Description
The newly-emerging profession of personal/life/success coaching has many parallels to the work of peer specialists. Peer specialists and personal coaches help support others in articulating specific personal goals and taking steps toward those goals. Both foster hope, personal responsibility, and self-determination in those they serve. And both seek to create a sense of enthusiasm and "can-do" spirit within others. Step outside the traditional mental health arena in this course to see what the coaching profession can teach you.
