Publisher's Synopsis
Wellness coaching isn't just about health. It's about all aspects of a person's life. A person who has good health but poor relationships with other people will feel out of balance. This book leads you through the coaching process that we use a Compass Wellness CoachingTM. The first two chapters lay the foundation for coaching the coaching process. The next five chapters discuss each of the core elements in the Compass Wellness CoachingTM model. The final chapters discuss how to help clients ensure that the changes that you have helped them make become permanent changes, and how to start your coaching practice. Coaching is an exciting and rewarding career. You will find that some of the time you are a consultant helping clients apply best life practices to their lives. Other times you will be a teacher, teaching clients new ways of thinking and responding to events and challenges. At other times you may be their guide. Years ago I climbed Huayna Potosí in the Bolivian Andes. I hired a local guide and after a couple of training days he told me, "I'm just your guide. I can't climb the mountain for you. You will have to do that on your own. Some of the time, when the path is dangerous, I'll take the lead and I will expect you to step in my foot prints. Other times I'll point out the path and let you take the lead. I'll always be with you to point out the way, but I can't climb the mountain for you. You do that alone." That was some of the best coaching advice that I every received. I hope, in this book, I do the same for you
