Interview conducted by Milana Leshinsky, Founder & CEO of ACCPOW.com

1. Biggest opportunity in coaching arena is in training. Most training is a collossal waste of money, because training without coaching is entertainment.

4. Coaching is inspiring to produce a desired result by personalized teaching, expanding your awareness, and designing your environment.

5. In this day of information age, overwhelm and frustration, the real challenge of the day is personal productivity. Extreme productivity coaching is going to be the new trend.

6. Thought leaders are people with new big ideas that they want to influence the people of the world. But if you just write books and give talks, you don't impact the world. The only way to impact the world is by people integrating your ideas. Coaches are the magnificent glue that pulls it all together.

8. One day I woke up and realized I inhereted CoachVille. We're definitely going through growing pains right now. I had a vision for CoachVille, but I never had to put it to the test until now. It has been a great challenge and an opportunity.

9. Coachville was the epitamy of an organization built on one charismatic leader and a thousand little helpers. The charismatic leader passes on and the company has to find a way to survive. The fact that Coachville exists today, two years later, is a true business miracle.
