which is great because I think people are now seeing the value of investing into the people

it was very few seldom places that you would see it

For me, again, the flexibility being huge
對於我來說,靈活性很重要
During the week when Im home with the kids more, I do the executive coaching

What do you do with your clients?

I think for me its always been kind of a journey I take with clients
對我來說,這一直是我和客戶(一起探尋)的歷程
getting to know them
認識了解他們
having genuine curiosity and asking them
tons of questions
以真誠的好奇心,詢問他們很多問題
My goal is to kind of get to know them on a level where we can strategize together
我的目標是了解他們到一個我可以和他們一起共同策劃的層次
not necessarily making decisions for them
並不一定為他們做決定
but helping them realize what they want and their preferences and their values
但是幫助他們認識到他們想要什麼,他們的偏好和他們的價值
and really teaching those skills to be able to craft their own stories
教會他們如何編輯他們的故事
and making room for things that maybe they didnt see
幫助他們看到他們沒有看到的東西
perspectives that they havent seen before
他們沒有看到的觀點
For me, its always about broadening the context
對於我來說,這總是關於讓視野變得更寬廣
Its not just one little area that theyre looking at, but looking at the big picture
他們應該看到大的藍圖,而不是只看到小的一塊
Do you mind giving us a few examples - what kind of situation you have worked with your clients before?
你能分享幾個例子嗎?你和客戶一起討論解決過什麼情形?
Oh geez... What havent I worked with?

So its not only about career; its like more broader context
所以你們不只探討工作事業,而是探討更寬的範圍
We are whole people
我們是整體的人
You know, you dont come to work which is part of yourself, right?
你知道,你不是只有你的一部分來上班,對吧?
You come to work with all of yourself

你是以一個整體的你在對待整個情形
and of course, theres personal things that come up

For me, good work would be really
authenticating the person

and making sure theyre being genuine to who they want to be
保證他們保持真我,成為自己想成為的人
and how theyre living and the choices that
theyre making

