Allow Me to Coach You About Something

Coaching, like consulting, is not rocket science or heart surgery. It needs no special certifications or anointing. It does require that the coach have the best interests of the client always in mind, which may require “tough love” at times. This is a professional relationship, not a friendship.

Coaching is readily accepted by strong people who seek to be stronger and more effective. It is often shunned by those with no self-esteem and who fear scrutiny.

The US Open Golf Tournament is currently in process. Great caddies are great coaches. They know the demands of the next shot, and they know the capabilities of the player they’re supporting.
