Coaching
Coaching is a specific approach that takes clients from where they are to where they want to be. A coach is someone who walks beside the client and encourages them to take the steps they need in order to achieve their goals and dreams.
Martha Taylor, Founder of EquiDiscovery, LLC is a certified coach (ACC) with the International Federation of Coaches (IFC).
