Teasers

“Investing in coaching has been like going for a walk versus going on a jet.”

“A consultant is typically a subject matter expert on what they do. A coach tends to be a little bit more agnostic and they can help you get to where you want to be.”

“It's that mindset piece that is really a huge part of coaching and a big part of what I think people miss as being pivotal to their revenue.”

“I never want organizations to tout their low overhead. Do you know what you're also saying? Great news. We pay our staff at poverty level… You can pay people well. You can pay them a better salary and it will make your organization more money.”
