I show my clients a way to answer the question, "So, What Do You Do?" quickly and effectively. What I sometimes hear afterwards is, "Anna that works great, people now 'get' what I do and say, 'Yeah, I could sure do with help like that' but they're still not hiring me. What am I doing wrong? I get them talking about a problem and help them arrive at a solution. I then ask if they want some more coaching. They respond, 'No, I'm fine at the moment, I'll let you know'. " Coaches feel tempted to start coaching right then and there....

Where I live there seems to be a a growing population of rude and vulgar people. And no matter how hard I wish for things to change it is not going to happen. It is up to me to change how I think and feel about these people. The same applies for you. 1. What does it mean when someone is rude? Your initial angry reaction may be to think the person is a moron but that only makes matters worse as it will comes across in the way you talk. I prefer to view such behavior as evidence that the person is doing the best he can with what he has....

An age old battle in improv that I believe resonates well with challenges we experience in the business world is the question of whether a team should have a coach or a director (in which case it should be called an ensemble). In addition there's the third option of the self coached team, which I will call committee from here on forward. Role - Director: - "Mold" to vision. - Coach: - "Catalyst", bring out what is there. - Committee: Rotation, everybody takes turn coaching the team....
