Clarity, Perspective and Accountability
Over the last year, I coached multiple leaders across a broad spectrum of industries: athletes, CEOs, special operators, non-profit leaders, educators and entrepreneurs.
Ironically, I have little to no experience in most of their areas of expertise (except for special operations – I have lots of experience on what NOT to do in that arena, for example, never try to put a baby camel in the back of a Toyota Hilux). Despite having no firsthand knowledge of their respective fields, we have crushed many of their goals including building personal habits, establishing strong cultures, dealing with leadership challenges and much more.
Coaching is a wickedly powerful partnership that builds clarity on priorities, goals and a path to success.? It does this by asking powerful questions and listening to what is being said; what is not being said and how the client says it.? Coaches provide objective feedback, ask more questions and help establish a concrete action plan.

While clarity and perspective are great, the greatest impact that a coach brings to the dynamic is weapons grade accountability.? According to leaders I work with, ACCOUNTABILITY is by far the most valuable part of our relationship. With some focus and thought-work, leaders usually realize what they want and what they need to do fairly quickly – it’s DOING it that ends up keeping most of them from achieving their vision.? Nothing happens without action, accountability is like high-octane fuel for action. This is one of the reasons I feel human coaches will always have a role, AI will likely never proximate the level of accountability a trusted coach will have (caveat: the T-1000 from the Terminator series definitely could keep you accountable).
Bottom line, coaching helps you figure out what you really want and how to get it.? Then coaches align closely with you to assist in accountability with the plan YOU designed.? Try it for yourself.?
Think a former Army officer with 8 kids (Phil) or someone who led wounded veterans to summit Everest (Brian) would make an interesting coach? Then drop us a line.
