Today is day 4 of the 30-Day Quotation Coach4aday Challenge. You pick one word and then pair it with a quote. My word today is CHANGE.

About a decade ago one of my former students Newy Scruggs gave me a small pamphlet written by Jim Rohn. Jim authored countless books and recorded audio and video programs. His work helped motivate and shape an entire generation of personal-development trainers and leadership coaches. Rohn mentored Mark Hughes, Tony Robbins, Victor Hansen, Jack Canfield, and Brian Tracy.

My purpose in life is to coach. I am a former collegiate basketball coach, director of athletics, and chief of staff. I worked at four NCAA Division I & II universities during my career. At each campus I learned timeless lessons on teamwork and leadership. Today my passion is coaching others on what it takes to lead, serve, and succeed.
