132 EXECUTIVE COACHING
............................
Coaching was a huge success for me, but equally importantly,
I tip my hat to my own manager, who identified that I needed help
before I did, knew that he did not have the skill set to help, but knew
someone who could and was prepared to fund it. Also critical was
the personality fit with the coach, and her knowledge of the environment
I was operating in. My coaching was finite, but several years
on now, my relationship with my coach remains respectfully close. I
honestly think that if I hadn’t had this opportunity, I would have
packed and gone back to London.
