My coaching clients have left their stereotypical thinking behind, thrown off their insecurities and fears to do great things! They have become computer literate, published authors, public speakers and lay preachers. Some have traveled to places they had always dreamed about, others have stepped into roles with family and friends in important new ways that have given them a sense of self-worth and deep feelings of fulfillment.
