”There are a million reasons to hire a coach. But there is one that is universally urgent – the harsh (thrilling) reality of the talent-based economy.   If you are not (RIGHT NOW) using your talents to add value to some person, project, or company, you are in danger of becoming economically extinct.”  Source:  www.Coachville.com
