Being Assessed in About 10 Minutes
Debra intentionally intended to receive coaching for her career, but during our initial call, I discovered that was not the real problem.
After our call, Debra started thinking differently, and was surprised at my astute ability to hit her in the head with what was going on in her mind, life, and history.
The Real Challenge
Debra's biggest challenge was forgiving herself. At first, she did not realize that being unable to effectively and successfully forgive herself was hindering her from doing a great job in her career.
