Coach Stories
“I assisted a very small company to double in size and expand its product line. I can’t claim credit for that. I was simply the coach standing on the sidelines and teaching new plays.”
“If you have the right attitude –– one of humble inquiry –– and you’re prepared to roll up your sleeves, act as a ‘partner’ with these enterprises, and help them get on the road to transformation, you can have a lasting impact on a company, and even a country.”
“The transformation plans we developed to help these companies grow will allow them to hire more workers, and when you give more people opportunities, more are lifted out of poverty.”
“I saw Seed as a way to create jobs, which is a way to move people up and out of poverty and enhance the prosperity of the entire community.”
