"If you're not learning, you're not being coached... you're being bossed around.
Good coaches want you to learn and think for yourself...
Bad coaches want you to be codependent."
~Dani Shugart
"Getting certified as a coach doesn't mean you've learned what you need to, it means you're ready to START learning.
If you act like you've seen it all as a new coach/trainer, you're in for a rocky career - with clients AND colleagues."
~Lee Boyce
"As a coach, it's what you learn... AFTER you know it all that makes you the best at what you do."
~Ray DeGrendel
