We All Need a Coach

This one hits close to home and I want to talk about the need for all of us to have coaches. This past week I screwed up. I fumbled, I insulted somebody who's really important to me, somebody who's really valuable....a new relationship. And in talking to a couple of friends about the situation, one of them asked, do you work with a coach? And it took me aback and I was thinking, well, wait a minute. I am a coach and it reminded me that athletes, executives, entertainers, those who really want to elevate their performance all have coaches and why not me?

Go find coaches who demonstrate a vested interest in your success, who will help you think not only about your strengths, not that which has made you great in whatever you're doing today, but really help you elevate that to a very different level.

I'm reminded of Marshall Goldsmith's book, "What Got You Here Won't Get You There". We all can use that bump up in our knowledge and our skills and our behaviors, and it's more evident in your relationships than anywhere else in your life.
