Dear Kerri,
What are some strategies to talk someone into hiring a coach? I have a friend who owns a physical therapy business. She’s been very successful for the past few years, but has started to struggle the past few months. In listening to her, I can see the challenges are more related to her own outlook/beliefs/thoughts than they are to the business itself. I tried to make a pitch for finding a coach, but was meeting some resistance. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Chris
