Your Business Coach Shouldn’t *Need* a Business Coach The Part-Time CEO

    • Business

The other day, I posted this question in a large group for mothers who own businesses:
 
“Do you trust a business coach who needs their own business coach? (Edited to add: everyone needs a coach, but specifically those *business coaches* who need a business coach)?”
 
And yes, I knew what I was doing. I expected that there would be lots of responses, but I was shocked at how overwhelmingly they leaned to one side. Out of the over 60 responses, every single person except 1 responded emphatically YES. The responses tended to be quite emotional, and they even somewhat aggressively defended their point. 
 
 I was also surprised and somewhat disappointed at the homogeneity of their industries. Without fail, almost every single responder was, themselves, a business coach.
 
Ugh. The downward spiral of coaches serving coaches who coach coaches rears its ugly head.
 
As you’ve figured out by now, I have a different opinion. Tune in to this week’s podcast to hear my hot take.
