Mr. Ivan Yates:

I am not asking the public to take any lead. I am asking the public to examine what I have said in a different role. The nature of coaching I have described as like a physio on a team. I am not the bainisteoir; I am not the selector. My job is to anticipate the questions. They come up with the answers to deal with the task in hand. It is an agnostic activity and I could do it for people who are C-level executives, people whose jobs are under threat in the public or private sector, or for NGOs. It is a simple task. I teach people about body language, breathing, phrases and so on. I regard that as a mechanical exercise and I do not think it conflicts with what I think or say.
