As renowned management guru Tom Peters observed, "What gets measured gets done." Organizations measure what matters and the same holds true in coaching. When you set measurable goals, you're telling the brain that those things are important. In response, the brain calls your attention to opportunities that will help you reach those goals.
I n our experience, when a leader in your company is engaged in executive coaching, the best (and toughest) metrics to evaluate his or her performance improvement focus on shifting others' perception of the leader (the coachee). When change happens, the coachee demonstrates this change before it registers with others. Therefore, others' acknowledgement of improvement is the ultimate testament.
To successfully implement these metrics, the coach needs to establish a baseline of stakeholder perception at the very beginning of the engagement. We believe the coach should interview six to 20 of the leader's co-workers (e.g., his or her boss, colleagues and direct reports) by asking detailed questions targeted around the leader's performance.
Through these interviews, the coach's objective is to understand the department, company, culture, relevant history, interpersonal relationship dynamics and intimate perspectives of the interviewees, all in relation to the leader being coached. This information helps the coach gain a greater sense of context and gauge the leader's impact on his or her team and the organization at large.
These initial interviews make up one of the most critical steps of the coaching process — and they can result in valuable insights. According to Daniel Goleman, a prominent psychologist and thought leader on emotional intelligence, few organizations have metrics on the emotional climate a business leader creates. The coaching process can help you tap into this data.
Near the end of the engagement, the coach should re-interview the stakeholders, asking the exact same questions in order to evaluate the changes in their responses. These results will powerfully demonstrate any improvements in the leader's performance, as well as how effective the coaching truly was.
However, when significant, systemic change occurs, the leader's performance shift speaks louder than any metrics. The transformation is so obvious that everyone is talking. The coachee has improved in the targeted areas, but the growth likely extends even further: The leader is now achieving results more quickly, communicating more effectively, embracing greater accountability and exhibiting more emotional intelligence, thereby enhancing leadership capacity and, in turn, the organization's bottom line.
What have you found to be the best executive coaching metrics?

Jennifer Love Hewitt Plastic Surgery Boob, Nose Job
bigCeleb | July 14, 2017 | Actress | No Comments
Many know Jennifer Love Hewitt as one of the—if not the—biggest TV and movie bombshell of the 2000s. She started out on night time television as rising starlet, and then paved her way to stardom by staring in blockbuster after blockbuster. Then she started doing sexier, sensual roles that caught the eye of many viewers. She was the favorite actress of many then.
Nowadays, she is known for her beauty. Plus, she also has the background of not only acting, but modeling, producing, singing, songwriting, directing, and writing. She is a modern day working woman, who can do a little bit of everything. Her force in the Hollywood scene is truly unstoppable.
However, no matter how much success she gains from in front of and behind the camera, her beauty is haunting and taunting part of her life. Many people see her not for her many accomplishments. Instead, they see her for only her beauty. Because of that, she's had to keep a careful eye on how she presents herself to the public. She can't be out of shape and she always has to look divine.
This is a factor that may have led her to a path of plastic surgery. Although Jennifer Love Hewitt has never outright admitted to her plastic surgeries, they are rather well known to the public. The changes she made to her body—her face, skin, and breasts—were hard to ignore, as they made a huge difference and departure than how she was before. Let's take a look at Jennifer Love Hewitt's past, to see how the pressure of staying attractive in Hollywood could have pushed her to plastic surgery.
Jennifer Love Hewitt Before Getting All Her Surgeries
Jennifer Love Hewitt has been in the show business since her infancy. She was a baby in diaper commercials, and continued to the Disney channel during her elementary years. This allowed her to gain traction from a young age. Early 1990s, she gained a leading role on the Party of Five as Sarah Reeve Merrin. And this is where her career as a beloved fan favorite with the public truly began to bloom.
She continued to take on the television world by starring in her very own show, the Ghost Whisper. After that project she had even more fans than before; and, she was even granted the title of sexiest woman on television by TV Guide magazine. This was followed up by her emmy nominated series The Client on Lifetime television. This peaked her sex appeal on screen. It also, may have been the start of her plastic surgery ordeal.
