When someone allows you into a personal exploration and journey, it is a privilege and that privilege is upheld by commitment. A committed coach is a consistent coach. The consistency demonstrates to the coachee that the coach can be trusted to do what they say they will do and will provide a safe and reliable environment for open and candid discussion and for learning, growth and discovery. Commitment is what transforms an agreement into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions followed by actions which speak louder than the words. It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time, week after week. Commitment is the stuff character is made of and a fundamental expression of personal integrity.
