One-on-one coaching can be expensive and so this book was designed to make these methods and strategies available to everyone in an affordable and concise resource. Everyone can benefit from this self help book that takes you on a practical journey through building relationships from the ground up, developing a rewarding career, managing your day to day life effectively and discovering your true potential.
