Griff,
I subscribed to your blog. I plan to spend more time going over your information. I like what I see and I think you and I probably have a lot in common. I have written two books and while I connect with people on many levels and in different environments (business, college and youth athletics, etc.) I don’t bill myself as a ‘life coach’ because I have never liked any of the definitions I have seen as to what a ‘life coach’ is. I don’t think I’d ever feel qualified to be someone’s ‘life’ coach.
On the other hand, I do think of myself and what I do with individuals as much more of a ‘transition coach’ because when people need help in some fashion, it usually seems that they need the help because they are going through some type of transition. Anyway, I like your stuff. You can check me out at http://www.budboughton.com.
