I think people should immediately hire grammar and correct English usage coaches because the efforts in communication from too many, including the host, Charles Osgood upon occasion, are appalling.
I strive for purism and expect perfection from professional communicators.

Thanks for your story on 'Life Coaching'. It helped clear the mystery and explain that our job as coaches is to help people uncover the best in themselves, not by providing answers, but by asking the right questions to help clients see themselves in a completely new way.

Thank you for educating the public on the incredible benefits received from hiring a life or executive coach. Sometimes all it takes is for someone to be there consistently focused on YOU, the client, to explore possibilities and opportunities to create change. Coaching is action-oriented with accountability and forward movement as the coach partners with his/her client. It's the coach who holds the flashlight as the client makes his way through the forest to discover and uncover his own answers.

Your coverage was a good glimpse of what clients could expect from hiring a coach--especially the divorce and executive portions.

Thanks!

Your segment on "Life Coaching" was timely. Many people don't feel all obstacles necessarily need "treatment", and see "coaching" as a learning tool, rather than a crutch. Used appropriately, the gains are heartening - for client and coach, alike!
