How does life coaching fit into the theme and message of As We Are? How can we allow ourselves to be "as we are" and simultaneously want to change?

Many people miss the distinction between changing to meet other people's standards and changing as we grow into our best selves. In missing this distinction, it's possible to cheat ourselves out of opportunities to expand our lives and creating the life we dream of for ourselves.

What comes to mind when you think about life coaching? Do you believe the job of a life coach is to kick your butt, crack the whip, and make you accountable for what you said you'd do?

Life coaching is a professional relationship that supports people in achieving extraordinary results in their lives.
