Business Coaching and FocalPoint's Passionate Commitment

Hello curious reader!,

Let’s keep on looking in more detail at what it means to be a Business Coach at FocalPoint Coaching.

We’re a group of elite Business Coaches who draw on the deep, proven experience and brand recognition of Brian Tracy. That’s why our full name is FocalPoint Coaching, powered by Brian Tracy.

We have a unique and manicured Culture here at FocalPoint, and over the past few weeks and months, I’ve been sharing the defining points of our Culture with you.

If you’re here, reading this blog you have some sort of interest in us. Thanks for visiting. I hope this gives you a better sense of who we are, what we do, and how we do it.

Passionate Commitment is our 5th point of Culture.

Whatever we do, we do with full passionate commitment.

We thought long and hard about this one. Would you believe it started out as “a Passion for Fitness.” ?

During one of our retreats, we began to think differently about this. What if the perfect business coach was not into fitness, but rather, into Gardening, or Bird Watching? What if the perfect coach for our team was more fit than any of us? Perhaps a Triathelete ( we have a few already), or an Expedition Mountaineer? Was our definition too constrictive?

We felt it was. So we changed our perspective. ( welcome to thinking like a Business Coach!) What we really wanted to attract to ourselves, model ourselves towards and hold as our standard became “Passionate Commitment”

With that refocused viewpoint, even more possibilities came to light.

A FocalPoint Coach is a person who is Passionately Committed to:

  • Their own success
  • The success of others
  • Finding a way around, through, over or under “resistance”
  • Excellence
  • Their families
  • Their communities
  • Fitness
  • Hobbies
  • An Industry
  • Volunteering to help others ( one of our Coaches has 40 years of service to the Boy Scouts of America)
  • Being an excellent parent, spouse, son or daughter.

In short, our culture lasered in even more by changing our perspective. We embody excellence because that’s what we think about and move towards every day. Being "Passionately Committed" is the fuel that keeps us on that track.
