We recently connected with Tyrone Jones and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Tyrone thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you recount a time when the advice you provided to a client was really spot on? (Please note this response is for education/entertainment purposes only and shouldn’t be construed as advice for the reader)

My clients often come to me and ask me for advice on their situations. They seek advice on what to do. How to do it. Should I do it? Can I do it? As well as many other areas where guidance is wanted.

Depending on the situation, my response is often the same. I ask them a simple, straightforward question. I ask them, “what would you advise your child to do if they asked you the same questions you’re asking me?” Take the advice you would give them and apply it to you and your situation.

We often know what we may need to do or how to do it to handle our situations and problems, but we don’t always do what we know to do or need to do. Our wants and feelings tend to keep us from doing what needs to be done. Keeping that in mind, we must begin doing what we already know and not let ourselves be overcome by that feeling inside us wanting to have us do differently and not always getting the desired or best results. Doing it may not always be easy, but the answer and results are worth it.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Coaching and Mentoring are titles given to me. I appreciate and respect them, but they don’t fully capture what I do. The services that I provide exceed the titles. Let me share a quick understanding story. When I was younger, I had a great older friend who took me under his wing and taught me a lot in life. His teachings were based on what I needed to learn to make me a better man personally, professionally, and in my relationship. They were visually shown by his actions and verbally stated to me through his words. He gave me directness, empathy, patience, and, most of all, understanding.

I viewed him as a family member and friend. Still, most of all, I considered him someone who took the time to truly and genuinely care about me to become a better me in my personal, professional, and relationship life.

The relationship that we had is what I give to my clients. A Coach and Mentor who genuinely cares about you for your success in life. Someone whose experiences and life lessons can be very beneficial to our sessions. Most of all, you will receive what is needed to help make you “A Better You.”

I have successfully assisted Executives, Professionals, Leaders, Students, and those who want a better life in every aspect they can. Although they give me much credit for their success, I tell them it’s not me. It’s you. I believe that if they don’t succeed, I don’t succeed. And just like you, I want to succeed.

Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?

Experience is such a great teacher. From the lessons it teaches us to the emotions we go through during our experiences. I have found that my experiences in my personal, professional, and relationship life have made me into a better Coach and Mentor for others who are deciding, seeking, wanting, and unsure. They have allowed me to empathize, understand, and relate to my client’s problems, situations, and concerns.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

We all like compliments and hearing how we are doing with our clients. I have had a few clients who have shared about me and my services with others. One of my clients once told me that she would tell many of her colleagues about our sessions and how they could benefit from working with me. I thanked her for that, but before I could finish thanking her, she interrupted me and asked me do I know why she was going to do this. I asked her why. She stated That if you go to a restaurant and the food is delicious, you first want to share with your friends how good the place is and how delicious the food is. This is how I feel about you and your Coaching.

Her answer helps me build up my reputation for Abeyo Coaching and Mentoring. My client’s success comes before my success, for their success is my success.
