The Download
When you feel empowered to make your own decisions you are much more likely to action them because they will help you move forward in a way that works for you. This is where your 'expertise' comes in. You know yourself best. Sometimes you just need a Coach to help you get there.
If I gave you advice, they are my thoughts. I own those and you may not want to!
If I coach you, I'm being observant of your words and actions, to help me formulate questions and techniques to draw out the best in you now and in the future.
