I began my journey in the coaching profession in 1989, when I took a course offered by Thomas Leonard and became certified as a life planner. Over the next five years, I wrote a book, led workshops, and spoke to groups all over the country. During that time, Thomas started Coach U (along with being my own personal coach). I was using my coaching skills at every opportunity, and in 1994 I enrolled in Coach U and became a full-time coach. At that time, most people had no idea what coaching was or how it worked. With the support of my coach, I was coaching 80.
