I want to share a letter I received from Thee Woon Goh, previous participant in the MC Certification Program and now head of Masterful Coaching Asia.

Hi Robert,

To start off I can say that I am thoroughly enjoying my work in executive coaching and consulting. Fortunate for me, my order book is now filled till September this year. I considered myself extremely lucky in securing engagements with three corporations on retainer.

Along the way, I am now acquiring lots of new learning besides sharpening up my old repertoire in organization change, corporate transformation, personal re-invention, leadership development, etc. I’m now into coaching senior executives about “creating the business” for start-ups in large corporations. Thanks to Robert, the term CTB (create the business) is the most powerful concept I am now using. The other powerful concept is “change yourself first.” Several executives talk about having to make changes … making others change. I now “show them the mirror” about changing self first. Encountered occasional tense moments, but I prevailed.

Another thing – Your Coach (In a Book) is an excellent resource that many of my clients enjoy, especially those who were assigned by their companies for coaching as part of leadership development. I get them to do some reading of the book and whenever we meet, we spend about 10 to 15 minutes as part of rapport building to talk about what they have read; and thereafter proceed into our coaching proper. Works marvelously with these Asian executives. Not only do they work on their issues creatively through coaching, they also acquire some new learning.

Thought I should update you about my progress. Regards, Thee Woon
