but it's never coming to a solution, never suggesting anything as the coach, it's self-help.

So you now are a practicing business coach as well, Richard?

Yes, but with mentoring as well.

Right.

And I think that's the magic model is you understand the issue or opportunity somebody's trying to solve, go through the options, get a real understanding from listening, and then say, right,

We've done the coaching session.

What I'm now going to think about in my tiny little brain is, is there something that I've come across in my 40 years in business that would help you with what you're trying to achieve?

And that's the mentoring part.

And that's the mentoring bit.

Have you thought about X, Y, or Z?

So that to me is the magic model of coachment.

So that's coachment as in coaching and mentoring.

Exactly.

That's where the word comes from.

Okay, so it's both.

So you're doing both.

So when you say everyone should have a coach and everyone should have a mentor, in your view, that could be the same person in this case.

And ideally what we need is more coach mentors in this country.

People like you and I that have got the gray hairs that have made all the mistakes and can say, we want to help others get there.

And ideally by going and trading as a coach so that the mentee can get even more out of it.
