No, I think financial are for the most part coaches themselves, and great athletes are always coachable. That's how they got to be great. I do believe that some financial advisers would not accept coaching from perhaps a younger or less experienced coach. That's why a review of the credentials and references of the coach might be very important in helping the individual who is somewhat coaching-resistant. That is perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of coaching.
Planners are naturals for coaching because they are already doing that in the financial sense.
And more often they are being asked non-financial questions. Tom started as a CPA, and his clients asked for more guidance than just preparing returns. Help me arrange my personal life to accomplish my goals. This led Tom into a role of coaching beyond financial issues. He recognized the need for coach training, and that led to the founding of Coach University that has been responsible for training thousands of coaches.
