What Successful Leaders Say About Coaching
Testimonies from the modern era’s greatest wealth builders and influencers
Founder of Microsoft
Bill Gates
Everyone needs a coach. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player. We all need people who will give us feedback. That’s how we improve.
Former CEO of Google, Chairman of Alphabet
Eric Schmidt
When John Doerr first suggested I get a coach, I resisted. I said, “I’m an experienced CEO, why do I need a coach? Is something wrong?” But I learned later that a coach sees what you cannot see, and gives you a perspective you cannot give yourself. The best advice I ever got was: find a coach.
Founder of Amazon
Jeff Bezos
Worked for years with the legendary coach Bill Campbell, known as “the Trillion Dollar Coach” because his executive clients led companies whose combined value exceeded one trillion dollars.
