Coaching Defined
Coaching has been around as an established profession since the early-1980’s. However, it seems that every time I tell someone I’m a coach the response is typically this:
First - a momentary pause,
Next - a quizzical look,
Then - an “ahh” (and somewhere behind the “ahh” you can hear the wheels spinning), Finally - ending with something like: “So what is it that you do?”, “Who do you coach?”, or “Coaching? What’s that?”
