What does being a coach mean?
What does it mean to be a coach? This question was recently presented to a group of coaches at the Speakers Authors Coaches Summit in Pasadena CA. Great friend and fellow speaker Jake Ballentine hosts this event to help the wonderful community of Speakers authors and coaches help fine tune their craft.
What if you were asked about your profession, what you do for a living, are you a mechanic, a doctor, maybe a server at the local cafe. Well whatever it is if you could answer this question about your work. What does it mean to you to be called by the profession name? Write that in the comments and let us know.
While at the Speakers, Authors, Coaches Summit I asked those attending if they would answer this question What does being a coach mean to you. Below you can read some of the responses that were shared.
