Once I became a manager... I suddenly acquired an interest in seeing other people succeed. This was very strong and limited to the people who reported to me. I believe it was a natural effect of having a certain responsibility for them. I have feedback indicating that I was in fact successful as a coach, for my team, during that time. And now that I'm no longer a manager.... I find that I'm not a very good coach. Not as much passion for seeing other people succeed, perhaps? Anyway I thought that was interesting. -Kay Nice post.

I've known for years that I'm a good coach, but I've almost always been stuck in an individual contributor job at a place that does not value the coaching I do. How do I attract the attention of companies looking to hire good coaches? So, what advice would you give to someone who wants to do some coaching?
