There are few things that are as important as leading your life well.  Many people are searching for a well-balanced life.  But what is a well-balanced life?  How do you obtain work life balance?

I get asked this question quite frequently when I speak, perform workshops, or do individual coaching.  No matter the topic, the idea of having balance in one’s life usually always comes up.  You may have the same question while reading this blog.

Life has a way of bringing you the unexpected.  How many times have you had a busy schedule only to find one more thing added to it?  Have you ever made plans for a meeting, dinner, or an event only to find that it was cancelled?

First, let me say that life is a balancing act.  Also, no one will ever get their life balanced.  Having a well-balanced life first start with understanding that balance is a state of mind.  It’s understanding that life is never stable but always in motion and ever-changing.  There is no way to equally or evenly distribute everything in your life.  A balanced life is bringing all the things of your life into harmony.

To bring balance and harmony to your life there has to be a realization one of the most important life skills.  One of the most important life skills is to be coachable.  One of the best ways to bring harmony to your life is by being coachable.   Harmony is the ability to move forward.  Moving forward can be very difficult if you are not coachable.

Are You Coachable?

The best leaders are always open to feedback.  One of the best ways to move forward in life is to be coachable.  Coachable leaders are always have a strong burning desire to continuously improve skills and abilities.  Not only are these leaders coachable, but they are also humble.

No matter your age or experience, you should be a coachable leader.  The most successful leaders are coachable because they are constantly seeking out more successful strategies to move forward with their lives.
