  Helping People Change - Coaching...

  You're trying to help—but is it working? 
   
   
   
  Helping others is a good thing. Often, as a leader, manager, doctor, teacher, or coach, it's central to your job. But even the most well-intentioned efforts to help others can be undermined by a simple truth: We almost always focus on trying to "fix" people, correcting problems or filling the gaps between where they are and where we think they should be. Unfortunately, this doesn't work well, if at all, to inspire sustained learning or positive change. 
   
   
   
  There's a better way. In this powerful, practical book, emotional intelligence expert Richard Boyatzis and Weatherhead School of Management colleagues Melvin Smith and Ellen Van Oosten present a clear and hopeful message. The way to help someone learn and change, they say, cannot be focused primarily on fixing problems, but instead must connect to that person's positive vision of themselves or an inspiring dream or goal they've long held. This is what great coaches do—they know that people draw energy from their visions and dreams, and that same energy sustains their efforts to change, even through difficult times. In contrast, problem-centered approaches trigger physiological responses that make a person defensive and less open to new ideas.

  Venture capitalists manage to raise and invest trillions of dollars despite being wrong most of time through asymmetric bets—where a few big wins outsize losses by factors of 1,000x. 
   
  In The Super Upside Factor, Daniel Kang draws on his experience as a venture capitalist at Softbank Vision Fund and a Y Combinator-backed founder to adapt asymmetric principles for personal and professional life. He offers a clear framework for maximizing luck and generating outsized returns―what he calls Super Upsides. Through vivid, real-life experiments, Kang demonstrates how he put these principles into practice―from securing a book deal writing just fifteen minutes a day; to recovering from a spiraling plane as a pilot; to raising millions by betting on a pivotal career shift.  
   
  This book draws upon the author's firsthand experience going from no money, network, or looks to a highly successful career in entrepreneurship and venture capitalism. In this book, listeners will find discussion on core concepts like the multiplier effect and black swans; probabilities, biases, and luck, and how to make them work for you, not against you; and tools and first steps to create a "life portfolio" of uncapped upsides and unlimited opportunity.
