Words are powerful and distinctions help us turn words into roadmaps for action.
If you don’t already have a bias for action, my work won’t help you.
But if you are or want to become an action hero, you’ll want to become obsessed with words, their meanings and ensuing...

I’m often asked to explain what makes for a “great” Life Coach, as well as the reverse.
So here's my list of 9 things a great coach can help her clients with and 7 things she/he can leave to other professions.

She was angry at herself and stuck in a cycle of rumination over a totally innocent mistake she had made.

However, as...

My client, Sebastian, thinks he’s behind on “life”.
He thinks he missed the memo the rest of us received on how to live a happy life.
