Coaching Careers Evolve
from Curious and
Interesting Paths |
|
|
In this year-end issue of Today's Coach, we
spotlight the curious and interesting paths that have led
people to the field of coaching.
We believe that many of you will find something in common
with the coaches you read about here. You may even discover
through your own life experience, that you, too, have gained
the special, and sometimes unusual aptitudes that would
make a fine coach, and you may decide that it's time for
you to get professional training as a coach yourself.

In this issue, Today's Coach
spotlights the curious career paths of 19 coaches.

From
the Editor:

In putting this issue together, we
were inspired by the many stories you're about to read
about the fascinating, often challenging journeys that
have molded and prepared the people that make up this
special profession. We'd like to officially thank those
who have contributed their stories. Whether we were able
to include your story in this issue or not, we acknowledge
and appreciate your willingness to share so much about
yourselves.
Coaches are significant contributors to the human family,
and we are happy to be able to present some of their stories
to you here. On
behalf of the Today's Coach staff, we'd like to wish you
all a safe and fulfilling holiday season. We'll see you
again early next year!
Oh and by the way, did you notice our new look? We've
been circulating for around 18 months now and the staff
felt it was time to upgrade our style. What do you think?
We welcome your input, ideas, and preferences. Please,
let us know by e-mailing your comments to steve@coachu.com.
