There are three things, according to Simon Sinek that are important when trying to “sell’ something or lead others. The obvious answer is to tell others what you are selling. Then you explain and educate around how it works and operates. We usually leave the why; why are we selling this product or service until the end of a conversation.
What do you believe about this product, service or how it relates to the big picture of life?

People don’t buy what you do they buy WHY you do it!
Why have I invested my time and energy in professional coaching?
I believe in the power of the coaching partnership to help individuals and organizations fully engage their strengths, choose how they lead their personal lives and organizations so they will move forward to leverage their inner assets for outer success.
I am continually receiving priceless benefits from coaching in my life and business through the work I have done with professional coaches and my experience as a coach to others. It is highly motivating to have a partner that;
- shares their wisdom, resources and experience;
- honors your agenda
- holds you accountable for achieving the results you desire.
