While change is usually the last thing we want in life, major transitions always have a way of catching up to us. But why do we try to fight change? 

It’s not that change is bad. Quite simply, dealing with life transitions like Chapter X is disruptive and challenging because it forces us to let go of the familiar. Your next chapter must have different definitions around it.

Perhaps a coach can help you get there. Today I’m speaking with Laurie Thomas, executive coach. She’s here to shed light on her experience with helping others dig deep within themselves for answers.

In this episode, we covered:

• Who needs a coach — and what can coaches do for them?
• Which attributes are aligned most closely with successful outcomes in transitions
• One key exercise Laurie uses to help make unadventurous people more daring
• Why looking back over your life matters for healthy retirement planning
• The biggest reason why coaching isn’t the same practice as therapy
• 3 pieces of advice on what to consider as you approach a life transition
