On Coaching

Coaching in the business world can fine-tune an employee's skills, allow invaluable one-to-one time and remind the person being coached of their importance to the business. So why don't we as managers and leaders do more of it? Get out there and coach, that is? Of course there's the standard excuse: 'no time'. But the reality? The truth? To become a good coach you need to start learning a lot about yourself. If you can really help someone with their procrastination...well..we need to sort out our own. To help someone overcome her fear of change...well...what exactly are we scared of? Coaching is great for those in the team, true. But it makes awesome leaders of us, too. Get on the path of becoming a great coach. Soon.
