Coach John Daly - Coach To Expect Success - Podcasts

“Send Coach John a message”As someone who loves coffee, the “Coffee Bean” book is near and dear to my heart. Found this post from Damon West (@damonwest7) “Integrity isn’t proven in public, it's revealed in private when no one is around. Be the same person either way. That’s how you change the environment.”  He’s right on target with this for sure. The picture post that he shared said this:  “Anyone can do the right thing when people are looking. Being a Coffee Bean means you do it when no one’s watching.  That’s integrity and that’s what transforms the water.”  Remember the story about the coffee bean transforming the pot of boiling water. The carrot doesn’t do it, it gets too soft. The egg doesn’t do it either, it gets too hard. Wonderful lessons for all of us.  Do yourself a favor and an investment - get a copy of “The Coffee Bean” by Damon West and Jon Gordon.  It’s an easy read, and a powerful book for life!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone

“Send Coach John a message”I found a wonderful reminder for me and others about a few skills that require ZERO talent. This is a reminder from a couple of earlier episodes on this topic.  This is for life, not just in sports. I found it from Coach Maloney (@CoachMaloney14) where he shared this list starting out with “…… Well Stated ……”  about the “10 Things That Require ZERO Talent - Being on time, Attitude, Work Ethic, Passion, Competing, Being Coachable, Body Language, Doing Extra, Energy, Being Prepared.”  What a fabulous list of reminders that we all can do something about these, no matter how talented we are, how many degrees we have, what our job title is, etc.  I know I needed a reminder about these for sure. Just imagine taking a bit more notice on how you focus a little bit more in these areas of your life. I think you will see better results in all that you do when you take these into account.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a

“Send Coach John a message”Simple, yet so very true. I found this one from Stoic Mindset (@StoikMonk) where this was simply said - “If you can’t be kind, be quiet.”  This is probably one of the shortest, most accurate, best advice for many (including me at times)! These were my thoughts when I reposted this - Coach John Daly (@coachtosuccess) “100% on target … so many so-called “leaders” around the world need to take this to heart!!”  Just look at the news cycle every single day and you can see plenty of examples of people that really should just not say much, since they are always blaming others, calling others names, making fun of others, lying, etc. We also know people personally that this applies too as well. Just make sure it’s not you.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twi

“Send Coach John a message”I was listening to John O’Leary’s (@JohnOlearyInspires) podcast before heading to the gym today (find it HERE).  Here is a little bit about what John was connecting to his episode today: “In sharing their stories, my hope was simple: to remind readers that they, too, could be part of someone else’s miracle.  Because what made these heroes remarkable wasn’t supernatural power. It was their decision to use their lives to elevate someone else’s.  A superpower available to all of us.  My hope was that readers would recognize the heroes in their own story—and then choose to become one in someone else’s.”  I am a big believer in small acts of kindness, small acts of encouragement, small acts of listening, small acts all around!!  Listen to John O’Leary’s episode and get back to me to share ideas, thoughts, reflections, etc. Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating o

“Send Coach John a message”I found an outstanding post that I wanted to share with you today. It comes from my friend - Mark Hickie  (@MPHickie)  “Purpose is magnetic! It attracts the right energy & repels the rest. Move with intention, not ego. Inspire some, challenge others—that’s how real impact happens. Stay focused, authentic & let your purpose lead. If some feel inspired & others are challenged, you’re doing it right.”  This is Mark’s take on the video clip I played for you today. You can find the link for Devante Warner (@imdevantewarner) HERE.  Some great advice for all of us to live more towards our purpose, be authentic, get rid of the ego and keep helping others to do the same for themselves! Powerful stuff that got me fired up and I hope it helps you do the same.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://w

“Send Coach John a message”I’ve been holding out way too long by getting more guests onto my podcast episodes and it’s 100% my fault. I’ve been down on myself a bit here and there and I realize now that this is a place where I don’t want to stay. I want to have the confidence and the feeling of being worthy to bring awesome people and our talks to you! I’ve had a few here and there - and I need to reach back out to those previous guests and get them back on for some more conversations. This conversation with Tara is really special. During our talk, I had a huge smile on my face and a few tears as well (maybe a good thing that I didn’t have my video working on my computer). She shares a little bit about her life from youth sports, to high school & college along with her career as a special ed teacher and her family. I love these talks with people that I admire because I learn important lessons from them and I hope you can learn some things too. People have stories and there are lessons from those stories t

“Send Coach John a message”I found an amazing clip that Greg Berge (@GregBerge) posted where NFL head coach Sean McVay shares some amazing thoughts about people having accountability and how it hits differently when it’s rooted in love for the people you have around you. This is not just for a sports team - it’s for life!! Recently I’ve been reminded about this fact and I know that I need to continue to work hard to keep being my best, to do my best in all that I do and to keep improving each and every day I have! Imagine having a drive to just keep getting better each and every day. In your profession, your health, loving your loved ones, your finances, developing great relationships, etc. That’s what I’m going for. How about you?  Listen to the clip again HERE.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachto

