As a celebration to the amazing group of coaches in our practice, I am dedicating this month’s blog posts & newsletter to coaching. I’ve learned the value of coaching from personal experience – and am intentional about having coaches support me in my business and personal growth. I’ve seen the difference great coaching can make – in both personal and organizational performance.
I encourage you to subscribe to our blog & newsletter – and also to consider if one of our coaches might be just the thing you need to take your performance to the next level.

We are a sports-crazed nation in the US. We love our teams and the competition and all the festive rituals that accompany game day. We admire the great performances of athletes – yet fail to make the link between what they do to improve performance and how we might do the same in our professional careers.
Take a look at any sports team, from high school through pro, and you’ll see a common denominator. There are lots of coaches. And the players expect those coaches to teach, encourage, support, exhort, observe, provide feedback, and stay focused on making each athlete achieve their top potential. And the better the athlete, the more coaching there is.
In business, we tend to overlook the need for coaching, especially for high performers. In fact, these are the individuals that will flourish with support, encouragement, challenge and feedback. Coaching is like putting fertilizer on a healthy plant – resulting in better yield – in the short and long term.
