3 Coaches, Avoiding Confrontation, What’s Your Filter?
I now have three coaches. Three different people, three different styles, three different worldviews. the only thing that is common among them is that they represent a worldview that is the polar opposite to mine.
Office hours… a blissful two way conversation… NOT.ALWAYS!
Yesterday a one-time student came on the call, and asked a question that imitated me. Or better said: I got irritated.
When a question lacks context, the answer either going to be totally unrelated… or not forthcoming.
