I am asked to define Business Coaching on a regular basis so I taught I would take the opportunity to day to do just that. To get a good frame of reference we can compare coaching to the various other professional services that it gets confused with.

I was listening to the Gerry Ryan show this morning (29th May 2006) on the radio when the discussion evolved around the level of competition that is present in Sports Clubs at all age groups from 6 years up. One caller introduced himself as Chris and is a Soccer coach for a local underage club here in Ireland. In explaining his philosophy to coaching he said, Teach them how to be good losers and they will learn how to be good winners.

Is is not the outcomes that are important. What is important is what you become as a result of striving towards achieving your goals. Value the journey.
