I am ooking for 3 volunteers to help me with my training as a life coach. If you have ever considered hiring a life coach, but were not sure exactly what it entailed or didn't have the finances, why not volunteer and be my client. You get free coaching and I get my coaching hours. My speciality is Life Coaching. How can I help you?

1. Do you feel like there is something missing in your life?
2. Have you tried to make life changes (lose weight, quit smoking, stop procrastinating) without success.
3. Do you want to make changes in your life, but don't know where to begin?
4. Are you an ex-pat having difficulty adjusting to a new life in a new culture?
5. Would you like to explore your full potential?
6. Are you curious about life coaching and want to give it a try?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might want to volunteer. If you are interested or want more information, please send me an email at lifecoach@europe.com. The coaching sessions can be face-to-face (Florence center), Skype tele-sessions, or a combination of the two.
