“It’s never too late to become the person you might have been”
–George Eliot

The foundation for coaching is a partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives without a hint of judgment or shame. The client makes the decisions and choices. The coach is not fixing a problem or leading with advice.
Coaches help clients design their future, rather than get over their past. Because coaching is focused on goals and behavioral change it is three times more effective than therapy, at a third of the cost.
