The Functional Path is a path that had been traveled many times before but had fallen out of use in favor of smoother paved roads that promised faster and easier results.

Vern...I agree and have experienced the same thing on Southwest airlines and it got me thinking too and how it can be applied to our field. A very simple concept that MOST people fail to put into practice.
This is priceless for young coachs growing in this business, PRICELESS! And it helps me focus on the important things, education,application,coaching.
