Life Faculty, Student to Co-Present – James Williams, UG Student

At Worldwide Coaching Conference

A professor and student from Life University have been invited to present at a prestigious international conference in Las Vegas this fall. Dr. Cherry Collier, teacher in the psychology and life coaching degree programs, and Life student James Williams, have been invited to give a 90-minute presentation at the International Coach Federation (ICF) 2011 Conference this September.

The pair share a passion for life coaching, which helps people to move out of their own way, set goals, and create the business, relationship, financial, and health successes they want.  Together, they’ll share information about how psychology research and theories support the work of the nearly 10,000 life coaches worldwide.

Dr. Collier has worked for a decade as a highly successful executive coach with corporate managers and entrepreneurs. James Williams, specializes in health coaching and draws together his skills, experience, and qualifications from the nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle management professions.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to give back to the life coaching profession, and put Life University on the map as a premier Life Coaching school,” said Dr. Collier.

Ask the Coach – Dawn Kreusser, Life Coaching Club

Question:

“I’m most of the way through my undergraduate program and have accumulated $40,000 of student loan debts. I graduate in two quarters and I’m freaking out about how I’ll start repaying it.”

Coach’s answer

First of all, congratulations on being so close to completing college! Life coaching is about getting beneath the surface of your worries. You mentioned that you are “freaking out” which is a pretty strong statement; try exploring that statement even further. What is the root of your “freak out?” This will help you pin point where to go next. For instance, does your anxiety come from uncertainty about finding a job when you graduate? Or does your anxiety come from a lack of knowledge on loan repayment options? Or are you the type of person whose anxiety is relieved by a specific, detailed plan? Perhaps even the most detailed plan won’t alleviate your anxiety because what you really need is to confront your apprehension about leaving the school that’s been your home for years. Or maybe “freaking out” is your way of motivating yourself toward action and is actually very helpful to you. The answers to these questions will help you to deepen your understanding of yourself and your situation.

If you feel you need more information or knowledge to alleviate your anxiety, where will you start? You could brainstorm options, including researching websites such as www.brokegradstudent.com, talk with financial aid counselors, and ask friends or family members who have been through the same situation about what they did and how they handled it. Really push yourself to come up with as many options as possible, even crazy ones.

You could create a spreadsheet of exactly how much you need to pay each month and how long it will take you to pay it. You could make two copies of the spreadsheet. Keep one and burn the other to show those loans that you’re the boss! Brainstorm until you can’t think of anything else, then think of two more ideas. Write them all down and pick the ones you think will work for you. How will you feel once you have accomplished those ideas?

Once you have picked an action to accomplish, when will you do it by? Be specific: “I will research three loan advice websites by May 1^st.” The more specific you are, the more likely you are to accomplish the task and reduce your anxiety. Find a friend and ask him/her to keep you accountable. Most of all, enjoy the learning process. Good luck!

The Power to Change Lives – James Williams, UG Student

Why you should coach your patients

Teach a person to fish, and you feed them for a lifetime ends the Chinese proverb. This old adage may sound cliché, but we can all use its timeless power. Bring to mind for a moment something you want to change in your life and need help with. How would it feel to have a teacher who supports you in your endeavor, won’t criticize or judge you, and wants you to succeed?

What if this teacher helps you discover exactly how to make that change happen, in a way that you choose is right for you, free of any agendas; would you want them on your side? How about if they sat with you to identify the barriers to your success and how to overcome every one of them – is that someone to have in your life?  We have them right here at Life U.

The best teachers are coaches

Instead of being teachers in the traditional sense, the Life Coaching program interns teach you to fish. They help you to catch hold of your inner strengths, which at times are obscured by the muddy waters of doubt, guilt, and fear. Using a skill named process coaching, the interns will talk you through your inspirational and motivational blocks, and assist you in transforming them.

After a coaching session, the rules of how to get what you want are imperceptibly rewritten, and you’re more at ease about following through with any goals you set for yourself. It’s as if you can see the challenge ahead with your eyes wide open.

You’re still the same you underneath; no one has waved a magic wand, but something is subtly different. There’s a sense that your inner strength has been nourished at a deep level, and the fears you felt in the past have diminished and been replaced with a quiet knowingness that you will succeed. Together with your coach, you talk through the barriers to success, one-by-one, and identifiy what you’ll do to overcome them. The process of talking makes you comfortably aware of the fears, instead of letting them lurk disruptively beneath the surface. Your coaching session creates a gentle sense of peace and confidence inside you.

