Keith, Ph.D. Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:21:33 +0000 http://www.pgbcoaching.co.uk/?p=64#comment-62 Hello Paul -- Thanks for your question. I am a coach. I am also being coached. I love coaching and I find that being coached is extremely helpful to me. I tend to be very goal-oriented and I am a shameless list-maker. I find that on my own, even using lists and plans, I can easily derail with all of the extraneous "stuff" coming at me. Most of us have far more coming at us than we are able to deal with. I think that what makes the coaching so much more useful than just doing it myself is that I have a relationship with my coach. He knows me and is deeply interested in me and my success. I have never met him. He lives about 300 miles away. However the coach/client relationship works because it is extraordinary. I have no other relationships like this. There are others with whom I share a close relationship, but the coaching relationship is ONLY coaching. There are no other facets to it, so it is pure in the sense that there are no other crossover domains that could influence it. I look forward to seeing what others are writing. Regards -- Robert L.
