WTF stands for “what the f____” It’s a swear word. You should know that.
I swear by this: WTF stands for “What’s The Focus?”
When you FOCUS on providing great value to people, then you will do so.
When you focus on cheating people, then you will do so.
WTF Coaching is a process of intentionally focusing on positive outcomes in your professional and personal life.
We ALL need WTF coaching at times.
No one is successful when they are alone. Teams are successful. The myth of the solo-preneur is dead. Every successful client and alliance partner that I know of has a tremendous support team providing sales, marketing, delivery, assessments, etc.
Throughout history, our WTF Coaches have helped us become successful. They help us keep our focus.
I currently work with 2 peer WTF Coaches, because I need more help than many 🙂
So, who is your WTF Coach?

Whether public or privately held, most buying agents (managers and leaders) ask about Return on Investment (ROI). You need to. Some coaches duck the question by stating that coaching is a “soft skill” that cannot be measured. We disagree. ROI can be measured and must be measured.
Every client uses metrics to define their success. Typically these metrics are connected to key practices for that group. Here are two examples.

Financial professionals, like most people, need a coach at times. They are usually working by themselves, or in small teams. Their success is a direct result of how often they call on clients and prospects. The very best provide tremendous customer service. And they all need to stay optimistic, upbeat, and focused on others. This article in Investment Advisor magazine, November 2008, features Doug Gray, PCC, and mentions the value of business coaching.