Coaching boosts motivation to change:

The beauty of coaching is that change actually happens between sessions. Process coaching is only one of many types of coaching which helps people make life-transforming shifts. Its great power comes from making you aware of the thoughts and feelings needed to clear your path to feeling intrinsically motivated. If emotions scare you, ask yourself these two questions: How can you change without feeling motivated? How can you feel motivated without knowing what feelings you need to access?

From an emotional standpoint, coaching is unlike therapy or counseling. Rather than emphasizing the past, coaching instead focuses on the present and future, which makes the experience lighter, more inspired, and insightful.

Delivering exceptional service – How you can use coaching:

You can also give the gift of this powerful experience to your clients and colleagues. When you leave Life U, at some point you’ll be either an employer or an employee. Whichever you become, others will need your help many times throughout your life. As soon as you hear a knock on the door for your assistance, you have several choices:

1. You can tell them what to do, which will probably be reminiscent of their parents, schoolteachers, and other authority figures or experts. This kind of relationship is what most doctors have with their patients and is built on inequality. It’s a relationship where one person knows more than the other, which is built on power and authority.

2. You can leave them to get on with it and discover how to do it themselves. This is unsupportive and your actions would say that you’re not willing to help;

3. You can coach them through it, working side by side as a partner. To do this you listen and ask questions. Each of your inquiries will help the other person to discover and decide what to do for themselves. They’ll appreciate you helping them to learn for themselves, and for being right there with them.

You can either coach people to fish for themselves, or give them a fish by telling them what to do. With the latter, you make them dependent on you and create an unhealthy relationship built on need and codependency. As a health or business professional, you’ll also experience the ongoing frustration of people abdicating self-responsibility and not following through with your recommendations. This is exactly the way that doctors, managers, exercise and sports trainers, and many nutritionists have been practicing for a few decades.

Instead of dictating what people need to do, acting as if we know what is best for business, and for the patient’s body, we must empower people by fully including them in the decision making process. Change then becomes a beautiful journey of discovery embarked on together by the client and coach.

Real people – Real benefits:

What you are about to read may sound controversial. It is meant in the spirit of helping you think wider than what you’re taught so we can help more people, more effectively: What good is it to give a patient a medication, adjustment, nutritional plan, or exercise program if you fail to coach them through the blocks to implementing it in their life?

• The chiropractic patient will keep returning to your office having vertebra or groups of vertebra out of alignment; chiropractic treatments can be fully preventative when patients are coached on how to be aware of their body, what good posture feels like, what muscles to stretch and strengthen which are contributing to subluxations, which mobility exercises to perform, and how to move their body safely to prevent repeated misalignments.

• A nutritional patient’s compliance with their meal plan will be low because a stressful event happened soon after they were given their plan, and they resorted to their old comfort-eating habits. These individuals need coaching through the emotional blocks to eating healthily on a consistent basis, and they need to learn new ways to cope with stress instead of relying on food if they’re going to stay on their eating plan consistently.

• The exercise client will keep saying their lack of energy or not having enough time were the reasons for them not going to the gym or performing their rehabilitation exercises frequently enough. These individuals may benefit from their trainer coaching them through their values, which helps people to identify what is truly important to them. When the client is clear that exercising is vital for their health and happiness, they can be coached through the barriers to making it a top priority, and exercise more regularly.

• Then there’s the business partner or colleague who can’t seem to pull their weight at work and seems unmotivated, resulting in you or others having to do more work. Maybe they need coaching to understand what they need to feel more motivated so their productivity can return to normal?

In each of these cases, the patient, client, or colleague knows what they should be doing, and feels tension because they’re not following through. As a coach, you can help reduce that tension by coaching them through their motivational blocks and watching them talk themselves into changing. We help people change by involving them every step of the way and giving them power to choose what is right for them. Our agenda is not always best or right for our clients.

If you’re not coaching, you’re persuading

Persuading others to change and do what we think is right for them is most likely to fail because the other person has not been invited to be part of the process. Just imagine someone telling you what to do with your life, not listening to your needs or what’s important to you, let alone whether you can or want to do what they’re suggesting. What would that feel like? To add further tension, the person fails to tell you how to do what they’re suggesting.