Throughout all of the success talked about previously, a huge emphasis for marketing Jennifer Love Hewitt was based solely in her sexuality. By the time The Client was ravaging viewer, Love Hewitt was a full blown sex symbol of the time period. But then things took a decline.
New starlets started sparking up the scene, and Jennifer Love Hewitt was being left behind. It was around this time that a majority of the known and speculated plastic surgeries are thought to have taken place. As, she began attending premieres to movies and shows that she produced with a new look and a entirely new air about her. So, it is rumored that perhaps Jennifer Love Hewitt began all these surgeries to get back in the public eye, maintaining her sex symbol status with body augmentation.

Noticing a Not So Subtle Change – Breast Augmentation Surgery
The second most eye-catching change to change on Jennifer Love Hewitt is the size and lift of her breasts. Once an average sized gal, she now has breasts that burst out of her dresses. It appears that she went up at least a cup size. Plus, her breasts once hung at a lower part of her chest, while they now rest higher, nearly right under her chin; something that is rare when a woman has average to large resting bosoms.
The High Possibility of a Nose Job – Rhinoplastic Surgery
As of 2004, people began to see a difference in Jennifer Lode Hewitt's facial features. It was subtle, but there was a difference to be seen. The changes made at the time was a very clever and well-done rhinoplastic surgery. The bridge of her nose was softened and shortened to her liking. To the date, Jennifer Love Hewitt has not admitted to the claim of her nose job to be valid.
However, there are resources of people saying that you can see the differences in her nose from her younger age to now that make it undeniable that she has had work on her nose performed. This has to do mainly with the new indention at the base of her nasal bridge. This is something that people are either born with, or something that happens in surgery; but. It cannot be grown into. Of that same persuasion, the tip of Love Hewitt's nose has differed as well. Once a button nose with a small crease on top of it, the tip of her nose now is flat and professionally shaved over.

Trimming off the Fat – Multiple Liposuction Surgeries
Liposuction is the process of removing unwanted fat from the body, and then improving the stretched skin. It allows patients and celebrities to get much thinner without sticking to a lifelong heathy diet and participating in tedious, everyday exercise. This is something that is speculated of Jennifer Love Hewitt's many surgeries.
This is due to the fact that in her photoshoot with Maxim magazine years ago, her figure was unnaturally think compared to how she had been prior to the shoot. Then after, she began guest starring on hosted night shows and continuing her series with a noticeably smaller frame. Instead of just blaming Photoshop on Maxim, which they used anyway, it was in the know to believe that Jennifer Love Hewitt had had a liposuction surgery performed.
Since then, Jennifer Love Hewitt has gained some healthy weight on her body, so she isn't just skin and bones. However, she is at the prime of her life health and fitness wise, but she still hasn't gotten as skinny as she was after that Maxim photoshoot. This just causes even more suspicion to circulate and more people to wonder.
Thickening the Skin to Tautness – Botox Shots in the Forehead Region
Jennifer Love Hewitt has always had great skin and a young-looking face. But, she is going into her late thirties, almost forty. By this time, it is natural and normal to start showing signs of wrinkles and laugh lines. Yet, Jennifer Love Hewitt does not have either of these.
Her skin is tight and firm, like that of a child or adolescent despite the fact that age is catching up with her. This could just be the luck of the draw, and Hewitt just so happens to have very plastic-like skin. However, with Botox and injection firming shots being a huge thing for stars in the spotlight, many have started to think that this celebrity has also been using them. It is unknown if she is in fact using the Botox in her forehead, but it is always a possibility for those head first in the media.
Facial Touch Ups Here and There
The last thing that many have speculated about Jennifer Love Hewitt is the minor changes around and on her faced. We have gone over the possibilities of Botox in the forehead and her rhinoplastic nose job, but it is rumored that she has also had little touch ups all over her face to keep herself looking the same way she did in her teenage years. Once again, this would be a form of conforming to the standards of beauty set up in Hollywood and television media.
