"Our best questions ask us who we are before they tell us what to do."

When the answers we've always relied on suddenly stop working, it often means something new is being asked of us.

This is when our questions matter. They point the way toward who we might become...rather than leading us back to who we once were.

They need time to unfold. In their own way. By honoring them, we are empowered to make better, more reliable decisions about the next right step.

So much of what I see in my profession is a mechanical approach that seeks to change a person's behavior without understanding what drives the behavior in the first place. That's fine for machines. We replace the broken parts and send them back to work. But you are not a machine. And I am not a mechanic. You are a human. And I am a coach.

I've built my coaching practice around something different.
