The world has changed much more dramatically than the coaching profession has in the last 20 years. It’s time for us to reinvent what it means to be a Coach for the Connected Age! Think relational vs. transactional. New technologies and social networks are presenting us with profound possibilities to provide REAL Coaching! BUT we will have to let go of some old ideas that are keeping our profession tied to the Industrial Age. I have been a Professional Life Coach for 20 years and in the last year I have radically “upleveled” my game. I will share with you what I have learned and present you with clear opportunities to play BIG.
