Eric was surprised when one of his top Board Members advised him to get a coach. “Why do I need a coach?”, Eric asked his Board Member, “I’m an established CEO. Is something wrong?”

“You need a coach… Everyone needs a coach.” His Board Member replied.

Eric told Fortune that this was the best advice he had ever received. “Every great athlete, every performer, has a coach.”, he told Fortune, “…The one thing that people are never good at is seeing themselves as others see them.”
