Very satirical, I enjoyed reading it! But of course, depends on the #Coach and the #Student. Some students will give coaches run for their money and even outperform them, however some folks have been spoon fed their entire lives, as such need help putting their panties on. Thank you Maggie

Thanks! I think any client can learn something from any coach and vice versa, as long as they set their ego aside.

I don't agree with the phrasing of your statement about 'people needing help putting their panties on'.

We all need help. And if we were taught from a young age that we are helpless, it can be very hard to change. The fact that someone is acknowledging that to start with, takes a lot of courage.

It’s always good to get a non biased opinion of the path we’re following I suppose.

Bias=someone with emotional attachment including financial responsibilities

Non bias=Someone who provides another perspective not clouded by emotion and $

That’s my amateur and free assessment of life coaching

I've seen a lot of opinions, clouded by emotion AND $, which all center around the 'life coaching is a scam and life coaches are unprofessional pricks' idea. Figured it would be good to balance the scales a little bit.

First, I read this because my father was French and he pronounced “shit” “sheet.” So there’s that. Second, after I read it, I said to myself, ahhh, this is why coaches are always on the sidelines and never on the court. Who woulda thunk?

The bad coaches throw chairs.

The good coaches watch their players walk off the court with their heads held high even when they lose.

Good coaches are the sheet.

I don't paywall any of my content (including my podcast episodes) and paid subscribers can ask me a question every month, if that helps?
