The 3 Rules That Shape My Business

Three simple rules shape my work as a business coach:

  1. I must have permission to coach you. “Is it OK if…(I ask you a question)?”
  2. I NEVER tell anyone anything. I help them discover for themselves.
  3. Therefore, I ask questions. Big ones.
The major questions begin with:
    • “How is what you are doing now working for you?”
    • “How do you know?”
    • “What would you like to happen?”
The real kickers are:
    • “What do you want?”
    • "What is important?"
    • “Why?”
    • "What might keep you from making that happen?"
    • "What are you going to do about it?"
The better I get at my “Three Rules”, the better my business does, the more my clients and I arrive at The Intersection of Purpose & Now.

What shapes how you do business?  I would like to hear from you.
