I’ve always liked to be prepared.

It makes me feel responsible when people say ‘We can always count on you to be prepared.’

When I’m doing something new, my typical plan looked like this:

learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn…

A few weeks after I had passed my oral exam and finished coaching certification a close friend asked me a question:

‘What is the single most important thing you have learned from becoming a certified coach?’

I had to think about this a good bit since it was really difficult to distil everything I learned down to ONE thing. A better question may have been

‘What area of my life has NOT been influenced through this process’
