Long before coaching became a profession, mothers quietly practiced its principles. They didn’t call it “active listening;” they listened to everything. They didn’t speak of “empowerment;” they knew when to step back so we could move forward. They didn’t set SMART goals; they made sure we finished what we started. Mother figures in our lives make great coaches. Whether biological, adoptive, chosen, or spiritual, they’ve been coaching us long before we had a word for it.

Another month with steady progress. I like it :)!