Every person who dispenses advice or recommendations, whether as a doctor, practitioner or friend is doing just that. It’s akin to dropping a fishing line into the ocean and blindly hoping a fish will bite. It’s far better to teach a person to fish for their own success and be right there with them, than keep throwing them a fish and saying, “Here, now eat this, just don’t ask me how.”

Coaches give life adjustments:

Chiropractors adjust patients‘ spines, nutritionists modify nutritional habits, and exercise science majors alter people’s workouts. Life coaches give life adjustments so that change happens smoothly and with a greater probability of success. Having life coaching skills will improve the results you and your patients experience, whether you’re a chiropractor, nutritionist, exercise science practitioner, or business major. The coaching program at Life University has been revamped for 2011 to help you learn real, usable skills. It is worth taking next quarter; dip your toes in the water by starting with the introduction to coaching class.

How could you life benefit from a life adjustment? Every Tuesday, between 5:30-6:30PM in room 114 in Annex B / CUS, the Life Coaching club has skilled student interns available to help you get more out of your life. It is open to all members of the Life community, and all we ask from you is a $1 charitable donation.

Come and visit us, call 678 653 2080 or email ThatsLifeCoaching@gmail.com for more information.

Ask The Coach #2 – Life Coaching Club

Ask The Coach is a new, regular column in the Vital Source. In each edition, Life’s top intern life coaches provide guidance and support in response to students’ questions about pressing life issues. You are welcome to submit your question to faculty member Dr. Cherry Collier at: cherry.collier@life.edu, who will maintain your confidentiality by keeping your identity anonymous.

What would you like help with? What are you juggling in your life that you need a fresh perspective on? Get writing!

Q: “I am a full time student and very focused on my classes…to the point where my spouse is telling me we do not spend any time together anymore. How can I remain focused on my classes but also show my spouse how much I care about our relationship? I need help balancing the two”.

A: Wow, that sounds stressful!  Let me first recognize the courage you had to have in order to take on pursuing your education while also being in a committed relationship.  I see that your commitment to school is very important right now, but since you also don’t want that to take away from your relationship with your spouse, I think you and I should work collaboratively to come up with a plan that helps you feel balanced.
I would like you to participate in an exercise called the “Future Self.”  To start this exercise, find a comfortable position in a place where you won’t be interrupted for at least ten minutes.  While focusing on the in-and-out of your breath, let yourself relax further and further.  Next, I want you to imagine yourself after you have graduated.  Imagine what your appearance looks like, the look on your face and notice how you feel.  Then, let your current self approach your future self and start a conversation.  Share with your future self everything about how you currently feel, including your concerns and what you desire to happen.  After you have fully expressed yourself, pay close attention to the sage advice your future self will give you.  Let your future self tell you how you made it to graduation and what you did in order to get there feeling balanced.  Since you and your future self are the same person, you can trust this advice.  Make sure to find a way to remember what your future self tells you so you can go to that advice whenever you need it on your educational journey.
I hope this exercise helped lead you closer to your goal of feeling balanced.  However, if you find yourself needing more, please come visit The Coaching Club on Tuesdays at 5:30pm in CUS room 206 to speak to a coach in person.

 

When Words Are as Mighty as the Adjustment – James Williams, DC Student

Find out how life coaching can help you succeed in practice

How can words work wonders when it’s a chiropractor’s hands that make an adjustment?

The power of your words can make a huge difference to your patients, and do more than help them feel more relaxed and confident in your efficacy. As a doctor of chiropractic, you can use a coaching approach to communicate with, educate, and motivate your patients.

Coaching is a way to help people make changes in their life that is more empowering than simply telling them what to do. If you practice like most doctors, you’re probably acting like a consultant, where you tell your patients what they need to do before they ask, or the patient asks you a question, and you give them an answer. Often, patients will nod and seem to swallow the information you give them, but you don’t know whether they’ll act on it.

The medical model has advocated the doctor as being the knowledgeable person in patient-doctor interactions, and this has led to doctors giving orders and not engaging patients in the decision-making process. Patients are left feeling disempowered and unmotivated, which results in them not taking responsibility for their health, not being proactive, and doing the bare minimum, which is often just taking a pill once or twice a day.

But here’s the crunch; people come to you for help. You’ve got some awesome information and practical tips, yet most patients don’t perform the self-care activities you ask them to do.

