Have you ever wondered what a life coach, an executive coach, or a leadership coach does? 

Do they consult, mentor, train, guide, counsel, cheer? What is it that coaches actually do?

Well, different coaches do different things and some of those I’ve just listed. You may have also heard that coaches don’t have any of the answers, but they do have all the right questions.

Yeah, it’s kinda hard to imagine paying someone to just sit there and listen and every few minutes ask an “empowering question.” 

“I’ve got friends and family and a therapist that can do all that for me, Mr. Shortcut Man.” I hear you, you do.

The problem is friends and family don’t sit quietly and listen. They want to give you advice and tell you it’ll be alright. And your therapist wants to know where this is all coming from, and they’ll have you looking all the way back into your twisted and tormented childhood.

Ok, we’re not all coming from a twisted and tormented childhood. But some of us are, and those folks really could seek the help of a good therapist.

Coaches on the other hand? We’re more like travel agents.
