Quote of the Day

"For society, too, there are uncomfortable difficulties: we may not be ready to accept-or pay for- a cadre of people who identify the flaws in the professionals upon whom we rely, and yet hold in confidence wha they see. Coaching done well may be the most effective intervention designed for human performance.  Yet the allegiance of coaches is to the people they work with; their success depends on it.   And the existence of a coach requires an acknowledgement that even expert practitioners have significant room for improvement.  Are we ready to confront this fact when we’re in their care?"
