How to coach anyone in 10 minutes
I believe that the best coaches create the kind of environments that help people come awake, get unstuck, and take the kind of action that will move them forward in the pursuit of their goal.
Coaching can be done by anyone at any time -- but the best coaches have mastered the art of unlocking the resourcefulness of those they coach.
Unlocking this resourcefulness starts with a framework that is totally focused on the person being coached. Coaching doesn’t have to take 90 minutes -- rather, it can happen really fast. I mean REALLY fast -- 10 minutes fast!

How often have you thought of leadership as serving others? Many people I know and work with automatically associate leadership with power, position, and titles. They think of leaders as the people who give out the orders and are typically the ones BEING served rather than the ones who are doing the serving.
But great leaders, the best leaders - and people of true influence, see themselves as servants of those they have been privileged to lead first and foremost.
How Does Happiness Happen?
How does happiness happen? I think this is a really important question to answer. From my experience, happiness is something most people are genuinely seeking. Many of us even measure our success based upon our ability to be happy.

This statistic doesn’t surprise me.
