ABSTRACT

As a budding or even as an established coach, there may be periods in your coaching career where you do little or no coaching. Perhaps your business has been taking you in a different direction and you’re spending your time on other activities; maybe you are beginning to build a client base; or the opportunities to coach have been sporadic. Similar to the woodcutter in Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (whose tool had become less effective), you too may need to sharpen your saw. To refresh your best authentic coaching self, here are activities you can pursue.
