On World Coaches Day 18th July: Honouring & Celebrating Our Coaches & Mentors
Every year on 18th July, World Coaches Day is celebrated to recognize and honour the invaluable contributions of coaches and mentors across every walk of life. From boardrooms to classrooms, stadiums to studios, and from therapy rooms to spiritual ashrams, coaches have helped millions rise beyond their limits and live to their fullest potential. On this special day, we collectively pause to reflect on the importance of these guiding forces and pay tribute to the silent yet powerful role they play in shaping lives, careers, and character. The Power Behind the Spotlight While achievers are often celebrated for their brilliance, few notice the hands that helped mould that brilliance. Coaches are rarely in the limelight, yet their impact echoes through the actions, decisions, and achievements of the people they guide. Whether it is Bill Campbell (Executive Coaching), who mentored top Silicon Valley CEOs, or Sir Alex Ferguson (Football), who built one of the most legendary football dynasties, the footprints of great coaches can be found in every field of excellence. A Coach Builds More Than Skill At the surface, a coach might seem like someone who teaches technique or strategy. But at a deeper level, a coach is someone who transforms mindset, expands belief systems, and fosters accountability. They bring clarity where there is confusion, calm where there is chaos, and vision where there is fear. It is through the eyes of a great coach that individuals often first glimpse their own potential. The impact of a coach is visible in a swimmer like Michael Phelps, whose record-breaking Olympic journey was shaped by Bob Bowman (Swimming Coach). Similarly, Butch Harmon (Golf Coach) shaped the careers of golf legends with discipline and precision. These stories remind us that talent alone is not enough—it needs direction, structure, and belief, all of which a coach provides. In Business, Coaching is Leadership's Best Friend Coaching is no longer confined to sports. In the realm of business, coaching has become a powerful tool for transformation and innovation. Founders, CEOs, and entrepreneurs seek coaches not because they are incapable, but because they are ambitious. They need a sounding board, a mirror, and a challenger. Coaches like Saurabh Kaushik (Business & Life Coach) bring an edge to leadership development through bespoke and confidential sessions. These coaches don't offer advice; they facilitate insight, clarity, and aligned action. Coaches like Jim Rohn (Personal Development) have long inspired generations to become better thinkers and doers, while names like Jay Abraham (Marketing Strategy) have coached businesses into exponential growth. The best leaders are often those who are coachable—those who understand that learning never ends. Coaches of the Mind, Spirit, and Heart Beyond business and sports, coaches operate in subtler realms too. They guide individuals through emotional blocks, spiritual uncertainty, and personal stagnation. Think of Khalil Gibran's poetic influence or spiritual teachers who blend wisdom with compassion to lead seekers on their path. The value of these coaches is not always visible in metrics, but it is felt in peace of mind, inner clarity, and the ability to love and live authentically. Even in high-performance work environments, mental coaches are playing a critical role. Whether it's preparing a team for high-pressure situations or helping professionals deal with burnout, coaches offer mental fitness alongside skill-building. Creating Cultures of Growth Organizations that embrace coaching cultures are often more resilient, agile, and innovative. Coaching nurtures talent, bridges communication gaps, and cultivates leadership at all levels. It fosters a growth mindset not just in individuals, but in teams and systems. A coach doesn't just focus on problems but helps unlock solutions from within. Coaches like Pep Guardiola (Football Coach), for instance, are revered not just for winning games, but for creating a culture of excellence that transcends the game itself. Why We Celebrate 18th July World Coaches Day on 18th July isn't just another date on the calendar. It is a heartfelt acknowledgment of the sacred relationship between coach and coachee. It is a tribute to all those who choose to teach, guide, and hold space for others to grow. Whether it is in structured sessions or spontaneous conversations, coaches are catalysts for transformation. This day is for every school teacher who mentored a child, every sports coach who taught discipline, every business coach who sparked clarity, every wellness coach who nurtured balance, and every spiritual coach who illuminated a path. It is for the mentors who believed when others didn't, who stayed the course, and who reminded us of who we are when we forgot. A Personal Invitation to Reflect If you have a coach or mentor in your life, take a moment today to thank them. If you haven't had one yet, perhaps today is the day to seek one. The journey to becoming your best self is not a path to walk alone. Behind every great artist, athlete, entrepreneur, or leader, there is often a coach whose contribution is immeasurable. So, on this 18th of July, let us raise a toast to the coaches of the world—from the sports fields to boardrooms, from therapy circles to classrooms. Their wisdom, patience, and vision are what help shape a better tomorrow. The world doesn't just need more heroes. It needs more coaches behind them. Happy World Coaches Day.

