Perhaps the most simple and effective navigation aid is the compass. As coaches it is imperative that we have a good working compass and a current road map to guide us to our destination. The compass must be oriented to true north, not magnetic north or we will always be two to three degrees off course. That is enough to miss the destination by miles.
For a coach true north is each coach’s foundational beliefs and core philosophy based on tried and true principles and grounded in good ethics. The road map represents the journey. It must be current and accurate. There are signs and landmarks along the way to help guide to our destination, but it is through constant reference to our compass that those signs and landmarks have meaning to guide us to our destination. So don’t lose your compass and keep it oriented to true north.