personally

天哪,所以你所有的時間都在幫助客戶
You know what - because its from home and its flexible it doesnt feel you know
其實我不覺得累,因為我一直在家上班,也很靈活
We dont have commute time
我不需要花時間在交通上
We dont have that stress of like getting to
an office and so it doesnt feel that way
我沒有要去辦公室的壓力,所以不覺得很疲憊
Whats required to be a good executive coach? 好的經理人顧問需要具備哪些條件?
With coaching, you dont really need (license)
作為經理人顧問,我不需要正式許可證
Its not a state license type of thing
它不是一個需要州立許可的東西
You get certified and theres certain different types of certifications depending on what youre doing
但是你可以有很多不同專業的職稱認證
But I think really its just about knowing your commitment level to the clients
但最重要的還是要對你的客戶有承諾
and knowing in the industry
了解他們的行業
For example, I work a lot with the financial industry because thats my background
比如,由於我的背景,我有很多金融行業的客戶
you know finance, lending industries
金融、借貸
and having that commitment to those industries and putting yourself in the shoes of the clients
對那個行業有了解並能讓自己從客戶的角度著想
knowing what kind of challenges they might have during the day, during the
week
知道他們每天每周可能有什麼樣的挑戰
what kind of obstacles that youre going to be helping them with
有什麼樣的困難是你可以幫助的
Having that background knowledge really helps
有這方面的背景真的會很有用
but the other thing, again, it would be like that genuine curiosity that I mentioned
還有就是我之前說道的真誠的好奇心
It is making sure youre asking questions that are going to help this person
保證你問正確的問題來幫助這個人
be able to deal with these challenges themselves
可以達到幫他們客服挑戰的目的
and to build those skills
(幫助)獲得一些技能
Its not just like we throw a whole bunch of skills at the client
我們並不是扔給客戶很多硬性的技能
Understanding that as a coach is really important
了解這一點對作為經理人顧問至關重要
that its not a cookie cutter thing
這並不是一個像切餅乾一樣標準化的事情
You cant apply the same concept to every client
你不能對每一個客戶用同樣的方法
and that youre allowing room for that to kind of craft itself
你必須給他們空間來慢慢建立這些東西
so I dont go in with the set regimen so this is everything that Im going to do with each person
所以我開始的時候不會有固定的教程
Its really customized
而是非常依人而定的
What are the goods and bads about being an executive coach? 做經理人顧問的好處和壞處有哪些?
Lots of goods I would say
很多好處
Again, Im a people person - love to help
我喜歡幫助人
and so I get so much reward from seeing those things happen for people
能幫助別人做到一些事情讓我自己很有成就感
and seeing them overcome obstacles and identifying differently
看到他們克服困難並且有不同的看待事物的方式
So thats hugely rewarding
這對我來說特別有成就感
This is a very private journey for people you know
這是人們一個非常私人的旅程
its just like therapy - its very private
就和心理治療一樣,非常的私人
and for people to open up to you
人們願意向你敞開
its like such an honoring and humbling experience
這是一個多麼不容易的事情,值得好好地尊重並謙遜地對待
I think that the only bad I would say is time wise it takes a long time to build this kind of system
唯一不好的地方就是這個系統需要很長時間建立
People think, you know, this is a great job and you jump in and youre going to have clients kind of at your door
人們認為這是一個很好的職業而且一進入就會有很多客戶蜂擁而至
It doesnt work that way
不是這樣的
Have you ever had any challenging clients? 你有遇到過非常難以合作的客戶嗎?
The word "challenging" to me is a relative term
「有挑戰性的」這個詞對我來說是一個相對性的詞
I dont necessarily see people in that way
我不這樣看待人們
The word "challenging" traps people into the context of "hard to work with", "difficult", "resistant"
「有挑戰性的」這個詞經常讓人陷入「難以相處的」、「困難的」、「反抗的」這樣的印象
all these words that we use in society to describe that situation
這些詞都是我們在社會中用來描述這些處境的
For me, if Im hitting against that in some way, then its time for me to regroup
對於我來說,如果我碰了釘子,那這是我自己重新思考的時候
and to refocus on myself because that means that
我會注重在自己這方面,因為這可能意味著
I havent taken enough time to get to know the person
我沒有花足夠的時間來了解這個人
in the way that they wanted me to know them
以這個人希望我了解他的方式來了解他
or that I havent really gotten the full context of the person
或者我沒有完全了解這個人的全部
and so I have to go back and recraft questions to really get to know them
所以我必須回去重新思考我的問題,使得我能真的了解他們
and what are they trying to tell me
他們正嘗試告訴我什麼
what am I not understanding
我沒有理解什麼
Whats the long-term career path for executive coaches? 經理人培訓師的長遠職業發展如何?
I would say its more in flex
我認為這是靈活流動的
I think for me, it would be just doing more
of the same and with broader knowledge
對我自己來說,我會以更寬泛的知識來更多的做我現在同樣的事情
like you know, maybe taking more classes
and being more certified, and things like that
比如上更多的課,考更多的職稱
and having more access to a bigger community
有更大的客戶群
I would love to, like you know, coach coaches at some point
在一定的時候,培訓經理人顧問
or maybe write articles and books, and thats on my bucket list
或者寫寫文章,出出書,這都在我的「列表「上
You can take it so many different direction
你可以有很多不同的方向
Like I said, if you have a niche
that youre working with
就像我說的,如果你有一個專業領域
If you can broaden that or if you want to switch industries and things like that
你可能擴充或者換專註的領域
Memes 口口相傳
Execuctive coach is a fancy busienss version of therapist 經理人培訓師是心理治療師的華麗商業版
Is it true or not?
這是真的假的?
Oh man! I would say not true
哦。。。我會說是假的
may be true like 2%
可能只有2%是真的
I think, you know, fansy is not the word I
would probably use
我認為」華麗「不是我會用的詞
Its a complete different world
這是一個完全不一樣的世界
So similarities would be dealing with people
相似的地方在於你是和人相處
and being able to relate and and be empathetic and stay in that place with somebody
要能夠與人共情、有同情心、支持那個人
That would be the similarity. Everything else is different!

I highly highly disagree with this one
我非常非常不同意這一點

我不認為有」無所不知「的人,對吧?
Were all in it together
我們在一艘船上
I definitely dont like sitting in an expert role
我不喜歡坐在專家的位置上
I like the much more collaborative role and this is true for my therapy as well
我喜歡更加有合作性的角色。我做心理諮詢時也是這樣
so therapy and coaching, I think I tend to kind of have the same perspective
心理諮詢和經理人培訓,我用相同的方式對待
I feel very uncomfortable making choices for people
為別人做出選擇會令我很不舒服
So people should not expected to just get an answer on what you should do when they come to you
所以人們來找你時,不應該期待你會告訴他們該怎麼做
Dont come to me if thats what you want, yeah?
對,如果你想我告訴你該怎麼做,不要來找我
Its more an open conversation about the choices and evaluate together, right?
這是一個開放式的關於選擇的探討,然後一起衡量,對嗎?
I will say I will do my very best to give you as many opportunities for those multiple storylines to exist
我會盡我最大努力讓你看到好幾種可能性的存在
and to those multiple identities to exist
讓你認識到好多種認知的存在
and that is my job

That is true
這是真的
but you never release it; you never talk about it
但是你從來不會泄露,從來不會說
Yes, highly confidential at all times
是的,任何時候都是保密的
You have to be able to hold that and to hold peoples dear secrets
你必須要保證幫助人們保密
Even to your two babies
就算是對你的兩個寶寶也是一樣
Even to my two babies. Thats right.
就算是對我的兩個寶寶,的確是這樣
Executive coaches are very rich 經理人培訓師賺很多
Not true
不是真的
Potentially true

Jarfa is thinking - am I rich?
Jarfa在想,我是不是很有錢?
I will say its a big spectrum
我覺得這是一個很大的範圍
Yeah, you can definitely have a lucrative business
你可以很賺錢
but to go in expecting that - absolutely not