“Send Coach John a message”I found a memory that popped up in my social media feed from a year ago. I posted this quote: “We rise by lifting each other, not tearing people down.” I needed this reminder and I know others do too… in fact the entire world does. I’ve had a few comments on the post and it got me thinking about a few things. One is for sure that when you look at the history of our country (the USA), good things happen when we follow this thought! We are inspired to build, invent, create, work together, etc.  Theresa, who is a former student of mine, had some thoughts as to how difficult this can be when dealing with someone who does the opposite of this. It got me thinking about a few things. First I think if we keep being the example of lifting up others (with our words and actions), other people notice - maybe even the negative person. I learned that depending on how well you know the person or are connected to this person, you can actually lift them up when they are in trouble. Life offers count

“Send Coach John a message”From my reading a passage from “Areté: Activate Your Heroic Potential” by Brian Johnson, and it’s all about Synergy. A dictionary tells us that synergy is “the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.”  He shares some great examples in this post from pages 523 and 524, that got me thinking a bit along with getting inspired too! I remember one of my principles from where I worked, sharing this idea early in the school year about our staff being more synergistic and the great things that can come from it. He was right. Any team - even a team of two - that connects with this idea, awesome things can happen. The story of the Belgian horses from this passage says it all. Remember, build those relationships in your life so that synergy comes a bit easier in both the good times and especially the rough times too.

“Send Coach John a message”This post from Damon West (@damonwest7) really is a very powerful and uplifting reminder for all of us. He shared this:  “When I was locked up, I told the guys around me, “When I get out, I’m coming back to bring hope.” Now I walk back into those prisons and they remind me: You said you’d come back, and you did. Because in life, especially in the darkest places, your word is everything.”  Our world - throughout history - has always needed hope.  Now even more so!! This is such a powerful and much needed reminder that we all need to bring more hope to others (and ourselves) - keep your word when you make promises to yourself and others. Your word is also carried in your Character & Actions too. They all go together. We all have our own stories in life - keep bringing hope to others through your story!!  Find the clip from Damon West, HERE.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and

“Send Coach John a message”I was able to connect with two important relationship reminders here. The first came from Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13) “Life's not a solo sport. It's a team game.” Nobody does anything in life without the help of others. It’s one of the truths that every human being (I think), needs to understand. Those that do get this, usually have many more opportunities than those that don’t. The second one came from Alan Stein, Jr. (@AlanSteinJr), where he shared this gem about the fact that loyalty is really created from relationships:  “People are not loyal to jobs. They are not loyal to businesses. They are loyal to other people. Relationships create loyalty.”  This is why relationships matter. This is what life is all about… relationships!  I’ve been finding more and more postings, discussions, readings, etc., on the importance of relationships. My thoughts here on my repost: Coach John Daly (@coachtosuccess) “One reason why always working on improving our relationships is a key

“Send Coach John a message”I came across a great post from Bob Starkey (@CoachBobStarkey) where he shared this gem: “Patience does not mean standing still…it means working hard, pushing forward, taking action — knowing that in time success will arrive.” What a powerful reminder for myself and hopefully you, that being patient still involves some action. I was reminded that while I’m trying to be patient, I can just sit there thinking that just “waiting” will get me through the things or situations I’m waiting on or that those things will be fixed without any effort by me.  One thing for sure, the people in my life that I have good relationships with, they can be there if I need to lean on them. Again, relationships can help in so many areas of life. One thing for sure, I do need to work on having more patience for sure.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this sho

“Send Coach John a message”I came across another post that helped me to “throw another log on the fire” of helping to encourage me to keep going. To believe in myself just a bit more after seeing this post. I hope there is that same encouragement for you as well. The post came from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) and it was this: “The best part of being authentic is that there is no image to maintain.  You will delight some and disturb others, and none of it will concern the truth of you being.” The world is so desperate for authenticity. It’s so rare and that rarity is the key. It will connect you to others that notice it and are intrigued to learn more about you maybe, just to see if they can be themselves too. To me it relieves a lot of pressure. Keep finding those things that fire you up and keep looking to have those things, help you be a difference maker for others!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITu

“Send Coach John a message”Found this powerful and truthful post from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) “Always carry a book with you.”  It reminds me to keep doing what I’m doing. In fact, I need to do more of this! I tend to keep looking for things that inspire and motivate me. I keep learning things wherever I can pick them up. This post brings up some fabulous reminders for me (and hopefully you too) to keep a book, a journal, a notebook, etc., with me at all times. Life does involve a lot of waiting. Here are the thoughts I had when I shared the post:   “Love this reminder …. This line especially: “So long as you live, keep learning how to live.” WOW!!  Drop the mic moment!!”  Keep learning my friends and then keep APPLYING what you learn. Keep growing with it. Let it add up to some of the best compound interest ever!!  Not only to benefit ourselves, but also let it help us share it with others so it benefits them too!  This is truly a commodity of success! Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments

