Success whether it be in sports or business requires a combination of ability and internal qualities or attributes that have been found to contribute to high levels of achievement, so whether playing golf or running a multi-million dollar organization. These qualities include assertiveness, leadership ability, ability to make decisions, ability to take risks, sound judgment, drive and the like. Skills are not enough.

Coaching can help business people see themselves as top performers, not just as business people. The takeaway is, whether it’s sports or business—or, for that matter, medicine, surgery, law—all types of performance require fundamentally the same things.
The types of issues seen typically involve intra-team conflict, poor productivity attributable to an inability to focus effectively, loss of enjoyment attributable to stress and lowered productivity.
