If people could do it themselves, they would have done it by now. At times people just need some help confronting their core beliefs about their self. This is hard work because it s how you identify yourself. </p> <h2 align="center"><img src="images/div.gif" width="490" height="1"></h2> <h2>Life Coaching</h2> <p>Life coaching is a professional service providing clients with feedback, insights, and guidance from an outside vantage point. Life coaches are qualified professionals who act as a sounding board for solutions to the challenges faced on a daily basis. Challenges like: </p> <ul> <li>Making a career transition</li> <li>Starting a new business</li> <li>Feeling dissatisfied</li> <li>Reevaluating life choices</li> <li>Looking for personal and professional breakthroughs </li> </ul> <p>Life coaching is similar to the practice of a psychologist. The major difference is that life coaching is an ongoing collaborative partnership built on taking action. In this powerful alliance, clients find themselves: </p> <ul> <li>Doing more than they would on their own</li> <li>Taking themselves more seriously</li> <li>Creating momentum and consistency</li> <li>Taking more effective and focused actions</li> <li>Becoming more balanced and fulfilled </li> </ul> <p align="center"><img src="images/div.gif" width="490" height="1"></p> <p align="center"><b>QUICK LINKS:</b></p> <p align="center"><a href="chicago_therapist.htm">Counseling and Therapy</a> <b>::</b> <a href="chicago_therapy.htm">Life Strategy</a> <b>::</b> <a href="therapeutic_issues.htm">Therapeutic Issues</a> <b>::</b> <a href="background_information.htm">Background Information</a><br> <a href="psychological_assessments.htm">Psychological Assessments</a> <b>::</b> <a href="useful_resources.htm">Useful Resources</a> <b>::</b> <a href="privacy_policy.htm">Privacy Policy</a> <b>::</b> <a href="chicago_counseling.htm">Site Map</a> <b>::</b> <a href="index.htm">Home</a></p> <p align="center">&nbsp;</p> <p align="center"><b>Center For Personal Development</b><br> 444 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 1820 | Chicago, IL 60611<br> Tel: 312.755.7000 | Fax: 312.755.7001<br> Web: <a href="http://www.chicagotherapist.com">www.chicagotherapist.com</a> | E-mail: <a href="mailto:info@chicagotherapist.com">info@chicagotherapist.com</a></p> <p align="center"></p> <p align="center">&nbsp;</p> </td> <td width="10" height="186" valign="top"><img src="images/nav/shim.gif" width="8" height="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#663300" width="240">&nbsp;</td> <td width="16">&nbsp;</td> <td width="514"><img src="images/nav/shim.gif" width="524" height="1"></td> <td width="10">&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
