I’m sometimes asked why people who have already achieved career success would work with a coach. The best answer is a question. Why does Tiger Woods have a coach? Can you imagine an elite-level athlete without a coach? I can’t. The observation, feedback, encouragement, guidance, and prodding that sports coaches give to their athletes is not that much different from what I provide to the leaders I coach.

Leader or athlete, people who work with a coach are looking to maximize their potential, to improve their performance, and to win. What is the game you want to win? How might you benefit from working with a coach?
