205: Developing a Strong Personal Foundation (REQUIRED)
A Solid Personal Foundation is an intentional decision to live your life in a way that will support you to be your very best (i.e. be atthe top of your game). It is an intentional investment in yourself so that you can experience the abundant life Jesus spoke of in John 10:10b. Using the analogy of a house, your personal foundation is the actual foundation upon which your “house” is built. The foundation is comprised of three main components:
- Your relationship with God
- Your relationship with Yourself
- Your relationship with Others (especially family and friends)
The objective of this 8 week tele-class is to help you develop your own solid personal foundation, as well provide you with practical and proven techniquest to help your coachees develop a solid personal foundation.