“Send Coach John a message”I found this post that was really eye-opening for many reasons. First was that I’ve never heard this and then when I sat back - I saw the power and the truth about it. Second - I was amazed at the confidence I felt after I thought about this, along with the fact that it’s not just for one day a year we need to do this!  The post came from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) where he shares with us these thoughts:  “March 4th is the only day of the year that acts as a command. To "March forth" means to take action, move forward, and make progress. It's also the only date of the year that's a sentence. Now you know!”  The quote he shared was “today is the only day in the year that tells you to do something: March 4th.”  Wow! At 60 years old - I am amazed it took me this long to catch this one along with the inspirational truth that comes with it. Every day is connected to the same message that came to my mind: Keep going! Keep moving!  Don’t quit! Don’t Give Up!

“Send Coach John a message”I found a fantastic reminder for all of us and it helps us to also be our best to help others too. This one came from Greg Berge (@GregBerge) who shared this quote:  "My parents gave me two excellent examples of... You can do anything you want to do." - Pat Summitt.  Greg shares his connection:  “It's about work ethic. It's about commitment. It's about choosing a winning mindset every day. Don’t put a ceiling on your own potential.”  Not only did his thoughts catch my eye, but I loved the quick clip from the one and only, Coach Pat Summit. Find the clip HERE. My thoughts with my repost were these:  “Powerful message for all of us… we do indeed need more examples to learn from, be inspired by and to help all of us to simply keep getting better & doing better! Thanks @GregBerge for sharing this one!!” In today’s world messages like this are for us to grab onto, lean on, but also to take with us into our own lives. Coach is right - we do need to have courag

“Send Coach John a message”This one came from someone that I’ve been connecting with for a long time and yet, this message is as fresh and powerful as seeing it for the first time. Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) shared this gem:  “The word ‘encourage’ means to ‘put courage’ into someone.  Encourage someone today and give them some courage to take on the day.”  Jon Gordon is right on target with this message. The world needs this now more than ever. You know something… every time I say that “the world needs it now more than ever”, I really mean it!! Also remember, it’s the little things done all around us that add up to BIG things that help so many people around the world. I love this message and I think we can all do exactly what it says!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter /

“Send Coach John a message”I found a great reminder for me and for you and it comes from:  Jaime Boswell (@JaimeBoswell2)  “Champions Know… Our excuses aren’t  special. Everyone is busy. Everyone is tired. Everyone has obstacles. The difference isn’t the circumstances, it’s the mindset. Winners find a way to get it done. Everyone else finds a reason why they can’t. Decide which one you are.” What a powerful reminder for all of us and the person looking back at us in the mirror!  I know I have plenty of excuses … way too often and I’m trying to work on them for sure! In today’s world, I think this is one of the best things we can do, is to take this mindset on!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube C

“Send Coach John a message”Simple one today for sure. A reminder for all of us to just take the time, or find the time, but to MAKE the time to do something good for ourselves! This all came about from our dog yesterday. I was busy focusing on something here on my computer. He hopped out of his chair and went looking outside at our patio, which had plenty of sunshine on it. He came back to me and started staring at me. I asked him what he wanted. He kept staring at me and then little whimperings started being directed my way.  So I knew it was something important. He took me over to the doorwall and I let him out. He stopped in the sunshine on the patio and looked back at me. You see, he loves sitting in the sun in one of our chairs on the patio. But, it’s still February and we have the outdoor furniture put away. But I knew exactly what he wanted. So I got one of our camping chairs out of the garage and set it up for him. He hopped up into it and I went back inside - but he kept staring at me. So, I knew he

“Send Coach John a message”I found a fabulous post from Vala Afshar (@ValaAfshar) that reminds me to keep trying to be my best! These things that he’s talking about are simple game changers for anyone who is looking to keep improving. Check this message out:  “Be humble and kind. You could be wrong. Be forgiving. You also make mistakes. Be honest. Character is a door opener. Be generous. Givers sleep better at night. Be grateful. Luck seeks the thankful. Be courageous. Fight for your happiness. Be yourself, always. You will be happier.”  Who doesn’t want to be genuinely more happy? Happiness is fleeting most of the time. Joy is more permanent. But following these guidelines sure does help. I had a wonderful conversation with a waitress yesterday. She had just turned 30 and she has 3 kids. Her attitude around the entire restaurant was amazing!! I watched as she really took the time to talk to and listen with an older man that I could tell was a regular and how his face lit up with a huge smile for the connecti
