Method vs. Magic

Until relatively recently, I couldn't tell you what coaches actually do. This is funny, considering I’ve had a coach for many years and am now one myself.

I found my coach, Tracy, in 2021. I began my coaching search by emailing a few folks in my network who, over the decade I’d known them, had become billionaires. I figured they might have had a good coach.

One of them responded quickly, and introduced me to Jerry Colonna, who is arguably the most famous coach in Silicon Valley. Jerry very kindly informed me that his roster was full, but recommended I speak to his co-founder, Khalid Halim.

Khalid graciously took a zoom with me, and after learning a bit about me, offered up a few of his proteges who he had recently mentored. One of them was Tracy. He described a woman my age, who had built a 300-person food company, raised $40M from investors, and ultimately navigated it to a sale, then moved to Hawaii to live a more balanced life, and now works as an executive and psychedelic coach. I immediately knew that she was the one for me. Four years later, we still work together and I now consider her one of my closest friends.
