The Five Branches of Holistic Coaching
Mind, Body, Emotion, Spirit, and Lifestyle Work Together for Whole-Person Transformation In today’s fast-paced, goal-obsessed culture, coaching often gets reduced to tracking habits and chasing outcomes.

The Person-Centered Approach: What Carl Rogers Taught Us About Being Human

This approach to human potential, which he called client-centered therapy and later person-centered practice, changed not just therapy—but coaching, education, ministry, and... Read more...
