Facing Change Coaching Clients Learning Together
With each client, I gained insights + distinctions about my coaching style. Clients are trapped in older narratives that don’t serve them anymore.

A unique setting and exposure to concepts, resources and tools from distinguished faculty and staff was fertile ground to confirm WhyZone.
