Life Coaching
Everybody Needs A Coach
That is a bold statement! Maybe we should say, “Those who aren’t doing so well need a coach.” Maybe the healthy and strong don’t need a coach... but then take a look at who made that statement.“Everybody needs a coach.”-Michael Jordan
​
Michael Jordan is perhaps the greatest basketball player in history!
Another time, Mr. Jordan, when asked in a press conference, if he would return for a last year with the Chicago Bulls, said, “I haven’t decided yet, but if Phil Jackson (his coach) doesn’t come back, I’m not coming back!”
EVERYONE NEEDS A COACH​
Yes, everyone could use a coach from time to time... even the well-educated, the successful businessmen and women, and those who seem to already “have it all together.” In fact, 50% of my life coaching clients are just that... well educated, government and other civil servants, career-minded people, and the successful businessperson... successful but wanting more.
​
WHAT DO WE DISCUSS?
So, what do we talk about during these sessions? Lots of things. Here’s a short list:

Everyone has certain problems in their lives. Agreeing with a few of these statements isn’t necessarily bad, in fact, it is probably good! We all have areas where we could do better.
The problem comes if:
A. You have one of the above statements that is negatively impacting your happiness, your profession, your life
B. You agree with more than 4 of the above test statements.
TIME FOR A COACH? HOW DID YOU DO ON THE TEST?
One of my mentors and brain-trust partner said, “No matter how well you did last year, you would have done better with a coach.”And we both know he’s right!
Some well-educated and/or successful businesspeople are hesitant to use a coach, but many years ago when I had that hesitation, my future coach said, “A coach is your quickest way to success. Why risk your future success?”,
It was the truth! I still have a coach... in fact, my coach has a coach! Everyone needs a coach.
