A meme on Facebook shared a wise lesson: “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one.” It is a reminder that in this age of information overload, the value lies in curation not in quantity.
Part of the value of leadership coaching is that people are able to get resources on issues that are vexing them, rather than being directed to a library full of self-help books. Fitness trainers help people develop exercises that target individual needs instead of requiring them to sort through numerous diets and workout plans. Financial planners craft personalized investment strategies instead of leaving clients to sort through the maze of options on their own.
What are you doing to make information manageable for your clientele? Narrowing their inputs may ultimately broaden your impact.
