According to Ryder's CEO, there's a downside to being at the very top of the food chain. You hae no boss. And this is where executive coaching can add value and structure.

The questions that we posed to Bill during our time together:

1) Bill can you please describe what a Business Vision Mentor is and does?

2) The coaching marketing is becoming / seemingly very crowded today. How can coaches stand out from crowd and reach the people they can best serve and make a difference in the world?

3) What trends have you seen in the market since the 1990's, 2001 when you enter coaching and now  today?

4) What do you say to strong (certified) coaches who can't develop a solid book of business while some coaches with no certification have developed a strong book of business? What's the difference? What can they do?

5) How do you define a brand?

6) What do you say to people who don't feel comfortable in selling or marketing themselves? Is there a way around that? Is there another way?

7) You talk about having a pressure free sales technique because "there is no sale to make". What are the mechanics of that?
(hint: Presence, Attraction, Invitation, Collaboration)

8) What does the psychographic category "group cultural creative" mean and why should coaches care?

9) What is an Enlightenpreneur?

10) What do you mean "the energy of business has changed" 
and why do you say that? Please give us some examples?

11) How can coaches re-align themselves to the new energy of business and the new marketplace?

Why I Love Coaching! (James Santagata, Executive Director, APCA)

What's the best part of my job?

That's pretty simple  to answer.

It's helping people reach their true potential, as effectively, efficiently and quickly as possible. Helping to create a better life for my client, their loved ones, the broader community and society at large.

Many times, it's guiding clients to leap over or crush a fatal flaw or a major skills gap (without necessarily closing the actual gap) and land that new job that they previously found was impossible to consider let alone close.  It's especially gratifying to see them beat out the dozens upon dozens of "more qualified" and "better" candidates who also applied for the same position and who are then left wondering, "How could he / she get in, but I didn't ?!".  And best of all, it's seeing them land that job for which they were "unqualified for" with a very strong offer and excitement on the part of the hiring company or hiring authority to get them onboard and started as soon as possible, lest there be any chance to lose them to the competition.
