“- Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
– That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.
-I don’t much care where…
– Then it doesn’t matter which way you go”
Lewis Carroll
Being coached is also a way to become the leader you dream to be, a way to act hic et nunc – here and now – prepare for tomorrow and elsewhere, both feet on the ground and head in the stars…
