When Coaching Crosses Over and Prescribes
There is a struggle among coaches and within the notion of coaching, itself, over the issue of “prescription.” Just how much prescription/direction is the coach supposed to provide the client? Is any suggestion a “leading of the witness?” It is not an easily resolved issue. And I struggle with it, as well. That’s why, for the most part, I tell my clients I provide a bridge between coaching and mentoring.

Sending Coaching Clients To Make Their 1st Impressions

John Reddish — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:09:15 -0400

Recently, I read a blog post by uber-blogger, Chris
Brogan. He made some great points on

The OK Factor in Coaching

John Reddish — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 17:32:43 -0400

Everyone agrees coaching is about helping you perform better – whether it’s on the job, at home or on a playing field. You bring the talent, intellect and desire.

Underlying all performance improvement, though, is the notion of whether or not you feel whatever success you achieve is OK.

Top Dogs Are Lonely: Confessions of A CEO Coach

There are no pressures greater and no challenges as complex as those that come with the CEO position. And the job is often a lonely one.

Executive coaches arre now commonplace in organizations, particularly at the top levels. My experience for the past decade as a CEO coach has been an energizing and rewarding one. The role of the CEO coach is unique, because the job of the CEO is unique.

Coaching to be Better, and to Move Over, Up and On

John Reddish — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 15:16:03 -0400

Coaches help their clients "move." Move to perform better, move up to new responsibilities or a bigger job. Seldom (except for entrepreneurial succession) has moving on been a key part of the agenda. Today, however, helping clients accept moving on as their best, and perhaps only, alternative, and helping the client make it happen is challenging coaches in new and creative ways.

Robert Skrob — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 08:39:56 -0400

Stephen McGhee — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 14:40:56 -0400

I remember my first real job. I was sitting in the new employee orientation program. I was wearing my new uncomfortable shoes. Man, they were shiny. Hurt like hell…but shiny new…a moment in time…dreams of being extraordinary. The President of the Bank came in to talk with us. His shoes were even shinier than mine.