This includes but is not limited to, a retouch of her lip's cupid's bow, indenting further in her chin, nipping and tucking at the edges of her jaw, and removing the crow's feet from her eyes. These are all the reported possibilities, but fans have speculated more than just that. If these touch ups are legitimate, it would explain just how she continues to look so young as she gets even older.
Concluding Thoughts on Jennifer Love Hewitt & Her Surgeries
Jennifer Love Hewitt has been an important symbol these past twenty years in media, so despite anything else she is special as an example of how sex appeal is portrayed in Hollywood. She has not admitted to the validity of her plastic surgeries, but undeniably they have occurred. And, it all may be a result to trying to reach expectations and standards that bar people from accreditation.
Her experiences and influence has not only shaped viewers, but other rising stars. Jennifer Love Hewitt's plastic surgery story may help them decide for themselves in the future if they want to go the path of cosmetic augmentation as well. The only way we will find out is watching as time passes by.

Grabbing a Sliver of Silver Could Pay Off in a Potentially Uncertain 2022
And an interesting way to get exposure to silver is via the Sprott Physical Silver Trust.
By JONATHAN HELLER
For the sake of transparency, this is a tough column to write, for me, anyway. Coming up with a single best idea for next year is a bit of a crapshoot, especially in this wacky environment, and that's just being honest.
That said, I am a bit surprised by the way silver performed in 2021. The spot price is down about 13.5% year to date, and that's in an inflationary environment. There evidently is still investor demand for physical silver, especially given the premiums for so-called "junk" silver (non-numismatic silver coins minted in 1964 and prior). While the spot price of silver hovers just under $23 an ounce, a $100 bag (face value, which contains about 71.5 ounces) of junk silver will cost you about $2,100. That's equates to around $29.37 an ounce, a 29% premium to the spot price.
Why would investors pay such a premium? That's due to the desire to hold actual metal, as opposed to a paper version. While that's a substantial premium, it pales in comparison to what we saw at the outset of the pandemic. The bottom line is that silver is not an investment per se, but rather a hedge against uncertainty. Uncertainty can include a range of issues, inflation being one of them.
I believe there will be plenty of uncertainty in 2022, the extent and duration of inflation being one of the contributors. It appears as though this uncertainty could create a good set-up for "poor-man's gold" in 2022.
One interesting way to get exposure to silver is via the Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV). Each unit of PSLV represents 0.3567 ounces of silver, and the silver bars that fully back the trust are stored at the Royal Canadian Mint. As of last Thursday, PSLV traded at a 3.08% discount to net asset value (NAV).
While owning PSLV is not the same as owning physical metal that you can hold in your hand, there is an interesting kicker here. Unit holders can redeem their shares for silver bars. Now, the minimum redemption is for 10 1,000-ounce bars, which would equate to about 28,035 shares of PSLV, so redemption is off the table for most investors. However, the notion that redemption is an option, along with the current discount to NAV, makes PSLV an interesting way to obtain silver exposure without buying the physical metal.
At the time of publication, Heller was long PSLV.

Burr and Burton's Joey McCoy
HOLLY PELCZYNSKI -- BENNINGTON BANNER
Athlete Spotlight: Burr and Burton's Joey McCoy
Posted Monday, February 11, 2019 1:03 am
By Adam Samrov, Bennington Banner
Burr and Burton's Joey McCoy has been a part of championship-winning teams in football and baseball, but hockey has been a love for the junior ever since he was little.
So far this season, McCoy is the leading scorer for the 7-6 Bulldogs after taking a year away from the ice to play basketball.
We had McCoy at the Banner offices this week to talk about going back to hockey, being a multi-sport athlete and his softer side.
Bennington Banner: You guys are in the thick of Division II, looking to finish the season on a high note before the postseason. How has the season been so far?
