"Growth is acknowledging that there's more to 'blank,' there's more to life, there's more to my physical well being currently, my mental well being. We can decide if we want that or not. Growth is possibilities." — Mike Green

"The most important thing for me in coaching is that, when I take my last breath, I have worked with enough people on the planet that they are actually able to have and make peace with themselves. Because that is my deepest belief: When we make peace with ourselves, we're more likely to cause peace on the planet. " — Tracey Burns

"Words matter so much. And the words you use allow other people to feel close and safe and to want to move closer and feel safer with you." — Paul Sanbar

"As coaches we have endless opportunities to support others to be who they want to be, to learn how to see themselves, and actually look in that mirror and smile." — Jodi Sleeper-Triplett

"Have you ever had to hide an identity or felt like you had to hide your identity as a coach? And what's that experience like? That is definitely something that I've been thinking about a lot." — Jory Stillman

"It creates that awareness at a molecular level. If it hits that DNA, the transformation that occurs from the inside out is phenomenal. That's what I think is so important about coaching: That it has the opportunity to get deep inside below all the layers to what's really important to the person that I have the privilege and honor to be with, and help them to see, 'What's going to serve me best? A...

"It's more than language: 'Who am I when I'm speaking in English? And who am I when speaking in French? And who am I when I am speaking in Arabic?' It was like a big question of, 'Who are you, Jihane?'" — Jihane Labib 

"Being present in this world with people as a coach is life-changing. It allows me to stay positive. There's so much pain and yet . . . there's a certain gratitude. It allows me to stay very grateful and happy to be alive, to have everything I have around me, the goods, the bads, the uglies. Every challenge just shapes me because I have coaching as a muscle." — Pooja Khandelwal

"There isn't a facet of my life that hasn't been impacted by understanding more about what coaching is and the benefits of that quality of conversations that I can have." — Ann Fogolin

"I learned resilience. I learned unconditional love that I could give. I learned the ability to be persistent and forgive from really difficult situations." — Ellen Fulton

"Coaching is not simply something that we do, but it is something who we are. The practice of being fully there cannot be only achieved when we are in front of our clients. It has to be a practice that we do and that we are committed to on a daily basis." — Elias Scultori

"Yes, we bring our 'coach selves' wherever we go: We're inherently more curious and better listeners, and we know how to ask good questions. But people don't realize that when you are in a formal coaching session it is a totally different, sacred dynamic. So when I've had people come sit in on my class that have known me for years, they're like, ' Kathleen, I didn't know you could do that.' It's w...

"I love Drag Race. I've seen every episode. I have 'Yas Queen' tattooed onto my wrist. My mum said 'What does 'Yas Queen' mean?' I said, 'It means you've done something fierce, you're looking fierce, or you're feeling fierce.' I really admire people who are on the outside and at risk and still doing it." — Ginny Baillie

"I've come to realize I don't have to have the 'perfect' anything. For example, for a client I actually just need to show up as a human being and meet them with as much curiosity as I can find in myself. That's the healing agent: to receive somebody, to see them." — Nadjeschda Taranczewski

"I'll tell you what [a pause] is not: It's not a moment of nothing. Oftentimes people think it's this empty, wasted, dead space. It's not! It's their space to turn inward and find the answers, and to explore inwardly, which then affects everything that comes on the outside. This space is the doorway to all the other experiences in coaching." — Hannah Finrow

"I've discovered that I'm a deeply spiritual person. But I would have just laughed at you if you had said that to me 12 years ago, when I first started this work." — Adam Quiney

"The question is: 'If you eliminate someone, if you push them away, do you feel expanded or contracted?' I feel contracted so I felt like pushing away is not the answer. What's the way to create expansion? What's the way to create more oneness? And there's so much in coaching and and coaching mastery that addresses that." — Annie Gelfand

"Friends will be on the phone and say 'I'm so sorry. Are you still there? Is my phone working?' 'Yeah, I'm listening to you. You're one of my favorite people in the world and you're telling me something important. I'm so glad I get to witness this.' There's no need for me to say anything." — Melanie Perry

"What does it mean to me to belong? How do I know on a cellular level that I belong in certain spaces and places? And that I don't belong in other spaces? What I've come to is it's being able to see myself in the other people: it's being able to see bits and pieces of my own story, my own journey, my own struggles, my own wins, my own hardships, my own accomplishments." — Emily Golden

"Every painter has got the same colors at their disposal. But the way they blend the colors to create their own art makes them unique. And the same is for the master coach. We all have the same competencies at our disposal, but how we blend them to be with our clients and to work with our clients makes unique art of coaching." — Giuseppe Totino

"I talk to a lot of clients about using their values to guide their decisions and their thinking and their actions. That forces me to look at 'Where am I using my values to guide my decision-making in my thinking? And where am I living in integrity with my values and not?'" — Bill Pullen

"What I love about coaching is that it is about 'imperfect'. It's about, 'What are we going to learn from this thing where it didn't go so well?' You didn't like how that went? Okay, there's another choice out there. There's another right answer. That's a space that has really transformed me." — Sandi Stewart

"When I'm first working with a client, there's a period where they're getting to know me. And I think the more that I'm truly authentic, and I use direct communication, and I do say what no one else would dare say, they recognize that they can trust me: I'm not holding any punches." — Wendy Preyssler

"My role is to just be present. And partner. And then be absent in the space of ego. And just keep doing that work for years. That's what I call the purpose of empowering people's life." — Dr. Paras

"I am a highly sensitive woman who sees the good in almost everyone and who wants to make a difference in the world. I realize that the only way I can make a difference is to love the people around me." — Joan Wangler
