Ask the coach is a new weekly feature on CYT whereby you, the reader, get to ask a personal development question and two coaches myself and Ayo Olaniyan will answer your question in the form of a post. Your question can be anything related to your personal development however we cannot give advice on such topics as investments, the law, and medical advice, you should always seek out a professional for these matters. Example questions might be:
How can I become more assertive?
How can I deal with overpowering people at work?
How can I become less introverted?
How can I overcome a recurring nightmare?
These are only example questions and you can ask more of less anything you want.
Coaching is a process and one on one coaching can be much better as one issue you have in life maybe a manifestation of problems in other areas of your life. So it is not a comprehensive solution to your problems but rather a guide to get you started thinking about the issue at hand.
Meet the coaches

The way it will work
You will be able to ask a question here on this post. So if you have a question on your personal development just post a comment and when we answer a question we will email you to let you know we have chosen your question to be answered. There will be two questions answered per week which will give us a chance to answer as many questions as possible. Remember and put your correct email address when posting a comment as we will email you directly to let you know your answer as well as posting the answer on this blog.
Questions will be chosen and answered every Thursday by myself and Ayo and will be around 500 – 700 words replies. This will hopefully benefit other readers who have similar type questions. We will also answer any questions by way of comments on the question and answers for that particular week.
