Discover who you want to be
During airplane safety announcements you are always told that you should put on your own oxygen mask first before helping other people.
Learning life coaching for personal development is like that. You will learn the “coach approach” to challenges and personal interactions. You will learn ways to follow your values. Learning the skills to grow your life can be a wonderful journey of self-discovery.
You will grow and when you do you will help others to grow automatically. You will model healthy, wholesome behaviors. You will be visibly more confident and make better decisions. Those things will serve the people around you in your day-to-day life — friends, family, coworkers, everyone.
You will learn how to:
• Deepen listening skills
• Ask powerful questions
• Identify personal values
• Overcome inner obstacles
• See situations and people from different perspectives
• Process deep emotions
• Forgive yourself and others
• AND ABOVE ALL: To own your power!
