We wrap up our first season with a study in expertise - Your expertise. The courage to own your life wisdom, to put out there that you have the depth, breadth and value to be offered, all without fearing that you look like a know-it-all… And also, the willingness to realize that, just maybe, that first expertise wasn’t what you thought it was, and YOU weren't who you thought you were - and it's okay to grow into the next one. You are in control, and you can do it!

In our last episode, Lee and Terri discussed coaching methods - This time out, practicing those methods. There’s your coaching practice, and there’s practicing your coaching - Coaching is skill that only builds and solidifies as you get out there and actually coach. So, is it acceptable to practice? Is it fair to your clients? Where do you begin? Do you “just do it,” or do you have wait for the perfect time to consider yourself a professional Coach?

The old joke is:

"Excuse me, sir, how do you get to Carnegie Hall?"

"Practice, practice, practice."

Developing your skills in anything - Whether you’re coaching a client, building a business, or baking a cake, is done by following a method - The steps that you take to complete the task at hand. Is it as simple as, “lather, rinse, repeat,” or is there something more?
