Coaching is a powerful way for one person to get the advice and assistance from another. I’ve paid money for coaching, and I regularly coach others.
But what is the secret ingredient to make coaching work? It requires accountability and work. That is tough. It is much easier to think that something will happen “magically.” Well, I hate to break it to you, but “magic” just doesn’t happen on its own. There is usually a lot of work behind it.
The secret of using coaching — or any other application that really works is to make it work. I think that we, as human beings, just want to find that “magic” that will make everything easy without any real work on our part.
