Ask the Coach #29

[dc]T[/dc]his is the place where I answer a website visitor’s question in hopes of supporting all visitors through shared (and likely, relevant) challenges, triumphs, and struggles. To submit your question, see the guidelines at the bottom of this page.

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
