me to listen to that little voice.  Well, I did, and regardless of
whether it works out or not, I have learned more about myself, about
working with others, and I believe about business, than I could have
imagined learning any other way.

Words to live by–we should all be so appreciative of opportunities to learn.  And reading them suggests a simple definition of coaching: Helping people listen to themselves.  I’m gratified that I was able to play a helpful role in his transition, but my most important contribution was simply noting that I heard a certain passion in his voice when he talked about this venture and encouraging him to listen to it.
