Coaching vs. Therapy: Which to Choose?

Imagine this:

You’re driving home after another long day.
The work isn’t the problem—you’re functioning, you’re capable, you’re respected.
But something feels… off.

You can’t shake the feeling of being stuck.
You’re questioning whether you’re in the right career.
Your motivation is fading.
Your confidence wavers at the worst times.

Leadership: It's what you make of it

A parable is told about a pencil-maker who was preparing to put an important pencil in a box. Before doing so, though, he took the pencil aside. “There are five things you need to know,” he said. “If you can remember these five things, you will become the best pencil you can be.”

  1. Sharpening is painful, but it is critical if you want to write sharply.
  2. Since you have an eraser, you can correct most mistakes you make, though some may be harder to erase than others.

  4. Whatever surface you on, make sure you leave your mark. No matter how hard, rough, or easy, you must continue to write.

This parable shares powerful lessons for every leader.
