When my friend Katie Gaughan suggested I write something about an upcoming event for an organization called the Kentucky Coaches Alliance, my first reaction was to simply blow her off and ridicule the whole business coaching concept.

My skepticism comes from the fact that I’m not that much of a touchy-feely guy, and the idea of paying someone to help you figure out a plan is a foreign concept to me. I’m much more of a “get ‘er done” guy, sort of an act-first, plan-later type.
