Nail them or muff them?

The greatest lesson for any coach, outstanding or otherwise, is to overcome our own ego! The recipe for this disastrously massive ego is simple: We have a sincere desire to help our clients and we care deeply about their development. We know a lot, have great qualifications, and believe in ourselves. Unfortunately, these positive qualities can get in our way when it comes to helping!

There’s always an excuse if we’re looking for one. I’ve made so many excuses in my life. For years I may have sensed God was calling me into vocational ministry, but I had to provide for my family. I would be leading with the limps of previous failures – how and why would God use me? I didn’t have the most pastoral qualities either.

As you get older, it can be tough to remember what being in your twenties was really like. Not how it looks in your employees’ carefree Instagram photos or your own old photo albums (remember those?), but how it really felt in the moment.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) economies have achieved a remarkable transformation over the past 30 years. Saudi Arabia and its smaller neighbouring countries Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates were once at the economic periphery of the world’s trading system.
