Does Life Coaching Actually Work?
You want to change your life. You want radical transformation: to get motivated, to be happier, to be more confident, to reach your goals; you want an awesome life. And rightfully so.

Thankfully, there is also hard data from the ICF, the world’s most highly reputed coaching organization, that coaching is indeed effective.
To help illustrate the overall effectiveness of life coaching, Life Coach Spotter recently released this infographic to help show you that coaching really does work:

Body Intelligence: An Undervalued Leadership Asset
Leaders often equate success with intellectual and strategic acumen, while undervaluing physical awareness. However, body intelligence—the ability to tune into physical signals—is just as critical.
