Coaching Insights!

Met TT and asked him when he wants to go ahead with coaching. He shared his heavy investment in heavy-duty development programmes by T Harv Eker and Robert Kiyosaki which would take him till early 2009 and suggested a good time to start coaching would perhaps be after Chinese New Year (that's about Feb 2009).

It seemed to me that TT thinks coaching is just another course to do and, acting as his own coach, he is scheduling it to a spare time slot.

TT is asking "When is a good time to start coaching?".
In asking this question, he shows that his first question should be "What IS coaching?"

Because if he knew what coaching really was, he would know when to start coaching. If coaching were like a shortsighted man wearing his glasses or like daily looking into a mirror to dress up, then wouldn't coaching be an ongoing activity as long as there is activity?

I celebrate this discussion because it shows how a coach provides insights depending on what shows up in a simple discussion that could take place face-to-face, over the phone, or through email.
