I had a fabulous time last week accompanying my colleague, Jody, to a sales presentation for a large-scale coaching program that would involve many coaches. During the presentation, Jody was asked, “Why do you think that everyone needs a coach?”

Without missing a beat, Jody replied simply:

It’s hard to see the label when you are inside the wine.

Coaching is an opportunity to work with a professional to achieve your career goals, to take your business to the next level, and to reach your personal goals.

None of us know how we are perceived by our colleagues, and yet having that information is critical to our success. Having a coach helps enormously.

Have you ever used a coach?
