[featured_image]One of my friends sent me a Christmas card that expressed his thankfulness for our friendship. It meant a lot to me personally. And one of the things he pointed out was how much being a good friend is descriptive of a coaching role.
A “Coach”….
..reaches out to another,
trusts,
comforts,
believes in another,
hopes the best for another,
and makes a special difference that no one else can make.
When it’s all said and done, I want to be a coach like that. But more importantly I want to be a friend like that!
One of the amazing benefits for me as a coach is that I’ve become good friends with many of the leaders whom I’ve coached. And on top of that, my own coaches have become my friends. I really like that!
