Media Quotes

"Coaching is the single most important part of expanding others' capabilities.  You've surely heard the saying, 'Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day; teach a man how to fish, and you'll feed
him for a lifetime.'  That's coaching.  It's the difference between giving orders and teaching people how to get things done. Good leaders regard every encounter as an opportunity to coach."  

Larry Bossidy's "Execution, The Discipline of Getting Things Done"       

"Companies offer coaching as a prerequisite to proven managers, in the understanding that everyone can benefit from a detached observer."

The New York Times

"More and more folks are finding that nothing beats having your own personal Bela Karolyi to help negotiate the balance beams and the uneven bars of life."

Time Magazine, Fall 2000

"Executive coaches are not for the meek. They are for people who value unambiguous feedback. All coaches have one thing in common, it is that they are ruthlessly results orientated."

Fast Company Magazine

"Between 25% to 40% of Fortune 500 companies use executive coaches, according to a recent survey by an international human resources consultancy."

The Hay Group (USA) 1999
