Direction Life Coaching
Life Coaching? Is it for me? Call Paola Gancman to schedule your free session! No matter how you look at it, life can be complicated. We all have life roles, pressures, obligations and dreams that can make us feel overwhelmed and stuck. Life coaching is intended to help you achieve your personal goals by understanding where you have been, where you are today and how to move forward. Life coaching does not diagnose, explore the past or treat psychological disorders. Life coaching asks, “where would you like to be and how can we get there?” Contact Paola to learn more at 818.920.8323 or Pao@directionlifecoaching.com.
