There is no coincidence with the author using the verb coaching in his title. It connotes action and being intentional about your work. It cannot be practiced from a conservative perspective. The best ideas win, and the best ideas come from people who dare to be different, to dream, and to do things that no one dreamed possible. Dream big. Imagine what’s possible. Coach with creativity. Be your own champion. There are no limits.
