billion dollar app book

“The change was truly amazing. Much of the shared frustration was removed…we started to feel that we were firing on all cylinders…it was truly a great time at the company.”

WHY CTO COACHING?​

“Everyone needs a coach, whether it’s a top level executive, a graduate student, a homemaker, a homeless person or the President of the United States.”
Tony Robinson
Coaches are aware of how to ignite passion and motivate people. They have an energy that is contagious and know exactly how to get their team excited".
Brian Cagneey
"Coaching is a unique process of human development, one that works to change a person's life for the better and help him/her achieve a number of specific objectives".
Ian Berry
"People don't only use a coach when there is a problem with their technique; they understand that no matter how good their technique is, there is always room for improvement".
John Perry
"I absolutely believe that people, unless coached, never reach their maximum capabilities."
Bob Nardelli
“Probably my best quality as a coach is I ask a lot of questions and let the person come up with the answers.”
Phil DixonChicago Bulls
"A manager is a title, it does not guarantee success. Coaching is an action, not a title and actions will result in successes!"
Catherine Pulsifer
“Coaching is releasing a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.”
Rorie DevineGRO.TEAM
"A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment".
John Wooden
"The power of coaching is this - you are expected to give people the path to find answers, not the answers".
Tom Mahalo
“What you feed your mind, will lead your life.”
