What successful people have in common
Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Oprah Winfrey, Sheryl Sandberg and Jeff Bezos all have one thing in common (on top of being successful) – they have all used coaches or sounding boards to enhance their personal skills and help with professional growth.
Famous sportsmen & women and all kinds of artists are known to use coaches to improve skills and performances. Few people, however, know that many of the most successful businessmen & women are adepts of getting coached via sounding boards!
Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, has attributed part of his success to the guidance he received from an executive coach and Warren Buffett, the billionaire investor, has acknowledged the role of his mentors and coaches in shaping his investment philosophy.
The main difference between a coach and a sounding board is that a coach is focused on helping you achieve your goals, while a sounding board is focused on providing you with feedback and insights, problem solving and decision making.
