The right coach can accelerate your growth like nobody’s business! I’ve invested in different kinds of coaches over the years from retired corporate executives to mid-sized coaching companies to Tony Robbins coaching programs, so I’ve been around the block.

Here’s what I can tell you after spending a quarter of a million dollars on personal development and coaching: they ALL helped me in one way or another grow smarter, faster and learn more about myself. What I also learned is that most coaches provide what is referred to as “status coaching”. Each week or month, I would report in on what I completed, what I didn’t, lessons learned etc.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with status coaching, I benefited from it for decades.

I remember sitting on the couch and it was the day of a friend’s wedding and I wept because I didn’t want to leave.
