How often do we sit waiting for inspiration? We sit and stew and ponder and pout. We think it's all about the mind and how it tie ideas to inspiration, yet, the experience of inspiration is first physical. What is your calling card of inspiration? Goose bumps? Chills?

The results you want to achieve will be one of the key drivers in the selection of a coach.
