You are a coach in someone's life. They are counting on you to be what they need. Someone who will come along side and help, not by telling them what to do, but by exploring the options with them. They will make the necessary decisions. It is your job to help them investigate the possibilities and give them the freedom and power to choose what's best for them. This book is intended to give an overview of life coaching. Together, we will explore some of the skills necessary, even practicing those skills and experiencing the joy of watching the triumph of new insights in those with whom you are working. It is a primer, not meant to be comprehensive or exhaustive. Once you have a taste, you'll be able to go on to other resources to develop and refine your coaching skills. You may be on your first leg in a long and rewarding journey called life coaching.