Have you ever wondered why that happens, and more importantly, what you can do about it? If you’d like to learn how to increase the success rate of patient compliance then read on, because using the coaching approach, you’ll discover how you can help your patients take better care of themselves between visits.

But hold on, why should you use a coaching approach ?
-       Clients stay pain free for longer;
-       They’re happier;
-       They see the value of your work;
-       They refer you to others;
-       You help more people;
-       The referrals keep coming in;
-       You make more money.

Before you start asking your patients to engage in between-visit activities, you have to know how ready they are to change. If you don’t, your message won’t resonate with the patient, and they won’t act on it.

Knowing which stage of change your patients are in for the activity you want them to do is important. It will help you pitch your message in such a way that you’ll plant a seed of change in your patient’s mind. That seed will grow at some future, unknown time; initially it needs the patient’s mind to nourish it by ruminating on the topic.

The rumination leads to the patient becoming more aware of the importance of having a healthy spine. Education helps, but ramming information down their throat when they’re not ready to hear it will bring up feelings of resistance to your message, which is generally counterproductive. Engaging in self-care and regular office visits will become a priority for your patients when they’re ready to commit to making change. But before they can commit, they need to contemplate why they should change, and mentally and emotionally know that the pros of the activity you want them to do outweighs the cons.

Even though you don’t know when the seed of change will sprout, sadly for some people, this might involve them feeling more pain.  When they’ve experienced enough emotional discomfort they’ll move a stage closer to committing to act, and then to acting. You need to trust their seed will sprout, and they’ll do what they need to do when they are ready, not when you, the doctor, want them to. All it takes is for you to trust it will happen, and be there to support them. Stop trying to change your patients – help them change themselves and watch miracles happen.

Below is a brief description of each of the six stages of change. Reading the book, Changing For Good by James Prochaska, John Norcross and Carlos DiClemente is highly recommended if you want to understand your patients, how to pitch self-care and even sales messages to them.

Precontemplation: patients are not thinking about making changes and may be actively resisting the need to make them.

Contemplation: The decision to change has not been made, however the patient is considering the pros and cons before committing.
Planning: The pros outweigh the cons, and the patient has committed to change. They’re looking around for information to guide them on what changes to make.
Action: Here the patient is taking steps to change their life. People in this stage represent less than 20% of the population according to research by Prochaska, Norcross and DiClemente.
Maintenance: After starting to take action, the patient is continuing to change for an extended period of time.
Termination: a change in values has helped the new behavior become part of the person’s way of living.

As you read this, maybe you realize you are in fact powerless to force your patients to change, no matter how many times you ask or tell them to engage in a self-care activity. You change no one; your patients change themselves. The patient must be aware of the need and benefits of changing. They must buy into change with their heart as well as their mind.

This is where coaching comes in. By building rapport and an ongoing relationship with patients, you connect with them deeply and open the door for them to change. Connecting with them deeply allows them to relax around you, trust you, and feel accepted for who they are – bulging discs and all. When people develop this kind of relationship with you through coaching, the way you talk with them will plant seeds of change that will sprout between office visits or over the course of several visits.

We’re not using coaching to manipulate.  Instead, we’re joining with the patient to create a powerful relationship allowing them to safely explore the possibilities for change, and which gently allows them to convince themselves they can make it happen. Your patients will pick-up on your belief in them, and once they can believe they can change, it’s time to start planning and have them tell you how they can easily incorporate self-care activities into their life.

Let’s see some of these coaching principles in action. Below is an example of a discussion you could have with a patient to increase their self-care.
Scenario #1: John, a patient comes in with lower back and leg pain. He is in precontemplation with regard to doing anything between visits to prevent another subluxation.