Joey McCoy: We have the final stretch coming up and we have a young team this year. We've been doing a lot of development. Ethan [Simonds], our goalie, has been playing outstanding this year. Coach [Mark] Slade is doing a great job with the team, trying to figure out where we all go and get the best lines clicking together. We're trying to finish strong to have a good seed for playoffs.
Banner: You're part of the No. 1 line on offense with Jordan Eisenman and Mark Carthy, how has it been working with them and trying to come together as a unit?
McCoy: We were put together later in the season, we're still trying to figure out what our lines were like. We've really done a good job getting our chemistry together, Jordan is a great passer, he's had a bunch of my assists. All in all, I think we're clicking and ready to hit the last stretch.
Banner: You have a lot of long trips, going to play teams like Missisquoi and Northfield in Northern Vermont. How are some of those trips like?
McCoy: The trips are fun, for sure. You try to get some team bonding going, they are long trips, so we have to come ready to play. Those are tough games to win up there, so we have to get in the right mentality and go up and play strong.
Banner: You play three varsity sports, football, hockey and baseball. Last year during the winter, you shed the hockey gear for a basketball uniform. Why did you make that choice and what was that change like?
McCoy: I've played hockey my whole life. Last year, I switched to basketball because it was my [brother, Jay's] last season in high school where I could play with him. He wanted to play basketball, so I decided to join with him so we could play one more year. I also wanted to try something new, wanted to see what it was like to play basketball [for the varsity].
Banner: You've been a part of the youth hockey programs in Manchester, the Northshire Hockey Association. Being involved in that for a bunch of years, what was that experience like growing up?
McCoy: It was great, I had a lot of great coaches along the way that have taught me so much over the years. Playing with teammates now that I had back then, it's like nothing really ever changed. It's really cool to see the changes in all of us.
Banner: Are you planning to play at the next level?
McCoy: I think I am going to try to play at the next level, but I'm not sure which sport yet. I'm leaning toward football and baseball. I'm excited to see what the future brings.
Banner: As a three-sport athlete, you've avoided the burnout that some face with specializing in one specific sport. How has playing three sports helped you as an athlete?
McCoy: I think playing three sports is a unique thing because each team is different and each sport requires different abilities and skills. The people on each team are great. It's important to keep yourself honest and have choices and expanding what you do is very beneficial.
Banner: How do you prepare for each sports season?
McCoy: I'm not going to lie, it's pretty tough. Usually going from sport to sport, you have about two to three weeks to get ready for the next one. It was especially tough for hockey this year having not played for a year and a half. You really have to be committed to sports and love it.
Banner: If you had to pick only one sport, which one would it be?
McCoy: It's a tough choice. I love them all the same, usually the season I'm in, that's the one I love. But if I had to pick, I would pick football. I love the physicality and the mentality of football, we've had a lot of success with Coach [Jason] Thomas over the years and it's got a soft spot in my heart.
Banner: What's your plan for college, if you have one yet?
McCoy: In my junior year now, that's a question that keeps coming up. I want to do physical therapy or something in special education. I'm searching for schools right now to see what fits me.
Banner: Is your brother helping you in the college process?
McCoy: He did his process and I'm doing my own thing. He has taught me a couple of things I need to know and it's helpful to know what's going on, but we're taking our own paths and I'm excited to see where I end up.
Banner: Let's talk about some things away from the ice. Who's your favorite teacher and class at BBA?
McCoy: Favorite teacher is probably Mr. [Peter] Nicholson, he's my English teacher, I've had him about every year so far and he's really good at what he does. My favorite class is probably P-Fit [physical fitness] with Coach Thomas, that's usually pretty fun. But I really like math, I have Miss [Jessica] Handler, I'm having fun with that class this year.
Banner: What's your favorite TV show?
McCoy: I'm a big Family Feud guy, I like to guess the answers and figure it out. I also love the Giants, so I'm usually watching football on Sundays.
Banner: What type of music do you listen to?
McCoy: I like some of the rap stuff, but I'm also into the slow stuff, the love songs, you like to get that vibe going.
