"Understanding that self discovery and self-reflection is the key to changing attitudes and behaviors, I entered into the professional coaching experience with an open mind and a willing heart. Commitment to the process as well as hard work helped me to succeed. But you can't do it alone. There is an old proverb that states: "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear." I also know that God will send angels. I know I had both in Joy Goldman. Thank you, Joy!"