Some of the conversational tools that can be used when a patient is in precontemplation include increasing their awareness of the issue, confrontations, and providing feedback that creates a discrepancy between their view of the situation and what’s really happening.
Doctor: “There we go John, your adjustment is complete for today.”
Patient: “That’s great doc. Thanks so much.”
Doctor: “There’s something else I’d like to do for you.”
Patient: “What’s that.”
Doctor: “You were in considerable pain today when you came in”
Patient: “Sure, now it feels much better, but my back is probably getting better, right?”
Doctor: “I’m going to be really honest with you John. Now, I don’t want to scare you, it’s just that when I look at your x-rays, I see that the subluxation of your L5 disc is creating a damaging bulge, and that the annular tear I told you about is getting worse…” [Consciousness raising and discrepant feedback]
Patient: “So what does that mean Doc?”
Doctor: “It means that your disc is changing shape, and that it may touch your nerves more often. What happens when your discs touch your nerves John?”   [Consciousness raising]
Patient: “I feel pain, right?” [Increasing awareness]
Doctor: “As the tear and disc movement increases, how is this going to affect your pain levels?” [Increasing awareness]
Patient: “They’ll get worse?”
Doctor: “Yes, and I know that you don’t like being in pain, and that you don’t want to do things at home to prevent the pain…What I’m saying is that adjustments on their own will only help so much, and that if you want to have less pain, you’re going to have to do something at home between office visits.” [Confrontation]
Patient: “Let me think about that Doc. I appreciate your honesty, I do. I’m just not sure right now.”
Doctor: “I understand John. You might be feeling shocked about what I just said about your spine changing and the likelihood of there being more pain. And I know that you’ve felt uneasy about doing a two-minute exercise once a day. Just know that it will help to reduce your pain…I’m here for you John, so let me know how I can help.”
Patient: “Okay Doc, thanks.”
Doctor: “Jodie will take care of you at reception. See you next week.”
Although this is a short, two-minute conversation, it raises the patient’s level of consciousness regarding their pain, and makes them aware of the consequences of their present course of action. It also acknowledges that they feel resistant about self-care and accepts their decision. Instead of rushing them into action, it plants the seed and permits the patient to inquire about what to do, when they’re ready.

Learning coaching skills, such as those taught in the coaching certificate program at Life University, gives you the ability to listen and plant seeds in your patients’ minds. Your words will become a powerful ally to your adjustments, and your practice will flourish.

Ask the Coach – Life Coaching Club

 

Ask a LIFE Life Coach is a new, regular column in Vital Source. In each edition, Life University’s top Life Coaching interns will provide guidance and support in response to students’ questions about pressing life issues. You are welcome to submit your question to faculty member Dr. Cherry Collier at cherry.collier@life.edu, who will maintain your confidentiality by keeping your identity anonymous. So, What would you like help with? What are you juggling in your life that you need a fresh perspective on? Get writing!

Q. – I need help! I am a busy wife, mom and student and I work full-time. I give to everyone else, and I have no time at all for me. I am starting to resent this situation I have found myself in. What can I do to make more time for myself, when I have run out of time?

A. – Sounds like you would benefit greatly from working with a Life Coach! All the discipline in the world doesn’t matter, if you don’t know what you really want. What I’m hearing is that you are feeling cheated and perhaps a little resentful for your lack of “me time.” Am I on the right track? You have let everything and everyone else dominate your time. Since you’re only given 24 hours each day to accomplish your tasks, we will have to find a way to make your life work within those parameters.

As your Life Coach, I am here to support you in discovering how you can push past the things that may be blocking you, so you can help yourself succeed. Considering what you have on your plate right now, how can you find a way to live within the 24-hour day?

As we work together to reach your goal of having “me time,” I want to ask you to reflect on a few questions: What would happen if you took a little more time for yourself? What would it look like for you to feel balanced? What values do you have that are not being honored?

Here is a Breakthrough Exercise I would like you to try:
List three things you need to say “no” to in order to say “yes” to three things just for You.
No:
1.
2.
3.
Yes:
1.
2.
3.

Part of the Life Coaching process of self-discovery will be for you to recognize your “core values,” eliminate excess “noise” from your life, and set goals that are in line with your values. A Life Coach can help you create structure and effective strategies to accomplish your goals reasonably, which will perhaps lead to fulfilling your life dreams. By holding you accountable for what you want to achieve and helping you to consider your interests first, you will be able to take care of things, set your priorities, and create a shift in thinking that will help you carve out a path that works for you.

Coaching for Success – James Williams, UG Student

Life coaching has come to Life University

Success is not a one-person job. We all need help in life, and smart people know when to ask for help.

Sometimes though it’s easy to think that we can do it all ourselves, because we’ve struggled through challenges before. Yet why struggle? There’s nothing noble in stressing yourself out when you can ask for help and make life a little easier.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with demands from school work, employment, and family time. Having an objective supporter to cheer us on, who helps us to simplify life, and create the success we’re working hard to achieve is a God-send. That supporter is a life coach.

