I've seen coaches go off point too when they start to feel that because they coach their clients with their problems, somehow they end up better than they are. It's a definite ego-trip, and for someone without a strong centered-core, the allure of a false self-esteem boost can be quite alluring. I should know, I've been there. But it's when a coach can recognize the equal humanity in another person, that's when real work, helpful for both parties, begins. I suppose that could be point <strong>7) Your client is a magnificent being, and so are you.</strong> You could always help me spread the word ;) Hi Bill,

I am especially drawn to: # “2) You are no better than the people you coach. Be their equal, not their boss. Walk with them shoulder by shoulder. You’re both on the same path.” I believe this is the most critical issue of coaching, and where so many so called coaches stray and lose their ability to assist clients to succeed. When a coach takes the superior position with their client, their ability to continue being an effective coach is diminished dramatically, and extremely difficult to recapture. The comment made about how “Everybody likes to learn, but no one likes to be taught” illustrates my point. I hope more coaches read your Manifesto. I commend you for your life coach Manifesto.
