Coaching is teaching that leads to transformation
“We might possess every technological resource…but if our language is inadequate our vision remains formless, our thinking and feeling is running in the old cycles; our process may be “revolutionary” but not transformative.”-Adrienne Rich
Knowing a technique and using that technique are not the same.
- Do you dislike writing your speeches and presentations?
- Do you dislike revising and polishing?
- Do you think you’re too busy to invest so much in your speech or presentation?
- Do you think that good enough is good enough?
- Do you think that you should keep on doing what you’ve been doing?
“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” -Antoine de Saint-Exupery