Dr. Cherry Collier, a successful, practicing life coach, has developed a first-class life coaching program for Life University students. Last quarter, the first students graduated, ready and eager to help others with their new skills.

What is coaching?

A life coach is different from a consultant, mentor, counselor, or therapist. Coaching is a process that helps people to find solutions to their challenges. To make this happen, a life coach uses powerful questions and other change techniques. A life coach knows how to listen to others, and uses intuition to allow the conversation to flow in the direction of what will bring the client or patient success. For those of you who are more scientifically-minded, read the book Motivational Interviewing: Preparing People For Change, by William Miller Ph. D, and Stephen Rollnick Ph.D if you want to understand how powerful questioning gets results.

Compared with a life coach, a consultant tells you what to do, kind of like a sports coach or physician does. Coaching, however, is different from consulting. A life coach helps to motivate instead of removing personal power by telling people what to do. In other words, coaching enables people to find their own solutions. Motivational research also shows that when people have the autonomy to make a free choice, their willingness to act is boosted. So how is coaching useful to health, exercise, and business professionals?

As chiropractors, nutritionists, and sports and fitness coaches, we encourage our clients and patients to practice self-care between office visits and training sessions. We do this because it produces better results.

Acting like a consultant and telling patients, clients, and athletes what to do is less empowering and robs them of the will to act; the chances of them following through are reduced, which negatively affects the results they achieve. We don’t help people to achieve their best when we tell them what to do.

Coaching increases income

When our livelihood is dependent on getting excellent results for people, it pays to help clients find their own motivation to take care of themselves by using a coaching approach. In a nutshell, coaching teaches you how to speak with clients to encourage them to motivate themselves to engage in self care between sessions.

Coaching is also helpful outside of the health profession. Business majors also need to know coaching skills. High employee turn-over and employee performance problems are consistently resolved by coaching staff members instead of telling them what to do. Even though coaching is a separate program from the other majors offered at Life University, practicing coaching skills with patients, clients, and colleagues is integral to their success and yours.

Some of the key reasons that patients sue medical practitioners nowadays is because doctors use poor communication skills following a medical error. Taking the life coaching associates degree or certificate program is effective insurance against the hassle of malpractice lawsuits if you’re a chiropractor, or biopsychology major looking to go to medical school or become a psychologist or psychiatrist.

Life coaches are not therapists

Mental health professionals such as counselors and therapists focus on a person’s past as well as their emotional life. In contrast, life coaches focus on the now and the future because the now is where we all need to live if we want to achieve future success. Life coaching is positively focused and doesn’t require clients to recall their life story in order to create success. Saying that, life coaches don’t necessarily ignore emotions or their impact.

People often start coaching because they’re experiencing excessive levels of mental and emotional tension which they can’t cope with. Coaches help to make clients’ lives easier by focusing the conversation on the challenges which elicit the most tension. This approach enables the client to verbally explores the challenge and the solutions, clearing the way for future action and success. A coach considers their clients as creative, resourceful, and whole; their clients are not broken, don’t need to be fixed, and are 100 per cent responsible for their actions and their own life.

Viewing the patient this way frees the coach from being in an analytical or problem-solving mindset. They can be there right in the moment with the client, listening out for the verbal and behavioral cues the client offers. Observing and acting on these cues helps the coach to keep the conversation flowing. Somewhere in that flow, the clients finds their way to resolve their challenge by coming up with an appropriate goal they can take away and put into action.

Coaching is not just for executives

Even though the business world has embraced coaching for the past two decades, budding CEOs and busy students need coaching too. If your graduation is coming up and you need a coach to be accountable to as you plan your new chiropractic business, contact Dr. Cherry Collier (email: cherry.collier@life.edu)  to be put in contact with one of the pool of excellent life coaches here at Life.

If you’re a parent who is juggling school, work, and family commitments, it’s also easy to feel overwhelmed and in need of support. A life coach can assist you in streamlining your life, making it more simple and manageable, and show you how to feel in control of your life again. Contact Dr. Collier to find a coach. If you are interested in learning more about Life Coaching there is a Life Coaching Drop-In on November 9th, 16th, 30th in Annex B, room 114 from 5-6pm.

Life coaching is an exciting and highly practical program here at Life University which gives students skills that improve client retention and success. If you’re a student who needs the support of a life coach then contact Dr. Collier to find a coach.
