Well, not so good, and not so bad. Which is good, too, because I can talk about the bad and the good. There were some goals I met, some that I downright didn’t, and others that need a little tweaking. So let’s look at what my goals were: Write in Read more…
Physician, heal thyself. Or coach, be a Coachy McCoacherson. Rather than tell you what the coaching experience is like, I’m going to semi-have you experience it from my vantage point. You see, I could use a little self-coaching right now. Here’s the backstory – around Thanksgiving, I caught a cold. Read more…
So, I realized I told you that I was available for coaching, but really didn’t tell you what a coach does. Important information, poor delivery on my part. The truth is that there is no one, standard definition of a coach. Anyone can really hang a shingle and call themselves Read more…
