There was this business coach who had a client who was extremely shy during presentations. The coach made the client practice in front of a group of kindergarten kids.

Well, here's one. A business coach was working with a small startup. The team was very serious all the time and it was affecting their creativity.

There was a family - owned business that was struggling with management issues. A business coach came in and taught them modern management techniques.

One funny coaching story is about a soccer coach. He was trying to teach his young players how to do headers. He demonstrated it so enthusiastically that he accidentally head - butted the goalpost and ended up with a big red mark on his forehead.

Sure. There was a company that decided to have a team - building exercise at a ropes course. One of the managers, who was a bit overweight, got stuck halfway up a climbing wall.

Sure. There was a small bakery where the owner accidentally put salt instead of sugar in a big batch of cookies. When customers tasted them, they made the funniest faces. The owner quickly realized the mistake and offered free cakes to make up for it.
I recall a story where a business coach was trying to teach a group about negotiation skills. Instead of using the usual role - playing scenarios, they set up a 'negotiation circus'. Each person had to use circus - like tricks to persuade the other. It was so funny, like someone juggling while making their points. And it worked, as the group really grasped the concepts of negotiation better.

Sure. One funny business success story is about a guy who started a pet rock business. He literally sold rocks as pets.

Sure. There was a small toy store. Right before Christmas, they accidentally ordered twice as many teddy bears as they needed.

Sure. There was a story about a small bakery. The owner found out that his supplier was overcharging him for flour. Instead of just changing suppliers and keeping quiet, he told the old supplier about the unethical behavior. The supplier was so ashamed that they not only corrected the price but also gave the bakery a big discount for future orders as an apology.
