I spent most of my career in technology, so I became accustomed to having the industry change very quickly. I appreciate that the professional coaching industry doesn’t move at quite that pace. Chasing waves of tech can get crazy.

When it comes to supporting my clients, I could argue that what we learn today is basically the same as it was three years ago. Or thirty. Or 300, for that matter. Because it’s about listening, helping them think through issues, and to chart a course forward.

I imagine that 300 years ago the role of a coach was performed by the wise elder or good friend. And the relationship was described as “wisdom” or “helping.”
