THE COACHING APPRENTICE
Hi, I’m Brendan and I am a coaching apprentice.
I first became aware of the power of coaching several years ago and I am now fortunate enough to be studying coaching at level 5.
I started this website to share my journey and after a break (mainly due to studying and life) I am back.
I believe that with coaching you can climb any mountain. You are the master of your destiny.
What Is Coaching?
In a nutshell, coaching is a conversation that enables a person to accelerate their growth.
