I write about the stuff that actually gets in the way of leading well — the blind spots, the habits, and the systems you built that now run you instead of the other way round.
No theory. Just what I’ve seen work with the CEOs and founders I coach.
They Told me I was Arrogant, that Hurt
I’m fat so I’ll act like I think a fat person would.

Warning: do not hire a coach until you read this
How much do you charge? It’s the instinctive first question, it’s also the least informative. Coach is their label, what they are to you is a problem solver or rather a solved problem(s) is the side effect you’re looking for.
Your job when selecting a coach of any sort is to ascertain if they can facilitate that.
