In my blog series, Power of Coaching, I have interviewed Patti Cotton with Patti Cotton Coaching, in Southern California.

Patti helps brilliant women discover and claim their best self, and help them architect and launch their next chapter, so that they can present their great work more powerfully and profitably to the world.

This interview is packed with insightful information that will help you better understand the power of coaching.

In this interview, we discussed:

  • what is an individuals’ ‘Immunity to Change’
  • how an individual’s ‘immune system’ develops and may get in the way of leading the life they want
  • learn about the impact of your ‘immunity systems’ on getting what you want
  • learn how to break through your ‘immunity system’
  • impact of breaking through one self-limiting area and how this can affect the whole person
  • the impact of coaching on individuals and organizations
  • how coaching can help individuals realize more focus and results in their personal and professional lives
  • two success stories –
