In the past five years, over two thousand coaches have completed the Coach Training Program at Coach University. As the president of Coach University and an experienced coach of ten years, I have had the privilege to work with many of them. In the process, I have found that the most successful coaches have a few key qualities. The most successful coaches are demonstrably caring. Coaching is a people-development profession, not just an information-based one. Given that coaches spend much of their time developing, supporting, and training their clients, caring about their clients and their success and their values is the oil that keeps the coaching process working smoothly
