John Beck: Professional Coach

John Beck is a professional coach.  After eighteen years in corporate America in a Fortune 500 Company, John sought his next challenge.  His next venture was very successful, and while the money was great and the business was a financial success, one of the greatest joys he experienced in growing this business was building his teams.  Helping individuals reach their potential!

Coaching the individual may not be new, but it is, in a way, to policing.  Trainers in policing are very good at teaching technical and tactical skills relevant to job tasks.  But what about teaching individual officers how to look inward to develop themselves in a way that will maximize their overall potential?

This is the job of the professional coach. 

John walks us through examples of how some of the highest-level, most successful business leaders benefited from coaching.  It starts with understanding this simple question.  How are you showing up? 

Join us in the episode as we have a conversation about how coaching can drive performance in policing.  Hear how John talks about what might be holding you back from your peak potential.  Fear.  Not the fear of the physical risks that policing presents but the fear of making bad decisions, or worse yet, the fear of what others might think of you. 

Fear never goes away, but there is a way to minimize and understand what generates it.  Coaching the individual officer will create the space where they can open up and face their challenges.  This requires safe spaces that officers will trust so they can open up without fear of repercussions.
