Becoming the Person You Always Wanted to Be

Last week I came across one of the best definitions I've heard of the impact that an executive coach can have. "It's the coach's job to tell you what you don't want to hear, and show you what you don't want to see, so you can become the person you always wanted to be." Being a CEO or business owner is a tough job. It can be frustrating. It can be exhausting. And it can be lonely. A recent Vistage white paper called "The Seven Biggest Mistakes CEOs Can Make" is a treasure trove of wisdom to help leaders stay out of trouble. One common mistake is not finding a good guide. People don't think twice about getting a personal coach or guide for golf or tennis, for cooking or planning a vacation, even for raising their kids,. Why not a coach for something as important as your business? It's a game changer. In this podcast you'll discover five ways that coaches bring value.
