"As human beings, whether we are aware of it or not, we are forever seeking to make the best possible adaptation to the circumstances in which we find ourselves. Often, we retain strategies that made sense in one setting... but are not the best fit for our current situations. The secret to both personal and professional success and satisfaction is increasing our awareness of the choices we are making, building a wider repertoire of ways of responding and practicing (with support) new ways of adapting to the lives we are living now! Great coaching supports the process of building new awareness and finding the best pathway to the changes you want to create and sustain in your life!"
