Top Ten Reasons to Become Wildly Successful as a Coach
From The Heart
The other day I was leading a class as a faculty member at Coach U. It was in the Core Essentials program, which is where most of us start our journey into becoming a Coach. One of the students asked me, “Who is Thomas Leonard?” and while I can’t say I wasn’t shocked given that Thomas left this world almost 16 years ago, it did make me realize that we need to work to keep his name, his legacy and his work alive.
I didn’t know Thomas personally but I did have the opportunity to hear him teach, deliver workshops and do coaching demonstrations. He was the kind of person who when he spoke you could hear a pin drop other than his voice. He was prolific in his writing and giving that he started Coach U, Coachville and had a hand in the curriculum for the Coach Training Institute, it is fair to say that the basis of education for the coaching profession leans heavily on his work.
Thomas was also one of just a few of the founding members and leaders of the ICF. Just do a quick google search on him and you will see what an amazing influence he had on our profession.
Thomas was famous for his Top Ten Lists. So, in his honor, here is my...

Industry News
Earlier this year, I was privileged to go through the ICF PCC marker training directly from the ICF. This was a gift to me and a benefit of being on the Faculty at Coach U. The training was fantastic and came from the perspective of using the PCC markers to assess PCC level Coaching Skills. I was so excited and happy to participate that I have been asked to be one of the few facilitators of this class for the ICF beginning in 2019. If you would like to be on the list to take this class, please contact [email protected] and they will process your request. By the way, a little birdie told me that the ICF is very close to having 10,000 PCC credential holders. Stay tuned!!!
I am Grateful For: The Election Is Over!
Being an empath, as I am, and as many of you are, election time can really put a strain on my nervous system. There is a tension that permeates the air like no other time of year. I am thrown off by the energy and I am so grateful that we are done with it for a time. I have an opinion, I voted, I got involved and its all over now.
I am happy to take advantage of the cleaner energy and move my life forward NO MATTER what the political struggle of the day happens to be. So, no matter what your political point of view, let’s pause, take a deep breath and celebrate the end of an election cycle.
