To coincide with the publication of Supercoach, I’ve decided to feature the work of some of the coaches I talk about in the book. In each case, I’ll share what I consider to be some of the most transformative elements of their work. I will also do my best to make clear what is their material and what is my interpretation and experience of that material. Any misrepresentation is mine and mine alone…
What do you believe right now? Take a few moments to finish these ‘sentence starters’ for yourself. You can do this in your head, but I strongly encourage you to jot down your answers somewhere you can find them after you’ve finished the book. That’s because they are likely to have changed so radically by the time we’ve finished our time together you won’t remember them later:
In 1997, my wife and I watched a documentary called “I Want My Child Back” which followed a family from the United Kingdom and their autistic son through a two week journey to a place called The Option Institute in Sheffield, Massachusetts.
Sometimes I am asked if there was a turning point in my life or career – a time that I can look back to as the moment that everything changed for the better. While there are actually half a dozen or so of those transformative moments I can point to in my life over the past 20 years, the one that stands out when it comes to my career as a writer and coach happened back in 2003 while working with supercoaches Gay and Katie Hendricks.
When I first hired Steve Chandler to coach me several years ago, I was particularly interested in having a financial breakthrough. Although I had increased my income for the third year in a row and was already earning well into six figures, each year felt like “another miracle happened”.
