It’s one of the great museums in the world: the Uffizi in Florence, Italy. Filled with some of the most famous works on the planet by some of the most extraordinary artists to have ever lived, like Raphael, Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, and Michelangelo.
I went there and wandered around for an entire day. But I missed a LOT of the good stuff.
Because I didn’t have a guide.
A guide would have made the entire experience so much better. A guide would have known where to go and when to go; where the secret nooks and crannies were; where the underappreciated pieces were hidden. A guide would have had that deep knowledge and perspective that would have enriched and enlivened all of it.
I told myself that I was smart and didn’t need a guide.
I was wrong.
A wise guide is essential.
In a grand museum.
In business and in life too.
A coach is that wise guide who can help navigate the myriad challenges of a busy professional career, the roller coaster of entrepreneurship, and the inevitable upheavals that come in times of change.
A coach knows the pitfalls for the unwary; the scary places to avoid; and where the hidden gems are hidden.
A coach is that sounding board with that knowledge and perspective that we all need.
And when things are bleak, and it all seems dark and foreboding, a coach will light the way for you.
Life is better with a coach.
We have some of the best coaches on the planet.
Isn’t it time you had one?
I should have known better at the Uffizi. Good coaches have coaches. I’ve had a coach for the last 16 years. I know how good it is to have a wise guide. Email me. Want to see if the time is right for you to have a coach? Email me [email protected]
