That's a shocking comment. But a thought-provoking viewpoint from a seasoned business coach may make you sit up and take notice, providing the kernel of truth that you need to make your coaching business more successful, financially and professionally. And it's available to you with the click of your mouse.

Dave Buck, President of Coachville, (www.coachville.com), an organization dedicated to providing a wide variety of resources for coaches, the location of the largest virtual community of coaches in existence and a directory for individuals seeking coaches, said in a recent exclusive interview, "You have to first find the person [coach] who has the right expertise for you, and then you've got to talk to them and make sure they know their stuff. In other words, if a client had all the answers, he wouldn't be hiring you as a coach."

Find out what else Dave, a seasoned business coach himself, had to say during a recent interview with Wayne Messick, expert family business strategist and a mentor for coaches wishing to enter the privately-owned businesses arena.

To whet your appetite and interest, here are a few more quotes from the interview:

"Coaching has always been described as what it is not,"...Dave describes what coaching is.

"When you work with many clients in a similar arena, you develop an incredible wisdom – an incredible capacity to see distinctions and patterns."

"Coaching is undergoing a metamorphosis. What we know now is that a coach is someone who will understand your situation and apply their wisdom as well as your own, and together, with that collaboration, you'll find the answers."

"Coaches need to know the subject matter and have the depth of understanding about life to go deep into the situation."

"After you reflect on Buck's comments and advice, I hope you will add your special insights, along with those of hundreds of other professionals – by participating in our collaborative study that focuses on why and how business owners, leaders and managers hire coaches," says Messick.
