Life Coaching (see ChangedLifeCoach.com)
Coaching is not counseling; nor is it therapy. Coaching, however, is therapeutic; it offers healing in the forward or future tense. Hence, coaching is pragmatic and present/future oriented. It is based on the incredible possibility available to you in the abundance of life and discovering your full potential in your unique sphere of influence. Coaching can be particularly useful at times when important decisions are being made. Coaches are committed to being highly catalytic agents of change for their clients.
