I stumbled onto an important life discovery in my late teens. "There is great pleasure in helping others get past obstacles in their lives, and supporting them as they move on to their best successes." I also found that I had the ability to identify leaders and help guide them towards the best application of the leadership gift, whether in business, not-for-profit ventures, academia, or other domains. I never planned to become an executive coach. This vocation has emerged from serving in various organizations and giving time freely to support and encourage the people who have been placed in my path. Over time I discovered that I had a list of leaders who said, "your wisdom and insight made all the difference in my success." These responses have been deeply gratifying. -Don Riling