The Most Overlooked Catalyst For Innovation Is A Trusted Mentor
Mentorship remains a quiet superpower. And for those who embrace it systematically and consistently, ... More it can turn possibility into progress faster than any tool alone. Innovation is often portrayed as the result of genius, capital, technology or timing. But one of its most under-appreciated accelerants does not appear on a balance sheet or patent filing: a trusted mentor. Whether you are an entrepreneur building from scratch, a corporate leader launching a transformation initiative or a researcher pushing the boundaries of possibility, the right mentor can be a multiplier of progress and a safety net when risks go sideways. In the age of AI, moonshots and agile pivots, mentorship may feel old-fashioned. But mentorship is not just relevant, it is essential. As the complexity of innovation grows, so does the value of someone who has already charted the path and is willing to walk with you through yours. Why Mentorship Fuels Innovation A great mentor does not just give advice. Mentors provide pattern recognition, network amplification, confidence calibration, timely feedback, and more. They offer something algorithms cannot; they share lived experiences laced with personal investment. Consider Steve Jobs and Bill Campbell. Known as 'The Coach of Silicon Valley,' Campbell mentored Jobs, Larry Page Jeff Bezos and many others. While he never wrote a line of code, his fingerprints are all over some of the most consequential product decisions in modern history. Why? Campbell helped many leaders navigate ambiguity, build trust within teams and resolve conflicts. These are core components of innovation that rarely make headlines but often determine success or failure. Another example is Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx. She credits much of her early success to the advice of Richard Branson, among others, who helped her understand how to scale without losing her brand's scrappy DNA. The connection between the two was orchestrated through networks that understand the importance of aligned, purposeful mentorship. Most importantly, mentors drive innovation that leads to lasting results in the business world. As VentureWell reports: Mentors can also play a powerful role for internal innovation. A report by Deloitte found that 'high performing learning organizations' (which includes utilizing mentors) are 92% more likely to innovate and 46% more likely to be first to market in their niche. Mentorship Innovation Is A Two-Way Street Finding the right mentor requires a certain level of proactivity. While great mentors are willing to give back and help others, they are not going to become your mentor without any effort on your part. In a podcast interview, Ginger King explains, 'When you want somebody to be your mentor, it's not only what they can do for you, it's also what you can do for them … Yes, looking for a mentor is extremely important. But you cannot just ask anyone to be a mentor because people have limited time. If you want help, you need to offer your value to them, as well.' King used social media and event attendance to build a mentorship relationship with Dayton John of Shark Tank, all while focused on providing value herself, such as giving a helpful answer when he asked for a solution for biodegradable caps on Instagram. In that particular social media interaction, because they had already developed a relationship from previous interactions, John asked her for help with something else as well. Indeed, mentees can often offer value through their own expertise in emerging tools and technology, bringing diverse cultural insights from their background or helping mentors identify their own blind spots through meaningful feedback. A proactive and properly nurtured relationship creates wins for both sides. Future View Of Mentorship Looking ahead, the role of mentors in fostering innovation will become even more critical and nuanced. Here are just a few: Suggested Action Steps To capture the immense benefits of mentorship for innovation, individuals and organizations should consider the following: For Individuals: For Organizations: Turning Mentorship Into Innovation Mentorship remains a quiet superpower. For those who embrace it systematically and consistently, it can turn possibility into progress faster than any tool alone. With the right mentor in your corner, you can gain access to a powerful source of knowledge, resources, insights and ideas as you embark on your own innovative efforts.

Investors pull billions from long-term US bond funds amid debt, inflation worries
The latest withdrawals mark a sharp reversal from the average inflows of $20 billion seen over the past 12 quarters. The shift suggests growing discomfort with the long-term fiscal trajectory of the United States read more US Dollar banknotes are seen in this illustration taken July 17, 2022. Representational Image/Reuters Investors are rapidly exiting long-term US bond funds at the fastest pace since the Covid-19 pandemic, as concerns mount over America's swelling debt and inflation outlook. Net outflows from long-duration funds, which include government and corporate bonds, have reached nearly $11 billion so far in the second quarter, according to calculations based on EPFR data. The latest withdrawals mark a sharp reversal from the average inflows of $20 billion seen over the past 12 quarters. Fund flow data, while only a snapshot of the broader US bond market, serves as a key indicator of investor sentiment, and the shift suggests growing discomfort with the long-term fiscal trajectory of the United States, according to a report by Financial Times. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Inflation, fiscal concerns weigh on sentiment The outflows come amid heightened unease over President Donald Trump's proposed tax package, which independent analysts estimate could add trillions to the national debt. While the administration argues that tariffs and economic growth will offset the fiscal impact, investors are wary of the bond supply glut that may follow. 'It's a symptom of a much bigger problem,' said Bill Campbell of DoubleLine. 'There is a lot of concern domestically and from the foreign investor community about owning the long end of the Treasury curve.' Market participants are also bracing for the inflationary effects of the administration's tariffs on trading partners. Inflation poses a particular risk to long-term bonds, as rising prices erode the real value of fixed interest payments. 'It's a volatile environment, with inflation still above target and heavy government supply as far as the eye can see,' said Robert Tipp of PGIM. Goldman Sachs strategist Lotfi Karoui said the trend 'reflects concerns over the longer-run outlook for fiscal sustainability.' Investors move to short-term bonds, global options The concerns have been mirrored in price declines, with long-term US bonds losing about 1 percent this quarter, according to a Bloomberg index. That's a rebound from sharper losses seen after Trump's April tariff announcements, which initially shook markets. In contrast, short-term US bond funds have continued to attract capital, drawing over $39 billion this quarter alone. These funds are currently offering higher yields as the Federal Reserve maintains elevated short-term interest rates. Andrzej Skiba of RBC Global Asset Management said investors may begin diversifying more heavily into international fixed income. However, he added, 'we don't think it's the end of the Treasury market, and the role of Treasuries as a core holding in global fixed income portfolios.' Still, he cautioned that markets may begin to demand 'more compensation to invest further out the curve,' suggesting investors could require higher yields to hold long-term debt. 'Even though we don't see an earthquake coming, you could see tremors,' Skiba said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
