Building a Bridge to a New Career

Lydia Rose Pettis

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to explore the possibility of becoming a life coach. It pulls together readings in key areas of personal interest that contribute to the development of a personal philosophy of coaching: visualization, questions, and humanistic psychology. The project documents an integrative process. As one cycle comes to an end I am reaching into the near and distant past, and combining skills, talents, and abilities in a new (and some would say surprising) way. The project is intended to lay the groundwork for starting a coaching practice in the near future.
