What G.U.E.S.T. Star Coaching is NOT:

A consultant. A consultant is often a specialist in a particular area hired to give recommendations, solve a particular problem, or address a specific issue. Coaching is holistic as each client examines the situation, creates a plan with their life coach, and then works side by side to resolve or enhance the challenge.

A therapist, counselor, or psychologist.  Therapeutic intervention tends to focus on feelings and experiences of past events, featuring their work in moving toward a different functioning level. Life coaching is oriented toward goal setting, moving a presently emotionally healthy person forward.

A mentor. Fun fact: the term mentor originates from Homer’s Odyssey. The character, Mentor, bestows his knowledge, wisdom, and counsel on Telemachus, Odysseus’s son. Telemachus, Mentor’s student, is older and more experienced, therefore, he looks up to him, seeking advice and guidance. A life coach supports and draws upon the wisdom of the client, guiding them as they extract inner resources.

    I was recently hired to be part of the opening team for a never-seen-before vision. This organization’s launch is enormous, and most people have been extremely appreciative of the sweat equity.

    My 2024 word of the year was ALLOW. I invited myself to consider an “and approach” rather than default to “or.” Dark and light. Cold and hot. Him and her. Wins and losses.

  • A SILENT COACH

    I watched a man repeatedly pitch baseballs to a middle-school-aged boy. The young man swung with about a 30% connection between the bat and ball. Neither of them said anything for nearly 15 minutes. As he walked off the pitcher’s mound, I told the man that it was unusual to see such silent practice on…

    He denied it and said, “I am not!” (John 18:15-27). If someone included my blunders in a book, I could only hope those published casualties would be limited to three. Peter is remembered for denying Jesus three times. Sometimes we forget that Peter was also the rock that Jesus chose to build his church and…
