“A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.”

There are so few in the history of coaching that have been able to do this effectively. One of the primary reason is how important presence and equipoise is in the coaching process. One must be in a state of intuition to know when to move and what to do, be centered and balanced in thought and deliver the right message to the right person at the right time.

Since our egos are delicate, the way the message is delivered is far more important than the message itself. Meaning the state of mind of the coach needs to be one of sincere and empathetic honesty, without a trace of self-interest.
